Perks of Seasonal Cleaning

You may be surprised to learn that a thorough seasonal cleaning has a rather large variety of health benefits ranging from sleep health to overall happiness throughout your day. 

• Helps you Breathe Better

Each new season comes with a plethora of allergies: pollen, ragweed, and grass to name a few. However, those seasonal allergies might not be the only thing that has you sneezing. Dust and pet dander are common culprits when it comes to allergies, so that deep seasonal cleaning can have you breathing better overnight!

• Helps you Sleep Better

Research shows that close to 75% of people sleep better on clean sheets! Washing your sheets regularly can play a major role in the quality of your sleep. In addition, it is recommended that you replace your standard quality sheets (non-linens) every 2 to 3 years and your pillowcases every year for maximum comfort and sleep hygiene. Dirty pillowcases and sheets can contribute to worsening allergies and acne. 

• Reduces the Chance of Injury

When there’s excess clutter around the house, there are more things that could pose a tripping hazard for you, your children, and elder family members. By clearing up your walkways and other high-traffic areas of unneeded furniture, clutter, cords, and loose rugs, you can greatly reduce the chances of any accidents. You won’t have to worry about feeling the pain of stepping on any Legos any time soon!

• Improves your Mood

If you find yourself trying to escape that winter funk, studies have shown that having a consistently clean house can not only improve your mood but lessen signs of depression throughout your day. By reducing the amount of clutter and unfinished projects in your home, you can expect to be in a more positive mood, but also more productive at work. Especially lately as more and more people have been working from home, keeping your office space clean and organized can make you more productive at work as office space clutter is cited as one of the most damaging contributions to productivity.

How To Rid Your Home of Allergens with Seasonal Cleaning

Seasonal allergies are no picnic. As the weather changes, so does the air that you breathe, and every few days (or maybe every day), you’re dealing with different symptoms. When Mother Nature can’t make up her mind, it’s even worse.

However, there are key things you can do to help make your home more allergy-friendly. By cleaning the air and setting key steps into place, you can help remove allergens from your home. And therefore, create a safer, healthier breathing space.

Vacuum Often

One of the most obvious ways you can help to reduce allergens in your home is to vacuum regularly. Pull out dirt, bugs, and more from your carpet and rugs. The same goes for your furniture and curtains. These items are rarely vacuumed and can be a hotbed for allergens. Consider vacuuming your mattress too.

While you’re at it, be sure you’re changing or washing vacuum filters. If you’re using a dirty vacuum, you’re doing very little to actually pull these items from the air. Ensure you’re filtering them out as you go.

Use an Air Purifier

Another way to remove allergens from the air is to use an air purifier. Keep it on at all times and place it in areas where there’s regular foot traffic or where the door is opened frequently. This can help keep your air as clean as possible. Be sure to clean out the air purifier, too.

While you’re at it, you may want to keep the windows closed. Even in nicer temps, opening screen doors or windows can bring in unwanted items and trigger unwanted side effects.

Wash and Wash Some More

If something can go in the washer, put it in the washer. Or spray it down with something that will help remove or eliminate allergens. Sheets, blankets, mattress covers, pillow covers, rugs, etc. all of these things collect dust, mites, and more. Regular washing will keep them fresh and clean instead. Look for washing detergents that freshen as they wash. As for sprays, everyone has their own preferences, but germ killers, fresheners, etc. can do the trick.

Keep the Pets in Check

Finally, you’ll want to keep a close eye on what your pets are up to. Are they into dirt? Pollen? Other plants? If they’re dragging these items back into your house, you could have a hotbed of allergens without even realizing it. Be sure to watch where pets go, especially right after coming indoors. Check pet beds and rugs often too.

By following all of the above, you can create a well-rounded approach to eliminating allergens from your home, including seasonal allergies. Consider regular cleaning efforts, paired with air purification, and more.

Of course, scheduling professional cleaning services from My Amazing Maid can also help rid your home of allergens year-round. To learn more about keeping allergies out of your house and how to improve your home’s air quality, take a look at our past blogs.
