1. Dusting and Vacuuming: 

Dust is a notorious carrier of allergens. Regularly dust all surfaces using a damp cloth or a microfiber cloth to prevent stirring up particles. Don't forget to vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstery using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. This special filter traps tiny allergen particles, preventing them from being blown back into the air. 

2. Washing Linens: 

Bedding, curtains, and other textiles are favorite hiding spots for dust mites and pet dander. Wash these items in hot water above 130°F to kill dust mites and remove allergens. Consider using hypoallergenic pillowcases and mattress covers to create a barrier between you and potential allergens. 

3. Tackling Pet Allergens: 

If you have pets, they can contribute to allergens indoors. Regular grooming, including baths, brushing, and keeping their living areas clean, can help reduce pet dander. Vacuuming and sweeping more frequently is also essential in homes with pets. 

4. Mold Prevention: 

Mold loves damp and humid environments. Keep your home well-ventilated and address any leaks or water issues promptly. Regularly clean and dry areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and basements, to prevent mold growth. 

5. Air Purification: 

Invest in high-quality air purifiers with HEPA filters to trap allergens and improve indoor air quality. Place them strategically in areas where you spend the most time.
