As the weather warms up and flowers start to bloom in Northeast Ohio, May is a great time of year to enjoy the outdoors. However, it’s also a time when allergens such as pollen can enter your home and cause discomfort. To keep your home clean and comfortable during this time of year, there are a few things you can do.
Firstly, focus on improving your indoor air quality. Pollen and other allergens can enter your home through open windows and doors, so make sure to close them during high pollen count times. You can also use air filters in your HVAC system to trap allergens, and consider investing in a HEPA filter to remove fine particles from the air. Additionally, it’s essential to regularly clean and change your air filters to prevent the buildup of dust and other allergens.
Secondly, make sure to regularly clean your floors. With increased outdoor activity during the spring, it’s easy for dirt, pollen, and other debris to be tracked into your home. Regularly vacuuming and mopping your floors can help prevent allergens from accumulating in your home. Additionally, placing doormats at entryways can help trap dirt and pollen before they enter your home.
Thirdly, decluttering your home can also help reduce the amount of dust and allergens that can accumulate. Take advantage of spring cleaning to get rid of items you no longer need and make cleaning easier in the long run.
Lastly, make sure to regularly clean your bedding. Bedding can collect dust and other allergens, so it’s essential to regularly wash your sheets, pillowcases, and comforters. Consider using hypoallergenic bedding to further reduce the amount of allergens in your bedroom.
By following these tips, you can help keep your Bedford home clean, comfortable, and healthy during the month of May. Reducing the amount of allergens in your home can help alleviate allergy symptoms and make your living space a more pleasant place to be.
