Follow on Google News | Cleaning Tips to Reduce Common Asthma and Allergy TriggersMaid Brigade Offers Green Cleaning Guide in Honor of Asthma and Allergy Month
By: Maid Brigade “You can reduce common asthma and allergy triggers in your home by taking a green cleaning approach,” says Marie Stegner, consumer health advocate and blogger for the green cleaning leader, Maid Brigade. “With May designated as Asthma and Allergy Month, now is the perfect time to implement a healthy home cleaning routine.” These home cleaning tips from the green cleaning experts at Maid Brigade will keep you in the breath zone and out of the sneeze zone. Bedrooms Vacuum mattresses at least once a month and pillows weekly. Use a HEPA filter closed-canister vacuum to remove 99 percent of particles one micron or greater. Launder linens in 130 degree water or hotter to kill dust mites. And, don’t forget Mother Nature—direct sunlight kills dust mites so when the weather allows, hang blankets out in the sun and leave the bed unmade to let the sun shine in. Home Office The home office can be a haven for many toxins including neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors. Wipe down home office computers, copiers, printers, chargers, and surge protectors regularly with a microfiber dusting cloth to eliminate dust and fine particles that can irritate respiratory passages. Choose home office furniture carefully as it is often made of composites, which can omit toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). Bathrooms Moisture helps irritating mold and mildew to grow. Keep your overall home humidity below 45 percent to prevent mold and mildew growth. Use the bathroom exhaust fan when showering or open a window to allow the moisture to escape. Scour the tub and sink at least once a week using a natural scrub paste made from baking soda and water to eliminate fungus friendly soap scum.
