Control Allergens with a Bedroom Spring Clean
Effective Spring-Cleaning Tips for Allergy Relief:
- Declutter: Remove unnecessary items to reduce dust collectors.
- Deep Clean: Dust with damp cloths, vacuum with HEPA filters, and clean walls and windows to remove allergens.
- Wash Bedding: Use hot water (above 55°C) to eliminate dust mites from bedding, and regularly wash or replace mattress and pillow protectors.
- Adjust Air Quality: Replace air filters in your heating and cooling systems, preferably with HEPA filters to better trap allergens.
For severe allergy sufferers, consider using fully encased mattress protectors like Protect-A-Bed® Allerzip® which offers comprehensive protection against allergens. With proper cleaning and protective measures, your bedroom can become a sanctuary for relief from seasonal allergies.

These not only feed dust mites but also contribute to the growth of mould and bacteria.
