Getting the Home Professionally Cleaned and Allergy-Free

If you have allergies, you know and understand how important it is to keep your home clean and free of allergens. But what if you don’t have the time or energy to do it yourself? Hiring a professional cleaner is quite a simple way to get a deep clean without lifting a finger.

Many things must be remembered when hiring a professional cleaner, though. First, be sure to communicate your allergies and what you’re hoping to achieve with the cleaning. This will help the cleaner know what to focus on. 

Second, try to clarify the areas that you want to be tended to the most. To keep an allergy-free home, have these parts of your home tended to the most:

Bedroom 

The bedroom is where you spend so much of your life, so it’s important to keep it as allergen-free as possible. Dust mites are such a common allergen, and they love to hide in mattresses. Here are some extra areas to pay attention to:

• Bedding. Wash your mattress’s bedding regularly in hot water to kill dust mites. This can get rid of these allergens and ensure that you get a good night’s sleep.
• Blinds. Dust mites also love to hide in blinds, so it’s best to have your cleaners dust them as thoroughly as possible.
• Windows. Keep your bedroom windows closed and polished to prevent pollen and other outdoor allergens from coming inside.

Living Room

The living room is known as a common gathering place in the home. It’s key to have your cleaner dust and vacuum all surfaces in the common area when you have allergies. In addition to that:

• Flooring. Keep your flooring clean by allowing your cleaners to dust, sweep and mop on a regular basis. Carpeting should be given special care.
• Furniture. Make sure to dust and clean your furniture regularly to keep it looking its best and prevent any allergens from settling on it.
• Fireplace. If you have a nice fireplace, make sure to clean it to remove any floating allergens and ensure its functionality in the future.

Kitchen

The kitchen is where the household’s food is prepared, so it’s important to keep it as clean as possible to avoid cross-contamination. Be sure to have your cleaner wipe down all surfaces of this space on a regular basis to prevent bacteria and allergens, like:

• Stove. Wipe down the stovetop with a disinfectant after each use. Have your cleaners tend to the area under the burners and in the crevices where food can accumulate.
• Appliances. Clean the exterior and interior of all appliances, including the fridge, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. 
• Cabinetry. Wipe down all cabinet doors and drawer fronts on a regular basis and clean the inside as needed.

Bathroom

The bathroom is full of potential allergens like dust, debris, and residue. A professional cleaner can help remove these allergens from different parts of this home area, such as:

• Shower and Tub. A professional cleaner can help remove soap scum, mildew, and other allergens from your shower and tub.
• Bowl and Sink. Remove any buildup around your sink and in your bathroom bowl with a special cleaning solution.
• Walls. Take care of the grouting in the walls and ensure that the bathroom walls are completely cleaned.

Conclusion

While these are the most important areas to focus on, don’t forget about other areas of your home, like the laundry room, basement, and attic. A professional cleaner can help you keep your entire home allergen-free.
