6 Things to Clean in Your Home This Allergy Season

Allergy season doesn’t just live outside. Dust, dander, and pollen love to settle indoors—and your sinuses know it. Here are six spots to tackle if you want to breathe easier:

1. Air Vents & Filters

Your HVAC system is circulating more than just air. Dust builds up fast, and if you’re not changing filters every 1–3 months, you’re basically blowing allergens into every room.

2. Bedding

You sleep with dust mites every night (gross, we know). Wash sheets, pillowcases, and blankets weekly in hot water to kick them out.

3. Carpets & Rugs

These are allergen traps. Vacuum with a HEPA filter at least twice a week. More if you have pets.

4. Upholstery & Curtains

Soft surfaces collect dust and pet dander like it’s their job. Don’t ignore them—vacuum or wash monthly, and more often during peak allergy seasons.

5. Bathroom Surfaces

Mold thrives in damp spots. Clean shower grout, under sinks, and around toilets regularly to keep spores from spreading.

6. Entryways

Your shoes are dragging in pollen, dirt, and who-knows-what. Mop frequently, and consider a “shoes off” rule to cut down on tracked-in allergens.
