Want to know how to really achieve a hypoallergenic home?
It's easier than you think. Here are some tips
The first step is to eliminate things that can trigger allergies in your home. This means keeping pets out of the bedroom, and making sure all the curtains and drapes are washable. It also means using hypoallergenic cleaning products, like vinegar or baking soda. If you have pets, it's important to keep them out of the bedroom, as well as off furniture (including cushions). They can shed their dander, which can trigger allergies. If you have asthma, make sure you're not breathing in too much dust while vacuuming or dusting—you'll want to clean with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter. If possible, use an air purifier in your bedroom at night so that any allergens that come into contact with your skin during sleep will be filtered out before they wake you up!
Then, make sure that everything in your home is clean—especially those things that get touched often like doorknobs or light switches (where germs tend to build up). You'll want to clean these surfaces with disinfectant wipes every day so they stay sanitary.
So how do you achieve this state of being? The first thing to know is that it's all about minimizing allergens in your home. And while many people think they can just get rid of their pets and prevent allergies that way, it's not quite so simple.
Some studies suggest that pets don't actually make people more likely to have allergies or asthma attacks—it's more likely that people who already have these conditions are more likely to get pets as companions. The real cause of most allergic reactions is something called "indoor allergen exposure." This means that the allergens in your home can trigger an attack even if you don't have any dogs or cats around.
