Allergens in living ares 1

When children play and crawl on the floor, they breathe in allergens. Keep carpets, furniture and curtains as clean and dust free as possible.

When you vacuum, some of the allergens trapped in carpets and upholstery are thrown into the air. Whenever possible, have a non-allergic person do the vacuuming. Or, wear a dust mask and goggles if eye allergies are a problem.

  • If possible, use a vacuum that has a HEPA filter and/or exhaust filter; or use a special bag that holds allergens inside the bag.
  • Vacuum at least once a week. Vacuum more often if you have a pet.
  • Empty the dirt bag when its half full (or throw it away if its disposable).
  • An upright vacuum or a canister with a powered nozzle is best for carpet. They pick up a lot more dust than a canister vacuum without a powered nozzle.
  • A canister vacuum without a powered nozzle is good for cleaning upholstery, draperies, blinds and light dusting.
If Carpet Gets Wet
Mold, mildew and germs grow in wet or damp carpeting. Carpets that have been damp or wet for more than 24 hours should be removed or professionally cleaned.
