Allergy Season Cleaning Routine: Eco-Friendly Tips from GreenNest

Spring and fall bring beauty and change—but also allergens. For allergy sufferers, these seasons can mean sneezing fits, watery eyes, and stuffy noses. At GreenNest, we believe that your home should be a refuge from irritants. That’s why we’ve put together an eco-friendly cleaning routine tailored to allergy season.

1. Start with the Air
Replace or clean your air filters monthly. Use HEPA filters to trap pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. A natural essential oil spray can also freshen the air without synthetic chemicals.

2. Dust with Intention
Don’t just move dust—trap it. Use microfiber cloths that capture particles instead of spreading them. Pay special attention to vents, blinds, and ceiling fans, which often go overlooked.

3. Vacuum Frequently
Vacuuming twice a week with a HEPA-equipped vacuum helps reduce allergens in carpets and rugs. Don’t forget upholstered furniture and under beds, where dust tends to settle.

4. Wash Fabrics Weekly
Bedding, curtains, and throw pillows collect allergens. Wash them in hot water once a week. Choose eco-friendly detergents to keep your home toxin-free and gentle on sensitive skin.

5. Mop Without Harsh Chemicals
Use a natural floor cleaner made with vinegar or plant-based ingredients. At GreenNest, we offer non-toxic solutions that are safe for both your family and the planet.

6. Keep Entryways Clean
Place mats at every door and remove shoes indoors to avoid tracking in pollen and dirt. Shake out mats and sweep entryways regularly.

7. Declutter for Easy Cleaning
Fewer surfaces mean fewer places for dust to settle. Keep countertops and shelves clear to make wiping down easier and more effective.

By adopting these simple, green cleaning habits, you can breathe easier—even during allergy season. GreenNest’s eco-friendly products help you maintain a healthy home without compromising your values. Clean smarter, live better.
