Allergies can silently sabotage comfort and health, but the secret to relief is often found in our own living spaces. By adopting smart, consistent cleaning habits—just like the experts at Best Day Housecleaning recommend—you can dramatically reduce indoor allergens.
Embrace Professional-Grade Cleaning
Best Day Housecleaning emphasizes that routine, professional-level cleaning is more than just aesthetic—it’s therapeutic. Our Cleaning VIPs use specialized tools to tackle hidden dust, pet dander, and mold, which leads to significantly improving air quality in homes!
Don’t know what to expect for your first clean? Check out our blog here:
Dust Thoroughly—and Frequently
- High-touch surfaces (e.g. door frames, light fixtures) can harbor dust for months.
- Use microfiber cloths to trap particles.
- Never skip blinds, vents, or ceiling fans—they’re allergen hotspots.
Vacuum with Precision
- Choose a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter.
- Vacuum at least weekly, focusing on both carpets and hard floors.
- Don’t forget upholstery and drapery, which can accumulate dust silently.
Schedule Regular Deep Cleans
Best Day Housecleaning suggests a deep clean every few months to reach those overlooked areas like baseboards, under furniture, and behind appliances . This thorough approach resets your indoor environment.

Maintain Humidity & Ventilation
- Use dehumidifiers in damp spaces such as basements and bathrooms—dampness encourages mold.
- Ensure proper airflow throughout the home—quality cleaning teams often open windows (weather permitting) or use HEPA-rated air purifiers.
Clean Soft Surfaces Regularly
- Carpets, rugs, and curtains trap allergens and require:
- Frequent vacuuming with HEPA-equipped units.
- Professional steam cleaning to remove deep-seated dust mites and bacteria.
Tidy Bedding & Linens Weekly
- Wash sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers in hot water (≥ 130 °F) to kill dust mites.
- Consider allergen-proof encasings for pillows and mattresses.
Adopt an Anti-Pet-Dander Routine
For pet lovers:
- Brush and bathe pets outside if possible.
- Wash pet bedding weekly.
- Clean pet-occupied furniture frequently, with tools designed to trap pet hair.
