Stop Allergens at the Door this Spring

As winter ends and spring begins, many households refresh their cleaning routines. Warmer weather, outdoor activity, and seasonal changes can bring more dirt, pollen, and debris into the home. The following tips can help you manage everyday cleaning tasks during the spring season.

1. Wash your hands. Regular handwashing is a simple habit that can be part of a household cleaning and hygiene routine. Consider keeping soap, hand towels, or hand sanitizer available in convenient areas of the home.

2. Clean frequently used surfaces. Commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, counters, light switches, remote controls, computer keyboards, and mouse devices may need regular attention. Follow the product label instructions for any household cleaner or disinfectant you use.

3. Focus on high-use areas. When time is limited, prioritize areas that are used most often. Kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, living rooms, and shared workspaces can collect dust, crumbs, and everyday residue. Use clean cloths, paper towels, or appropriate cleaning tools for each surface.

4. Leave shoes at the door. Removing shoes near the entrance may help reduce the amount of outdoor dirt and debris tracked onto floors, carpets, and rugs. Consider placing a mat or shoe tray near entryways.

5. Keep tissues and wipes available. Place tissues, trash bins, and wipes in convenient areas such as bathrooms, bedrooms, cars, and common living spaces. This can make everyday cleanup easier for household members and guests.

6. Schedule professional cleaning when needed. Carpets, upholstery, tile, grout, and rugs can collect dust, dirt, and everyday buildup over time.
