A Spring Cleaning Bonus -
Controlling Allergies
and Asthma
Spring is here and with it comes
allergies One bonus of spnng
cleaning efforts is the reduction of
allergens, such as animal dander,
dust nntes. mold, mildew, and
cockroach droppings, that can
trigger an asthma or allergy attack
In addition to a regular thorough
spring cleaning. The Soap and
Detergent Association recommend
instituting some simple long-term
changes to help control these
allergies
Bedrooms
Items that attract or hold
allergens should be under scrutiny
Because so much time is spent in
the bedroom, it’s an important
place to start - especially for family
members who have asthma
Exchange draperies for smooth
blinds or washable curtains Wipe
blinds weekly with a clean, damp
cloth, and wash the curtains
monthly If possible, replace
carpeting with vinyl, linoleum or
wood flooring - carpets are a
magnet for allergens
Clean up clutter, then keep
closet drawers and doors closed
Set up a play area in another room
where allergen-attracting stuffed
animals and other toys can be
stored
Sheets should be washed
weekly, blankets and bedspreads
monthly Dust furniture weekly
using a dusting product or a
special cloth that attracts dust
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are a pnme source
for mold and mildew because of
the water and moisture General
preventative measures include
wiping down shower walls after
showing or bathing and keeping
shower doors or curtains open so

the walls can air dry When
possible, open a window or use an
exhaust fan to air out the room
and remove humidity dunng an
after showering Wipe up the
water around showers and tubs
daily Keep the areas under the
sink and around the toilet dry and
clean, and repair any leaks
immediately
Give the shower stall and
bathtub a thorough weekly
cleaning Be sure to remove all
the soap scum, otherwise, it >vill
act as a-breeding ground for
mildew , Other weekly
maintenance includes washing
towels, bathmats and any small
area rugs
Kitchen
Cockroaches are attracted to
food and moisture, thus the
kitchen is a potential source of
allergens Food spills, crumbs and
liquids should be immediately
cleaned off countertops and floors
Dishes should be washed and
dried as soon as possible after
eating Food should be kept in
closed containers Cover any
food, including pet food, that will
be left out overnight
Clean food and grease from the
stove daily and, if possible, clean
under and behind the stove The
trash should also be emptied daily
Garbage cans and recycling bins
should be cleaned and disinfected
weekly Floors should be washed
weekly As further precautions,
keep the cabinet under the sink
dry, and don’t leave water sitting
in an open container
Check the kitchen for cracks
around walls or cabinets where
cockroaches can get in, and seal
them up If cockroaches should
appear, use a bait or gel product to
get nd of them, following
instructions on the product
Living Areas
Living areas should be kept
clean and clutter-free Smooth,
easv-to-clean furniture, closed
Page 5A / March 23,
cabinets and plastic containers for
toys, books and knick-knacks will
make the task easier if possible,
use smooth blinds ro shades
Doorways, window frames and
windowsills are gathering places
for dust, pollen and mold spores
To keep these allergens under
control, clean and dry the window
frames and sills regularly
Use washable nigs at the doors,
an wash them weekly Clean
ceiling fans and light fixtures at
least monthly, using a clean, damp
cloth Use filters over air
conditioning and heating vents
Clean the vents weekly by
vacuuming or wiping them down
with a damp cloth If possible,
change the filters regularly
Gutter Control
Because clutter attracts dust,
every room should be as clutter-
free as possible To achieve this,
work one room at a time Start by
taking everything out of the closet,
dresser, shelves, and under the bed
or sofa Separate things into
distinct piles, such as clothes,
shoes, toys, books, etc Donate or
sell everything that is no longer
needed
Next, reorganize storage areas
so that similar items are togther
For example, keep school supplies
near the desk or table where
children do their homework,
videos by the VCR and toys in the
play area Be sure children’s
things are in places that are easy
for them to reach
Wherever possible, store items
inside drawers, closets, covered
boxes, or plastic containers so
dust won’t collect on them. Label
the containers so everyone knows
where things belong Review the
clutter plan with all family
members, especially children, and
remind them that controlling
clutter may help reduce asthma
attacks Work with them to
develop the habit of putting one
thing back before getting
something else out
