Cleaning Tips for Allergy Season Relief

By PCS General | December 12, 2025 |

Allergy season can turn even the simplest day into a struggle. Sneezing, itchy eyes, and constant discomfort make it hard to focus—whether you’re at home or in the office. The good news? A cleaner space can significantly reduce your allergy symptoms and help you breathe easier. With the right cleaning habits, you can minimize allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. And when you need deeper, more thorough cleaning, Preferred Cleaning Service is here to support your health and comfort all season long.

Why Allergy Season Hits Hard

Allergy season brings spikes in airborne irritants. Common triggers include:

Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds
Dust mites lurking in carpets, upholstery, and vents
Pet dander trapped in fabrics
Mold spores thriving in damp or poorly ventilated areas

These allergens can easily travel indoors, especially in shared or high-traffic environments.

Top Cleaning Tips for Allergy Season Relief

1. Dust the Right Way (Not Just the Easy Way)

Avoid spreading allergens into the air. Instead of dry dusting, use microfiber cloths that trap dust and dander. Start from high surfaces—like shelves, vents, and ceiling fans—and work your way down.

2. Vacuum Frequently With HEPA Filtration

Regular vacuuming is essential during allergy season. Make sure your vacuum has a HEPA filter, which can capture the tiniest allergen particles. Focus on carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, and office chairs.

3. Change Air Filters Often

HVAC systems can circulate allergens if filters are old or clogged. Replace filters at least every 2–3 months—more often during peak allergy season. This simple step can noticeably improve indoor air quality.

4. Keep Windows Closed on High-Pollen Days

It’s tempting to let the breeze in, but outdoor pollen easily settles on surfaces. Use air purifiers or fans instead of opening windows during allergy season.

5. Deep Clean Soft Furnishings

Curtains, couch cushions, and carpets harbor allergens. Wash or steam-clean these items to remove trapped particles. If you’re managing a business, scheduling routine deep cleaning can protect your staff and customers from seasonal discomfort.

6. Reduce Clutter Where Allergens Hide

Stacks of papers, unwashed fabrics, and rarely moved items collect dust. Keep surfaces clear for easier, more effective cleaning.

7. Tackle Mold-Prone Areas

Bathrooms, basements, and kitchen corners are common breeding grounds for mold. Clean with anti-microbial solutions and ensure ample ventilation to prevent spores from spreading.
