Best Cleaning Products for Allergy Sufferers
1. Anti-Allergen Spray
The air around us is the obvious and the most efficient medium for the spread of pollens, dust, or similar microscopic allergens. And as contaminated air came in contact with everything around us, these allergens stick to our hands. Using anti-allergen spray now and then all around and on hands can wipe off these allergens.
Why it works
Anti-allergen sprays use specific oxidizing compounds that wipe of allergens such as pollen pet dander, dust mites, mold, and other microbes.
2. HEPA Filter Vacuum
To get rid of indoor air pollution, HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) is an incredible investment. A simple vacuum cleaner traps some dust particles or allergens leaving the minute ones outside. Whereas, in HEPA filter vacuum dust mites and other allergens are trapped first by interception and diffusion into the filter fibers.

HEPA filter vacuums prevent the dust particles, pet dander, and dust mites from dispersing in the air. With a HEPA filter in your home, you’ll be breathing in the cleanest air possible.

That’s why it is highly recommended for allergy sufferers to choose non-toxic and unscented dyes. Before making a purchase, do look for hypoallergenic and dermatologists tested detergents to avoid any mishaps.

I bought the Air Purifier with HEPA Filter like 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been sleeping like a baby ever since. I usually keep it on sleep mode at night, and it works perfectly for me. I’m pleased with the purchase, and I highly recommend it to people with allergies.
Hi Gorjan,
It works right. I’ve been preaching installing an air purifier near the bed for anyone with dust mite allergies.

I have several allergies, but I seem to have been able to ban all the things that gave me allergies. Because nowadays there is hardly anything that irritates my skin. Only cats can make me aware of my hair allergy – I get red eyes and sneeze within the hour. 🙂
I discovered baking soda just recently and am indeed enthusiastic about it. Because I don’t want to use chemicals nor single-use plastic for environmental reasons, I make cleaning products with it. I also used it to make toothpaste, but I am afraid it cleans the glaze off my teeth. So it’s only used for the bathroom and sink now.
Thanks for listing all those possibilities. Whenever an allergy does get back to me, I know where to look.
Hi Hannie,
I’m not fond of chemical stuff either. Baking soda is indeed a multipurpose wonder. Allergies often come knocking unexpectedly and it’s good to be prepared.
Cheers,
Kenny
