Effective cleaning for allergy sufferers: Tips for allergen-free rooms

In a city like Zurich, where many people work and live in offices, apartments, and public buildings, it is always important to be mindful of allergies. Dust, pet hair, pollen, and mold spores are just some of the most common allergens that can trigger reactions in enclosed spaces. Here are some practical tips to create an allergen-free environment through targeted cleaning:

1. Regular vacuuming and dusting

Dust at home or in the office is one of the most common allergy triggers. To reduce the concentration of dust and dust mites, you should vacuum and dust regularly – ideally on a daily basis. It is particularly important to pay attention to dust traps such as curtains and carpets. In Zurich apartments and offices with carpeted floors, using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter can be especially effective, as it removes even the finest particles from the air and floor. At NW Clean GmbH, all of our vacuum cleaners come equipped with HEPA filters as standard.

2. Avoiding carpets and upholstered furniture

Carpets and upholstered furniture are magnets for allergens. In offices, apartments, or medical practices, it is advisable to opt for smooth flooring such as parquet or tiles, which are much easier to clean. Furniture with removable, washable covers is also a good choice for reducing allergen build-up.

3. Air purifiers and regular ventilation

In a city like Zurich, where airborne pollen and fine dust levels can be seasonally high, regular ventilation helps reduce allergens indoors. During pollen season, windows should ideally be opened in the early morning or after a rain shower, when the pollen count in the air is at its lowest. Using air purifiers with HEPA filters can further help remove allergens from indoor air.

4. Using allergy-friendly cleaning products

Many conventional cleaning products contain chemical ingredients that can make allergies worse. It is therefore advisable to choose cleaning products specifically designed for allergy sufferers. In Zurich, there are now numerous specialist shops offering ecological and allergy-friendly products that are free from fragrances and irritating chemicals.

5. Professional cleaning for allergy households

For people with particularly severe allergies, a professional cleaning service such as the one offered by NW Clean GmbH in Zurich can provide great relief. With specialist materials and allergy-friendly cleaning methods, our cleaning staff ensure that even the most stubborn allergens are removed, creating a healthy indoor climate for you and your family.
