Why Professional Cleaning Is the Best Answer to Spring Allergy Triggers

Often enough, we hear people say Spring is the season for “new beginnings.” However, for the unfortunate others, Spring can be the season of endless sneezing. 

While many homeowners think closing the window will be enough to keep allergens out, pollen and mold spores enter houses through different ways, such as clothes and pets. That is why regular vacuuming won’t be enough. What your house needs is a professional deep cleaning service in Metro Vancouver, BC.

Uncovering the Big Three of Hidden Triggers

Seasonal allergy triggers are not always visible. Throughout our experience delivering residential cleaning services in Vancouver, these are the top 3 allergens most homeowners find challenging to manage without professional intervention:

Pollen: Even though pollen is light enough to travel by air and small enough to enter the tiniest gaps, it is microscopically jagged and sticky. This is why it can easily settle deep within carpet and upholstery.

Dust Mites: These microscopic critters hold a protein in their waste and decaying parts that trigger sneezes. Dust mites are usually tucked in the base of carpets and furniture paddings, making them hard to reach without professional deep cleaning.

Pet Dander: Smaller and lighter than pollen, pet dander (skin cells) remains airborne for hours. They often stick to rugs, curtains, and other surfaces.

Overlooked Ways Allergens Can Enter Your Home

Closed windows won’t stop allergens from getting inside your home. Here are some ways allergens transport themselves that you might not know about:

👉 Grocery bags and parcels

👉 Store-bought or freshly picked flowers

👉 Pet’s paws and undercoat

👉 Outdoor-dried laundry

👉 Backpack, clothes, and shoe soles

Will DIY Home Cleaning be Enough?

Allergens can be extremely tricky to handle alone. Why? 

For starters, dusting allergens out with a dry cloth will only move and spread them to different areas of the house. What’s more is that most household vacuums lack HEPA filtration. That means the fine dust will only end up exhausted back into the air.

Finally, if you’re considering buying off-the-shelf cleaners, you need to do proper research on the products before using them. Some cleaning chemicals can do more harm to the body, turning an irritation into a respiratory problem in the worst cases.

The bottom line here is that while DIY cleaning is cheaper than professional residential cleaning, this approach often falls short on addressing the root of the issue.
