Clean Less: The Healthiest Resolution You Can Make




In our homes we often care less about the health implication which comes with cleaning. We can create a better environment suitable for our health while we keep our houses clean.

Some tips that can be helpful are outlines below:

Dust Protection
Dust mite are a very small creature that lives in the dust in your house and that can cause an allergic reaction. Try covering your mattresses and pillows with dust resistant encasing. This will help minimise the amount of dust mite allergen.

Removing Mould

Molds are fungus that can sometimes post health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems. They are common component of household and workplace dust. If you are sensitive to strong odours, wear a mask or get someone else to perform this task for you.

Sprays are breathable.
You could opt for wipes and sponges rather than sprays, which spread chemicals throughout the air. Simply keep your house ventilated as a recourse.

Disinfectants can irritate airways.
 It’s just that overzealous cleaning can actually worsen your breathing. Researches made has found that cleaning products that contain disinfectants release chemicals that increase asthma risk -- or aggravate the condition if you already have it.

Washing
Hot wash your bedding – washes above 55°C will kill dust mites. Or if you wash in cold water use a product containing essential oils.

I hope I have been helpful.

Happy Weekend!
