Dusty Homes Can Affect Asthma Sufferers

Dust

Do you struggle to find time to do the cleaning in your home or office? If the answer is yes, and you have anybody living or working within your home or commercial premises who is an asthma sufferer, read on as you could be making their illness worse. Asthma can be severely irritated by dust and other allergens that are in the air, and dust and allergens can build up in homes where the cleaning is not kept on top of on a regular basis. Many people with asthma are allergic to the excrement left by dust mites too so it is very important to keep the place spotless.

Asthma is a long term illness that can develop at any time in life. Most asthma sufferers are particularly allergic to a certain thing, but other allergens can also affect them. Keeping your home clean and dust free is therefore vital to preventing the worsening of asthma. In the UK, there are approximately 5.5 million asthma sufferers so you can see just how important this issue is. Asthma attacks can kill and so it really is a life or death situation.

Many people these days just don’t have the time to keep on top of the cleaning in their homes, as there are more pressures with work and family meaning that often people are very tired at the end of the day and need to relax rather than spending the time cleaning. But have you ever looked into the cost of getting a cleaner in to do the work for you? It is actually far cheaper than many people believe. And you only have to do a little research yourself to find plenty of good reasons to keep your home in tip top condition.

Not only is asthma and allergies a reason. There are bugs and bacteria that can thrive in your home if it is not kept clean and that’s why it is so important to ensure that anti-bacterial cleaning products are used in your home at least once a week. This will prevent colds and illnesses from being spread between people in your home or place of work. Colds and flu type viruses and illnesses are passed easily by a person with a cold touching a surface and someone else touching it afterwards. The bacteria passes from person to person easily that way.

It is recommended that your home is cleaned thoroughly at least once a week to remove the majority of the bacteria and nasty bugs that lurk in the dark corners of your home. But don’t be afraid to spend 10 minutes during the week giving it a quick blast too. Mattresses should be vacuumed regularly too as dust mites thrive in these. Bedding should be cleaned and washed at least once a week and you should try to wash settee covers and curtains once every couple of months to get those horrid bugs out that cause all sorts of illnesses in your home.
