Home Entrance

You probably don't think much about the entrance to your house in relation to allergies, but it's the gateway, and whatever is outside gets dragged inside. Here are moves you should consider.

·                    USE A DOORMAT MADE OF SYNTHETIC MATERIAL :- A doormat made of natural material (such as a rope or other fibres) can break down and become an excellent environment for mites, mould, and fungus, which then get tracked into the house. Wash all mats weekly.

·                    CLEAN ALL DEAD INSECTS FROM PORCH LIGHTS :- As they decompose, they can become an allergen source.

·                    IF YOU HAVE CARPETING IN YOUR ENTRANCE, CONSIDER REMOVING IT :- You want a hard floor for easy cleaning.

·                    PUT A SHELF OR RACK BY THE FRONT DOOR FOR FOOTWEAR and encourage your family and guests to remove their shoes when entering. This will reduce the amount of dust, mould, and other allergens that are tracked in. Keep some soft slippers in a basket by the front door for people who don't want to go shoeless.
