Get Clean This Spring

I have a problem. I am allergic to (almost) everything. Dust mites, tree pollen, grass pollen, fleas, cockroaches, you name it, I am allergic to it. Until I had allergy testing done, I didn’t realize some of these allergies exist! It doesn’t help that I live in one of the top ten cities for allergies in the country. Some days all I have to do is walk outside and boom! I have a stuffy nose, sinus pressure, watery eyes and more. Not only did the kids inherit my allergies, they inherited asthma to go along with it.  Believe me, I am very careful to follow all of our asthma and allergists recommendations for reducing allergens around our home! Thankfully, two of my old standbys for cleaning, Febreze and Swiffer, have developed a line of products that the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America certified as Asthma and Allergy Friendly products, making my job of cleaning the house a little easier.

Even if you don’t have 90 million five pets like I do, these products can help you clean properly while reducing inanimate allergens around the home.  These new products include  the Febreze® Fabric Refresher Allergen Reducer (Unscented), the Swiffer Dry Duster (Unscented),  the Swiffer 360 Dry Duster (Unscented) and  the Swiffer Dry Sweeper (Unscented.) I put these to the test so I could share my results with you.

I sweep my hardwood floors daily with my Swiffer Sweeper.  I could say it is because I am a neat freak, but in reality it is to keep atop of all the pet hair scattered through out my house. Sometimes I think if my pets can’t produce enough shedding fur, they make pacts with the neighborhood animals to bring in more.  The Unscented Swiffer Dry Sweeper clothes pick up to 70% of inanimate allergens from pet dander and dust mite matter. Ha! Cats, I am on to your plan!

I am not a fan of dusting. I would prefer some sort of magical cleaning fairy dropped in while I slept and dusted the house for me. Since this is not happening, I use the Swiffer Duster and the 360 Duster. I especially like the 360 duster because I can use it in hard to reach areas, like my ceiling fan, the baseboards, light fixtures and on my ceiling if I see a dust bunny.  The dusters have thousands of flexible, fluffy fibers to trap and lock in dust. That’s 2 times more than a typical dusting cloth!

Sometimes, when I have drop in visitors, I want to hid any cat smells and reduce the pet dander lingering on everything. I grab the Febreze Fabric Refresher Unscented Allergen Reducer, which eliminates  odors and reduces up to 95% of inanimate allergens. This is a must before my friends with cat allergies come over for a visit! It seems to work because no one has ever complained of stuffy noses, watering eyes, or other allergic reactions.  Plus, they still come visit. I doubt they would come over if they got sick during each visit.
