Did you know that most household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can easily irritate allergy sufferers?

Because many cleaners have harsh chemical ingredients and strong fragrance in them, cleaning with such materials regularly can be hard for people who are sensitive to such chemicals.

Symptoms of allergy irritation include sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma attacks, skin rash, wheezing, etc. 

The following chemicals found in cleaning products can be irritating to allergy sufferers.

• Bacitracin
• Methylisothiazolinone
• Formaldehyde
• Benzalkonium Chloride
• Cobalt Chloride
• Fragrance
• Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
• Methyldibromo Glutaronitrile
• D-limonene
• Ammonia
• Sodium hypochlorite

The presence of molds, pollen, dust mites, and pet dander can also annoy allergies.

Since there is no way of completely getting rid of allergens at home, following these tips from HomeSquad, one of the best cleaning companies in Dubai may reduce allergens at home.

• Wash blankets and bed linens regularly in hot water.
• Bring down dust-collecting clutter in your home.
• Regularly vacuuming floors and carpets.
• If any of your family members is an allergy sufferer, using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter vacuum can help to trap pollutants, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, etc.
• Vacuum the curtains and clean blinds with a microfiber blind cleaner.
• Keep the kitchen countertop clean and moisture-free.

You can also make the perfect organic household cleaners that won’t irritate allergies from simple ingredients from your kitchen.

From using the commonly found kitchen ingredients like lemon juice to baking soda, you can make a variety of cleaners that are allergy-friendly.

If you are an allergy sufferer, then here are the green cleaners you should know for natural allergy-free cleaning by HomeSquad, one of the best cleaning companies in Dubai.

Vinegar   

Because vinegar is all-natural and biodegradable, it can be one of your best options for an allergy-free green cleaning. Vinegar can be used alone or often combined with other ingredients depending on the task. 

Vinegar is efficient in cutting through grease deposits on grills, stoves, and ovens. The alkaline nature of vinegar easily dissolves soap scum and other dirt. Hence, vinegar is an excellent green cleaning choice for kitchen cleaning and also bathroom cleaning.

It can also remove tea and coffee stains from utensils. Besides, the deodorizing power of vinegar makes it a perfect natural option to eliminate foul smells. However, using vinegar on natural stones like marble may damage its natural shine, says cleaning experts from HomeSquad, one of the best cleaning companies in Dubai.
