Allergies are one of the most common diseases. It is difficult to meet a person who is not familiar with allergies personally or without knowing allergic people. Causes of this disease can be completely unexpected, and sometimes the danger can wait at home. Household dust and many seemingly harmless microorganisms are troublesome and often lead to allergy exacerbations, so proper cleaning can help allergy sufferers avoid discomfort at home.

Doctors recommend starting allergy prevention with a change in the interior:
- Get rid of bulky decorations. Curtains, rugs, fabric tablecloths, bedspreads and various decorations accumulate a lot of dust on the surface, and it is difficult to clean and wash them regularly. Curtains should be replaced by blinds, and a variety of floor coverings will help to find a decent replacement for the carpets.
- Use cabinets. Closing cabinets will solve the problem of excessive dust accumulation on clothes, books and souvenirs.
- Ensure air movement. Good ventilation will keep your home air clean.
- Periodically get rid of unnecessary things. Unused furniture, forgotten accessories and unnecessary decorations make it very difficult to clean and accumulate a lot of dust and germs.
