Spring Is Beautiful—But Also Allergy Season
There’s so much to love about spring in Boston—flowers blooming, warmer temperatures, and longer days. But for allergy sufferers, this season can be tough. Boston pollen counts are at their highest from March to June, triggering sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. The key to relief? A well-maintained, dust-free home.
If you feel like your allergies are worse this year, you’re not alone. Pollen levels in Boston tend to peak in spring, especially with tree pollen. Keeping an eye on the Boston pollen forecast can help you plan your day and reduce exposure to allergens.
If you have seasonal allergies, keeping windows open might not be ideal, as it lets in pollen and dust. Instead, rely on HVAC systems or air conditioning, but make sure to clean and replace HVAC filters regularly. Dirty filters trap allergens, making symptoms worse. A clean ventilation system is essential for good indoor air quality.
To reduce allergens, use microfiber cloths, a Swiffer Duster, and a simple DIY anti-dust spray (water, mild soap, and a drop of olive oil or baby oil). Unlike regular dusters, microfiber cloths trap dust instead of spreading it around.
Spring Cleaning Recipe to Reduce Dust:
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of mild liquid soap
1 teaspoon of olive oil or baby oil
Mix and spray lightly on surfaces before wiping with a microfiber cloth. This small step can make a big difference in keeping your home allergen-free.
Carpets, sofas, and mattresses collect dust, pollen, and dead skin cells, making them a major source of allergens. Even with regular vacuuming, they require deep cleaning—especially in spring in Boston, when allergens are at their highest.

We introduced this service after noticing that many of our clients needed help improving their indoor air quality. Whether it’s carpets, sofas, or mattresses, a proper deep clean can make a world of difference for allergy sufferers
