Deep cleaning our home frequently is important. Not only am I allergic to a long list of items, but we have three shedding dogs to clean up after. After this long, frigid winter of the house being locked up tightly, a thorough cleaning is an absolute must. Sponsored post, all opinions are my own.

About Chem-Dry

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning service. Founded in 1977, they have locations in 47 countries and serve over 10,000 homes per day worldwide. Unlike other services, the company uses a proprietary hot carbonating extraction cleaning process. This process delivers a deeper clean by harnessing the power of millions of microscopic bubbles. The brand’s primary cleaning solution, The Natural, is green-certified and is safe and non-toxic for kids and pets. Chem-Dry is healthier than typical steam cleaning because their system uses 80 percent less water. This allows the carpet to dry within one to two hours instead of one to days. This means less risk of water build-up that creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew.

Deep Cleaning Tips to Reduce Allergens

There are so many things you can do when it comes to deep cleaning your home. Here are a few things that seem to get overlooked.

  • Keep Windows Shut – As much as I want to air this place out, the Spring air brings in a whole new batch of allergens. It’s better to keep the air conditioner running and use a HEPA filter if your home contains allergy-sufferers.
  • Bathe Pets Regularly – Keeping your pets extra clean can help control their dander and the allergens they track in from the outdoors. They should be banned from bedrooms, too, but that’s definitely not happening over here. Our dogs sleep with us, so cleaning the bed is a frequent task, as well.
  • Replace or Clean your Window Treatments – Make a habit of cleaning window treatments. Replacing them is a quicker fix. This is something we need to do desperately. Our blinds are ancient and who knows what kinds of allergens they are holding onto.
  • Keep Carpets, Rugs, and Upholstered Furniture Clean – Vacuuming and cleaning rugs and carpet is a given, but what about the furniture? Don’t forget to detail your furniture. Chem-Dry’s cleaning process is ideal for cleaning upholstered furniture, eliminating allergens and other unhealthy particles.

Is your home due for a deep cleaning?

    Oh, yes, my house could use a very deep cleaning. No allergies, but still….

    We are planning to get rid of our carpet now that our kids are bigger. Underneath our carpet is a good quality hardwood floor so we are going to uncover that.

    Wow! I never knew there was so much my ‘usual’ cleaning wasn’t removing from the fibers in my carpet, yuck! I think Spring is the perfect time to look into a deep cleaning for allergen reduction!

    I HATE our carpet…I hate carpets in general! Most of the time I don’t even want to think about what’s lurking in there! We are in need of a good deep cleaning!

    I can’t wait until I move and no more carpet. Great cleaning tips, though I do love opening up windows once its warm enough outside. I often have to replace my blinds because my fat cats always break them lol

    OMG, I just realized how our house needs deep cleaning as well! I wanted to have our carpets cleaned and the walls too!

    You post reminded me that it is that time of the year when we have to have our carpets completely cleaned. Thanks for sharing your post 🙂

    Oh my that is super gross! I am afraid to sleep in my bed tonight! Gross! I am so glad we got rid of our carpet downstairs!

    We could definitely use a good deep cleaning, but I don’t think it is going to happen soon enough. Your tips for reducing allergens are fantastic though! Thank you so much!

    I could use all the help I can get! I would love to spring clean with their products.

    I could use a good spring cleaning! I have heard great things about Chem Dry before.

    Thanks for sharing. I’m allergic to something in my home and I’ll try your deep cleaning methods. I’ve been here 11 months and have been sick off and on the entire time. My walls are pine and I’m allergic to pine trees so I think that is my biggest obstacle but I’ll deep clean to be sure.

    What a great amount of info! I have to get my carpets done this spring. We have allergies here and I know how important that is. Fun contest too…entering now and thank you!

  14. Beth says

    Our home could certainly use a deep clean! My allergies have been driving me crazy since we moved in a month ago!

    My house could definitely use a deep cleaning especially since I’m allergic. Chem Dry looks like a great product. Great sweepstake as well.

    Oh God, *shudders* that’s so, so gross. It makes me glad that we’re completely carpet free in this household….for that reason, actually. I’m a germaphobe so these kinds of posts just remind me of all of the things that make my skin crawl. In fact, I’m going to throw out my frequently washed pillows hahaha

    These are awesome facts indeed. I and my kids have allergies to dust mites as well as the droppings which I don’t like to think about. It is so important to keep the carpets clean and to always change your bedding. I am for sure going to be trying Chem Dry. Thanks for sharing.

  18. Rosey says

    March 10, 2015 at 7:12 am

    The information on the mites is disturbing. Interesting but disturbing nonetheless. 😉

    Thank you for sharing, I needed some tips in this department. I really should make some deeper cleaning in my flat.

    I actually just got done my Spring Deep cleaning. =) Those facts are pretty scary and yucky. I never even knew all of that. Thanks for sharing that info.

    I’ve seen statistics like this before. They sure do make a good argument for giving your home a deep cleaning!

  22. Yona Williams says

    March 10, 2015 at 6:40 pm

    All of your dust mite-related tips just had me gag a bit. I am not going to be able to look at my pillow the same again.

  23. Marielle Altenor says

    March 10, 2015 at 9:59 pm

    Very good tips! I’ve been living with dust allergies pretty much all my life so I know how important it is to keep surface clean.

    Good spring cleaning ideas.

    Thanks Jennifer for the tips. I am very allergic to dust. This is the reason why my husband is the one who cleans the house 🙂
