How to Keep Allergies Out of Your House (Indianapolis Allergy Season Tips)

Spring in Indianapolis brings sunshine, blooms—and a whole lot of sneezing. Pollen counts soar, windows fly open, and every surface seems coated in a light yellow film. If your home’s making you sniffle, it’s time for an allergy-fighting clean.

At The Dust Devils, we help homeowners across Indy—from Broad Ripple to Irvington—reduce allergens and breathe easier. Here’s how to clean smarter this spring:

1. Dust with the Right Tools

Dry dusting just moves allergens around. Use damp microfiber cloths to trap and remove dust on surfaces like shelves, fans, and baseboards.

2. Don’t Forget the Vents

Dirty air vents spread allergens room to room. Remove and vacuum registers, then wipe down with a gentle cleaner.

3. Wash Bedding Weekly

Dust mites love pillows and mattresses. Wash sheets in hot water weekly and consider allergen-proof covers for pillows.

4. Vacuum Frequently (with a HEPA filter)

A good vacuum with HEPA filtration traps pollen, pet dander, and dust instead of blowing it back into the air.

5. Take Off Your Shoes

Shoes bring pollen and pollutants inside. Set up a shoe station near your entryway to contain the mess.

The Dust Devils’ Pro Tip:
If you have pets, wipe their paws after walks—especially during peak allergy weeks in Indy.
