Spring Cleaning
With powerful chemicals and strong odors, plus dust mites flying around, it’s no wonder some children’s sensory issues are significantly worse when the house is cleaned. When you’re doing your spring cleaning this year, try the following:
- Polish furniture with olive oil mixed with vinegar.
- Use baking soda to deodorize carpeting, refrigerators, cat litter boxes, and garbage pails.
- Use baking soda with soap or vinegar to scour tubs, stovetops, ovens, and pots and pans.
- Use vinegar to clean windows and mirrors.
- Clean silver with toothpaste.
- Look into purchasing a HEPA air filtration system and a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.
- Always use a damp mop or sponge to pick up dust bunnies to avoid dispersing irritants.
