Your Vacuum May Be Aggravating Your Allergies Most people assume their vacuum is making their house cleaner. But in some cases, it could be triggering your allergies. Research from Laval University shows the home cleaning tools can spread allergens throughout your home. Here’s how to properly clean out your vacuum. 1. Always empty before it’s full. Emptying it sooner will keep bacteria from growing in the dust bin. 2. Open windows when vacuuming. This will help push any dirt being blown around the room outside your home. 3. Get a bagged vacuum. These hold much better filtration than<br />bagless vacuums. 4. Change or wash the filter. You want to swap them out about every six months.
