Allergy Friendly\u00ae <\/strong>cleaning products and maintaining an effective cleaning routine can significantly improve indoor air quality (IAQ), helping to reduce allergens and potentially harmful chemicals that can trigger asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and other health concerns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019ll explore how effective cleaning products and whole-home solutions (from surface cleaners and detergents to vacuums, HVAC filters, air purifiers and whole home air cleaners) can impact IAQ, why choosing science-backed products is an important step toward a healthier indoor environment and, we will introduce our Certified cleaning product partners.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Cleaning Matters for Better Indoor Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spend the majority of our time indoors, so the quality of the air we breathe at home is essential to our health. Poor IAQ can be caused by common allergens like dust mite allergen, pet dander, and pollen, as well as chemicals from cleaning products. For individuals with asthma or allergies, exposure to these airborne pollutants can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing. But even for those without respiratory conditions, long-term exposure to poor IAQ can lead to headaches, fatigue, and other health issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing allergens and avoiding harmful chemicals in cleaning products can improve IAQ and create a healthier environment for everyone in the home. This is especially important when you consider that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/indoor-air-quality-iaq\/inside-story-guide-indoor-air-quality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a090% of dust in homes contains harmful chemicals, including flame retardants, and that indoor air pollutant levels can be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels,<\/a>\u00a0sometimes even exceeding them by 100 times during certain activities.<\/p>\n<h3>How Effective Cleaning Routines Affect Indoor Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining a regular cleaning routine is fundamental for improving IAQ by eliminating dirt, dust, and allergens that accumulate on surfaces. Cleaning for health, not just appearance, is key.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular dusting with a moist cloth helps remove dust and allergens from hard surfaces without redistributing them into the air. Vacuuming with a validated high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter is also essential for reducing allergens from carpets and floors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper ventilation is important during and after cleaning to ensure harmful chemicals and particles don\u2019t remain in the air. Following the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for cleaning products can also help avoid the release of pollutants caused by chemical reactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to regular cleaning, preventing mold growth is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. Mold can thrive in damp environments, making it essential to remove any mold-damaged materials and thoroughly clean areas affected by mold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing clutter is another important step, as clutter can harbor dust and allergens, making cleaning more difficult and allowing particles to become airborne. By decluttering and organizing your space, you make it easier to clean effectively and reduce potential allergens in your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complementing regular routines, whole-home solutions such as Certified vacuums, HVAC filters, air purifiers and whole home air cleaners also play an important role in capturing and removing allergens and pollutants from the air, helping to maintain cleaner indoor environments over time.<\/p>\n<h3>How Cleaning Products Impact Indoor Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning products can impact IAQ in two main ways: through the removal or redistribution of allergens and through the release of chemicals, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Allergen Removal<\/strong>: Cleaning products remove allergens from surfaces such as countertops, floors, and fabrics. <em>Effective<\/em> products capture and remove allergens without sending them back into the air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Chemical Emissions<\/strong>: Many cleaning products release VOCs into the air, which can contribute to poor indoor air quality. VOCs are chemicals that easily become gases and can lead to both short and long-term health effects.<\/p>\n<h3>Hard Surface Cleaning Products<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hard surface cleaning products are commonly used to clean areas such as kitchen counters, bathrooms, and floors. However, not all cleaning products are created equal in terms of their impact on IAQ. The\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae <\/strong>Certification Program certifies hard surface cleaning products that meet stringent standards to ensure they are a more suitable choice for those with asthma and allergies, making them also a wise choice for better indoor air for the whole family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0Certification, hard surface cleaning products must meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Allergen Removal: The product must remove over 85% of allergens from hard surfaces, ensuring that allergens like dust mite debris, pet dander, and pollen are effectively removed.<\/li>\n<li>Air Quality: The product must clean surfaces without increasing the amount of allergen and dust in the air above certification thresholds, ensuring that allergens are removed rather than redistributed.<\/li>\n<li>Ingredient Review: All ingredients in the product are reviewed to ensure that any sensitizing chemicals are either not present or present at levels low enough not to cause concern.<\/li>\n<li>VOC Emissions: The product\u2019s VOC emissions must be below the certification limits, ensuring minimal impact on IAQ.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By choosing a hard surface cleaning product that is Certified\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae,<\/strong>\u00a0you can have peace of mind knowing that the product has been rigorously tested for both allergen removal and chemical levels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-402177 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic explaining how hard surface cleaning products are certified asthma &amp; allergy friendly\u00ae through allergen removal, air quality protection, ingredient review, and VOC emissions testing.\" width=\"1065\" height=\"747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-200x140.jpg 200w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-400x281.jpg 400w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-600x421.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-800x561.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asthma-allergy-friendly-hard-surface-cleaning-certification.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1065px) 100vw, 1065px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Laundry Detergents<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laundry detergents also play a crucial role in indoor air quality, especially as fabrics can trap allergens like dust mite allergen and pet dander. The\u00a0<strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0Certification Program subjects laundry detergents to biological, physical, and chemical testing to ensure they are effective in reducing allergens without contributing to poor IAQ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certified laundry detergents are tested for the following:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Allergen and Dust Removal: Laundry detergents are assessed for their ability to remove allergens from fabrics. This involves testing fabrics seeded with allergen-containing dust and comparing them to unwashed controls to ensure significant allergen reduction post-washing.<\/li>\n<li>Ingredient Review: The chemicals used in the laundry detergent are carefully reviewed to ensure they are non-sensitizing and non-allergenic.<\/li>\n<li>VOC Emissions: Laundry detergents are tested in an environmentally controlled chamber to measure the VOCs released over a 14-day period. Certification requires VOC levels to remain below strict certification limits.<\/li>\n<li>Post-wash Analysis: After washing, the levels of any residual allergenic, irritant, or banned chemicals left on the fabric must be either not present or at low enough levels not to be of concern.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-402175 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic showing how laundry detergent qualifies for Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae Certification through allergen removal, ingredient review, VOC emissions testing, and post-wash analysis.\" width=\"1119\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-200x138.jpg 200w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-400x276.jpg 400w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-600x414.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-800x553.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Detergent-new-testing-infographic.jpg 1119w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Handheld Dusters<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handheld dusting products and wipes are another cleaning tool that can influence indoor air quality.
