Allergens in your home
Allergens can build up within your home. Regular cleaning and improving indoor air quality can lead to a more hygienic home.
-
Pollen
Spring and summer are the seasons where flowers come to bloom and tree pollen is released into the atmosphere. The levels of pollen count increase over the warmer months.
-
Dust
Household dust is made up of bacteria, mould and skin cells. Moving around your home disturbs settled dust, which can stay airborne for 30 minutes.
-
Pet dander
Pet dander contains hair, microscopic skin flakes and saliva. These particles are either made up of or carry proteins that can be allergenic, that can easily stick to furniture, bedding, upholstery and are small enough to linger in the air.
-
Mould
Mould allergens can be under 10 microns and can be found in soils, leaf and plant litter, decaying food, textiles, and in window frames and refrigerators.
Whole-home cleaning
Clean the surfaces and the air in your home to keep allergens at bay. Dyson vacuum cleaners were designed to pick up microscopic particles from hard floors. And, air purifiers capture and remove ultrafine particles and allergens from the air, before they settle.
-
Dyson purifiers
Dyson purifiers combine intelligent sensing with advanced HEPA H13 and activated carbon filtration that captures gases and 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns.
-
Dyson vacuum cleaners
Dyson cordless vacuums are engineered for whole-home, deep cleans. With a filtration system that captures allergens and seals in 99.99% of microscopic particles to 0.3 microns.
Frequently asked questions
An allergy-friendly vacuum, approved by Allergy UK, can make life more comfortable for people living with allergy. These machines pick up microscopic allergen particles and fine dust in the home and often feature de-tangling technology to remove hair. Our latest Dyson V15 Detect™ cordless vacuum gives scientific proof of a deep clean and is engineered to reveal, capture, and trap the dirt and hair left by people and pets. Our latest pioneering vacuum technology comes with fully-sealed or whole-machine filtration. So allergen particles remain trapped, and you cannot breathe them in.
Dyson vacuum filters are engineered to trap microscopic particles and allergens. Our sophisticated filtration system captures 99.99% of allergens as small as 0.3 microns² – and expels clean air. HEPA filtration goes a step further and the standard demands not only for the final post-motor filter in a vacuum to be HEPA-grade, but every single filter and seal throughout the machine. HEPA filtration is available on the Dyson V15 Detect™ vacuum and traps 99.97 per cent of microscopic particles and allergens as small as 0.1 microns.¹
If pet hair and allergens are a problem for you, it’s recommended to use a vacuum with extra strong suction power, and to vacuum your home on a regular basis. Don’t allow dust, pet hair and dander to accumulate. It’s also important to vacuum your mattress and upholstery. Thanks to new, unique technology, Dyson cordless vacuums can detect and pick up even the tiniest dust particles and hair.
