Constant runny nose

For the past 2 months, I've had a runny nose. At first I thought it was a cold, but then I didn't get any symptoms other than that. From what I have noticed more recently (now that I'm not considering it as a cold), it tends to be worse when I'm at work (I work as a cleaner) and I only started this job two months ago, but I have no symptoms of allergy either rolleyes

I'm not really allergic to anything (that I know of) so I can't see how this could be an allergic reaction to something, as I surely would have come across the materials of the tabbard (basically like an apron but on both sides) and cloths before without any problem.

I'm really confused, any suggestions?

    it's seems pretty straight forward. You say your symptosm started about two months ago and that's when you started a cleaning job. You're most likley allergic to dust.

    I get runny nose every time I clean my house. 

    I'd suggest to try to vacuum with a dust mask on. If it doesn't help, you might need to consider another job. Rather than trying all kind of nasal sprays. Best treatment for allergies is to avoid the allergens.

      Sorry for the very late reply. I don't think it is dust as it comes on very randomly and I don't tend to get it when I'm cleaning dust. Today it came on randomly after just walking down the stairs at work. Then later at home it was much worse till I got upstairs. For a period of time it went away (a week or two) but then it came back again sad
