Seasonal allergens can make life uncomfortable, especially when they start to creep into your home. By taking a few proactive steps, you can reduce allergens indoors and create a cleaner, healthier environment for your family. Here’s the ultimate guide to keeping allergens under control:
1. Start with a Deep Clean
Begin each season with a thorough cleaning of your entire home. Dust, vacuum, and mop all surfaces, paying extra attention to hidden areas where allergens can accumulate, such as behind furniture, in vents, and along baseboards.
2. Keep Windows and Doors Closed
Pollen can easily enter your home through open windows and doors. When allergen levels are high, it’s best to keep them closed and rely on air conditioning to filter the air and maintain a comfortable temperature.
3. Regularly Replace Air Filters
Air filters trap dust, pollen, and other airborne allergens, but they can only do their job if they’re clean. Replace or clean filters in your HVAC system every 1-3 months to ensure they’re functioning at their best.
4. Wash Bedding and Curtains Often
Dust mites and pet dander tend to cling to fabrics, so wash bedding, and curtains, and throw blankets regularly in hot water. This will help reduce allergens in rooms where you spend a lot of time, especially bedrooms.
5. Invest in an Air Purifier
An air purifier with a HEPA filter can capture up to 99.97% of particles, including allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander. Place one in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or bedroom, for optimal air quality.
