Reduce Allergens Inside of Your Home

It’s officially allergy season! If you or your family struggle with allergies, there are some steps you can take to reduce allergens inside of your home. With so many allergens outdoors, wouldn’t it be nice to create a more comfortable space indoors? Here are a few tips to get you started.

Change Air Filters Frequently

Your heating and air conditioning units circulate air throughout your home. It therefore can also circulate allergens! To reduce allergens inside of your home, purchase a good quality filter and change it frequently. Modern filters help capture pollen, dust, and other substances, keeping your indoor air clean.  When buying a filter, read the specifications for details on its performance. Some have better filtration but can require more energy. If you are unsure what your HVAC system can handle, contact a heating specialist for advice and assistance.

Choose Wood Floors Over Carpeting

Carpeting can trap dust, pollen, and other materials. During allergy season, it may be helpful to put area rugs into storage and show off your beautiful hardwood floors instead. For wall-to-wall carpeting, vacuum frequently and invest in a vacuum cleaner with a good HEPA filter. In fact, dusting, mopping, and vacuuming frequently can help reduce build-up of allergens in your home.

Change Shoes and Clothes

Most allergens enter your home by hitching a ride on you! You certainly don’t want to avoid going outdoors, but you can reduce allergens inside of your home by being conscious of this. Take off your shoes at the door rather than wearing them throughout your home. Change your clothes promptly after spending time outdoors. Another tip is take a shower before going to bed. This will rinse allergens from your hair and skin, keeping your bedding cleaner. Speaking of bedding, frequent laundering is also advised, even if you don’t suffer from allergies!
