7 Tips to Allergy-Proof Your Home
Keep allergy triggers out of your house by following these simple tips.
Sniffling and sneezing at this time of year? If so, you’re certainly not alone. Spring allergies, also called hay fever, affect more than one-quarter of adults and nearly one-fifth of children in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s a lot of seasonal misery.
While you may have read up on ways to prevent allergies when you’re outdoors, surrounded by all the budding flowers, trees and grasses, it’s also helpful to know what you can do inside your own home to make you more comfortable. After all, many allergens live in your home and can keep you feeling lousy even after you’ve come indoors.
Allergy-proofing your home will not only help reduce the number of seasonal allergens that cause symptoms to flare, but these tips will also help you rid your home of other common allergy triggers, such as dust, mites, mold and dander.
