With all the beauty the changing seasons bring, along with it comes a fair amount of misery for allergy sufferers. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to tame the watery eyes, sneezing, and general malaise.
- If you like the cool breeze of open windows, wait till after the morning hours to open them. Many trees release their pollen when daylight hits, so holding off a few hours will help.
- Change your clothes when you walk back in the house from yard work. You’ll be bringing in the outdoors with you, and it’s best to put those in the washer immediately. Leaving your shoes at the door can help too.
- Vacuum often, and use a high-quality vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. They really do make a difference.
- You knew we’d say it…change those filters! Your AC system works best at collecting undesirable particles in the air when it has a clean and fresh filter.
- Consider installing an air purification system. An iWave, for example, will help battle that pesky pollen, dander, and dust in your home (and does it all maintenance free). Call us today to learn more.
