The 4 Steps to an Allergy-Proof Home
1. Install a Whole-Home Air Purifier
Purifiers are designed to improve air quality by capturing and killing up to 99 percent of airborne pathogens including dirt, dust, and some viruses and bacteria. You have many different options when it comes to systems, but if you want an allergy-proof home, a whole-home air purifier is your best bet. They integrate with your HVAC units, so you don’t have to think about turning it on—it’s all automatic.
2. Change Your Air Filter Frequently
Your air filter is a simple but powerful tool that can help create an allergy-proof home. It’s able to capture some of the irritating allergens and pollutants that can make allergy symptoms worse. While we usually recommend changing it once every three months, it’s best to replace yours more often during allergy season.
3. Increase the Frequency of Your Cleaning Routine
Cleaning your house more frequently, specifically vacuuming and dusting, can really help to eradicate allergens that make it indoors. So, make it a habit to run that vacuum and dust surfaces at a minimum of once per week. When your allergy symptoms are running high, you may also want to launder your bedding more frequently than normal, too.
4. Keep Windows Closed
While that spring breeze coming through your open windows may feel nice, it’s also bringing pollen into your home. So, when your allergy symptoms really start to flare, it’s best to keep your windows closed as much as possible. When you come inside, be sure to remove shoes and clothing that may have come into contact with allergens while you were out as well.
