Simple Tips for Allergy Relief
By admin
As we head into allergy season, here are some simple tips to relieve some of the severity of the symptoms.
1. Change and clean heating and cooling system filters at least once a month. In addition, buy some of the better rated filters on the market. A cheap filter will yield the same screening efficiency when brand new than a good filter that is 3 months old.
2. Wash curtains, sheets, blankets and pillow cases as much as possible. Your dust mite friends may not like it but you’ll feel much better all summer long.
3. Remove waste from your home as quickly as possible. Organisms that trigger allergy symptoms love old garbage. If you take out the trash once or twice a day, those organisms will find a new home.
4. Keep surfaces dry and clean and watch for pipes that sweat. Wet areas under sinks are favorite breeding grounds for mold.
5. Keep your pets clean. Your dog may appear annoyed when you bathe him but better that than you sniffling all year long. Rover may just like it. For felines, take them in the back yard and brush them with a special brush made especially for the Cat in the Hat.
Have a great summer!
