3 Ways To Allergy-Proof Your Home This Spring

Wash Laundry In Hot Water

During the springtime, those who have allergies, even if it's seasonal allergies, may get it very bad, once spring rolls back around. There are many ways to keep from having allergy attacks, or having your allergies flare up on you.

Within your home, there are many things that you can do, in order to keep your home allergy proof, although nothing is 100% guaranteed.

One of the things you should consider, is washing all your clothing and linens in hot water.

Hot water is the best way to get rid of any dust, allergens, or particles of any kind, and you can ensure that your clothing will be clean and dust free, once they've gone through the wash.

At the very least, wash your bedsheets in hot water, because you sleep in them for a minimum of one week or more, and this means that it's more likely to collect dust and other things, which may affect your allergies.

Keep Your Place Clutter Free

If you have things that are clustered together in your home, you're already making a mistake, because this can end up affecting your allergies. Cluttered items, tend to gather dust easier, and it may end up being a lot of dust, which will eventually affect your allergies.

Even those without allergies, may find themselves sneezing, coughing, and having red, itchy eyes, because of the excessive dust that lingers around cluttered items. One of the worst offenders for clutter, is underneath a bed.

If you know that under your bed is full of excessive items, clean it as soon as possible, and keep your home clutter free as well. The less clutter in your place, the less dust you'll have, and the less likely your allergies are to act up.

Change Filters And Fans

If you haven't changed the filter or fans in your AC unit in a while, then spring time is when you must do it. The filter helps to keep the air clean, by collecting dust, dander, and other particles, which may be affecting your allergies.

If you don't continuously change the filters in your AC unit, then you're going to see a lot more dust around your home. The fans may not need changing as often, but change them as necessary, and make sure to keep them clean, if you see dust collecting on them.
