Tips for Reducing Allergies this Spring


March 15, 2023


Springtime brings warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and seasonal allergies for millions of people. The increase in pollen, mold and other irritants in the air can cause sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes that can impact your quality of life.

But fear not, allergy sufferers! With some simple strategies and preventative measures, you can reduce your allergy symptoms and start enjoying the beauty of spring. In this blog post, we will discuss top tips for decreasing allergies this season so you can breathe easy and make the most of this rejuvenating time of year.

Keep Your Home Clean and Free of Allergens

One of the best ways to reduce your allergy symptoms is to create a clean and allergy-free environment in your home. This includes regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum to remove dust mites, pollen, and other allergens from your carpets and upholstery. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces and reduce the buildup of allergens. And don’t forget to keep windows and doors closed to prevent pollen and other outdoor allergens from entering your home.

Watch The Pollen Count and Plan Accordingly

One of the most effective ways to avoid seasonal allergy symptoms is to limit your exposure to allergens. Keep an eye on the daily pollen count in your area, which is usually reported by local news outlets or available online.

On high pollen count days, try to stay indoors as much as possible, especially during peak times (typically mid-morning to early evening). If you must be outside, consider wearing a pollen mask to help filter out allergens and protect your respiratory system.

Get Your Air Ducts Cleaned

Your duct system can either help or hinder your fight against seasonal allergies. Regularly getting your air ducts cleaned can help reduce allergens in your home. Additionally, consider investing in an air purifier to help clean the air in your home and reduce your allergy symptoms.
