Tips for Allergy Relief

An air purifier can relieve your worst allergy symptoms

Make your home allergen free.

While your air purifier helps to relieve your worst allergy symptoms, small steps can help to prevent allergens and pollutants from lingering around your home. To help improve the health benefits of an air purifier - you may also consider the following tips:

Always have your air purifier running and windows shut when pollen counts are high.
Shower frequently during allergy season and change your clothes when arriving home, as pollen and other allergens remain in your hair and on your clothes.
Cat and dog allergies can be triggered when pollen and allergens are carried into your home on their coat and paws.

Bathe your animals regularly to reduce your cat and dog allergies.
If pollen counts are high, wipe their paws and coat down as they enter your house to help reduce cat and dog allergies.

Vacuum regularly, and keep your air purifier on while you vacuum.

An air purifier can help filter particles and lingering pollutants sometimes left behind while vacuuming.

Change your bedding frequently and always wash your sheets and pillowcases in hot water.

If you suffer from allergies, it is likely you are also allergic to dust mites.
Keeping your sheets washed and clean helps prevent your bed from becoming a breeding ground for the allergy inducing pests.

In addition to washing your bedding, allergen-resistant slipcovers over your mattresses and pillows can keep dust mites out of your bed.
Wash stuffed animals regularly in hot water to kill dust mites and germs.
While an air purifier filters dust from your home, be sure to continue routine dusting to prevent dust from collecting. If possible, try to limit extra furniture and décor items in your home which collect dust.
Replacing draperies and curtains with wooden or metal blinds can also help keep dust from collecting around your home.
