Tips For Dealing With Pollen Problems
Summer is the time of allergies. Allergens from weeds and grasses like pollen ruminate in the air to make life torture for those who get itchy eyes and runny noses this time of year. Allergy medications seldom work like they’re advertised, so allergy sufferers are always looking to other methods for relief.
One of the best relief-providing techniques out there is more of a precaution than anything else – you must ensure that you’re not tracking pollen and other allergens into your home with you. Here are some suggestions to keep pollen outside where it belongs:
• If you’re using a fan that brings outside air into your home, then there’s a good chance that pollen is also being sucked in. Without proper filtration, this problem can become even worse.
• While not your home, your car should not be place where you’re suffering from allergies. Keep your windows closed as much as possible, the outside of your car clean and your cabin filter fresh.
• Dust and vacuum your home as often as possible so that there are less allergens around to work their way into vents as well as trigger your allergies.
• Change your clothes after time outside so that you’re not literally carrying pollen around with you.
• Throughout pollen season, dry your laundry indoors so the pollen won’t blow and cling to your clean clothing.
• Keep track of pollen counts – when they’re at their highest, you may consider just staying inside altogether.
• A mowed lawn helps prevent grasses from blooming and thus producing more pollen.
“But what does this have to do with air duct cleaning?” you ask. If you haven’t already drawn your own conclusion, it’s the simply fact that allergens like pollen and other microbes make their way into your home or business and are dispersed through your air conditioning system year-round.
Simply put, if you want these allergens out of your home and your lungs, then you need more than just a surface cleaning – your carpet, air ducts and dryer vents are all potential sources for allergens to congregate. Induct Clean specializes in the deep cleaning of all three, and if you’ve been sneezing indoors lately, it’s time for us to come check out your home or business.
