If you suffer from seasonal air-borne allergies, then you definitely don’t want to bring those problems into your house with you. Your home should be a refuge from the pollens, dust, and other pesky allergens that make your life miserable; yet many sufferers find that they are still experiencing problems within their own four walls. Here are 3 easy ways to reduce air-borne allergies at home.

1. Rethink your air filters

All air that is blown into your home thanks to your air conditioning and heating vents must first pass through the air filters. Even if you have anti-allergen filters, it is hard to remember to buy new ones and replace them when you are supposed to. By installing an electrostatic filter, you will never have to buy another filter again. All you have to do is periodically hose down these metal filters, put them back in your unit, and you’re fully protected again.

2. Have your vents cleaned twice a year

Even with an electrostatic filter, some dust and allergens might still get through. Having your vents professionally cleaned on a regular basis will prevent unwanted debris from blowing through your house.

3. Close your windows

Yes, it’s hard to keep your windows closed when the weather is beautiful outside, but every time you open them you will be leaving yourself vulnerable to allergen attack. Pay attention to the air quality index reports for your area, and when pollen levels are high keep your windows shut: this simple act will make a huge difference.

Dust and allergens will always be with us, but you have more control over their effects than you think. By following the 3 tips listed above, you will sneeze less, drip less, and enjoy a much better overall quality of life.
