Ditch the Pollen: Simple Ways to Allergy-Proof Your Home This Spring
TL;DR
Outdoor pollen can sneak into homes on shoes, clothing, hair, pet fur, and via HVAC or open windows. Experts advise a proactive routine: damp-dust with microfiber, vacuum with a HEPA filter, wash bedding and curtains weekly, wipe window treatments and baseboards, and declutter. Also seal entry points, keep doors/windows closed on high pollen days, use doormats and have people change clothes and shoes at the door, groom pets outdoors, purify the air with HEPA filters, maintain HVAC filtration, and avoid synthetic fragrances that can irritate airways.
