If you have severe allergies or asthma, it’s important to maintain good air quality inside your home. Unfortunately, allergens don’t just exist outdoors. There are several causes of indoor allergens, but there are steps you can take to improve your home’s indoor air quality. Sanks Mechanical offers air quality services that can help you get your indoor allergies under control. Here’s how to control allergies in your home so you can be more comfortable and healthy.
Pollen isn’t the only cause of allergies and asthma. Pet dander, dust, and mold inside your home can contribute to your itchy eyes, sneezing, and coughing. Here are some tips for how to control allergies in your home. If you try some of the tips below and still have issues, you may benefit from installing an air purifier, air scrubber, humidifier, or dehumidifier.
Dust mites are one of the leading causes of indoor allergies. The best way to reduce dust is to maintain an uncluttered living space and eliminate items that collect a lot of dust. Cluttered surfaces trap dust and contribute to poor indoor air quality, so you should eliminate excess knick-knacks if you can’t clean them regularly. Curtains, pillows, and bedding should be washed regularly to remove dust mites. Items that can’t be washed, such as your mattress, should be protected with a plastic cover.
Vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting should be part of your daily cleaning routine. When these tasks are neglected, it’s easy for allergens, dust, and dirt to accumulate and diminish your home’s indoor air quality. Some vacuums can add more dust to the air, so it’s important to choose one that is high-quality and allergy-friendly. Proper cleaning will keep dust levels low and improve your indoor air quality.
If you know you are allergic to pet dander, it’s best not to adopt any pets. However, most people don’t find out about this allergy until after they bring home an adorable new kitten or puppy. Fortunately, you don’t have to part with your pet to keep dander under control. The best thing you can do is keep your pets out of your bedroom so you have an allergen-free place to sleep and relax. You should try to eliminate excess carpet in your home, clean every day, and bathe your pet often.
Mold is one of the most harmful allergens, and it can drastically reduce your home’s indoor air quality. You can prevent mold by using a fan in the bathroom, installing a dehumidifier, repairing leaks, and regularly inspecting your home for mold growth.
Eliminating dust collectors, routine cleaning, and mold prevention can reduce allergens in your home. You can also install an air purifier to enhance your home’s air quality and keep allergies at bay. Contact Sanks today for an estimate on how they can help you with indoor air quality equipment.
