Vacuum and dust your home twice as often during spring allergy season. Now no one is going to criticize your housekeeping. The suggestion to vacuum and dust twice as often is an excellent one to offer you additional relief from pollen, dust and other irritants that get trapped in your rugs, floors and other places especially in high-traffic areas. Remember that every time you come in and out of your home is an ideal time for pollen to enter. Each time your pet goes inside and outside, pollen often is carried in on their coat. While you may not see the pollen each time, this pollen can cause you trouble. By removing as much as possible you are helping your air filter to work even better. You are removing the larger pollen, dust and other irritants so your air filter can work on what is unseen and still affects you deeply. This means your air filter can focus on doing its job instead of trying to absorb so much pollen it feels like it is doing the work of two or three air filters!

Check your air filter regularly to make sure it does not need to be changed. During springtime’s pollen filled season, your air filter may need to be changed far quicker than at another time. By checking the air filter you’ll be prepared ahead of time instead of surprised when the air filter does need to be changed. This is very helpful to your family and loved ones. It is ideal that you try to check your air filter once a week or every other week. Just look at it and see how much dirt or pollen you see absorbed on the filter. This can tell you often if you need a different filter. In some areas you’ll see a great deal of pollen or other allergens during springtime. Taking the time to do this can cause you to avoid needless suffering and make springtime much easier for you and your family.
