Fall Allergy Triggers: Easy Tips To Keep Them Out Of Your Home
by Dan D. Owner and marketing manager at Sparky Carpet Clean
For most people living with allergies, symptoms such as
watery eyes, eczema, dry skin, hives, asthma, sneezing, itchy or a runny nose,
the arrival of fall is typically considered the real onset of major allergy
season. These allergies are triggered by the growth of outdoor molds under
fallen leaves, the release of pollen into the air by weeds and other plants,
changing foliage, and cooler weather.
According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and
Immunology, over 23 million Americans are allergic to pollen grains commonly
released by Ragweed from August to November. Other triggers that can wreak
havoc with allergies include outdoor molds and weeds which are rampant in fall.
If fall allergies have been hiding out in your home, here are some valuable
allergy management tips you can use to re-enjoy the great outdoors.
How to manage fall allergies
Typically, people spend more time indoors with windows
closed during fall due to the shorter days and frequent drop in temperatures.
As a result of this, they tend to expose themselves more to indoor allergens,
such as indoor mold and dust mites.
In a bid to escape the cooler weather, dust mites find
their way into homes and hide in the most comfortable places such as carpet,
beds, and other furniture. Fortunately, it is good to know that you can
effectively manage your fall allergies and return to enjoying your life again.
Here are some easy tips to keep fall allergy triggers out of your home.
Ensure regular cleaning of your home
You can significantly reduce the amount of dust, dirt or
any other fall allergy trigger in your home by ensuring regular cleaning. This
will go a long way in preventing the growth and spread of allergens in the
home. One of the areas in the home that requires adequate and regular cleaning
is the carpet. This emphasizes the need of quality carpet cleaning services
that cannot be shortchanged for any other cleaning task. Check your furniture
(such as sofa, upholstery chairs, tables, shelves etc.), curtains, slabs, and
other hideous areas where these allergens can stay and survive.
Wear protective clothing
If you must go outside, protect yourself. Prevent pollen
from getting into your eyes, hair and resting on your skin by wearing
protective sunglasses, a hat, pants and long sleeves. It’s recommended you wear
a protective face mask particularly when you are engaged in an activity that
can stir up pollen and mold such as mowing and raking the yard.
Deep clean your carpets
One of the best ways to get rid of pollen from the home
is to perform an effective carpet cleaning Baton Rouge. As a matter of fact, a
deep clean can help to expose the buildup of dirt and dust in your rugs. This
kind of situation is prevalent in bedrooms, dining rooms, and sitting rooms.
Effective cleaning can be achieved with the use of a high-performance vacuum
cleaner.
For a more professional cleaning and effective
eradication of fall allergy triggers from the home consider hiring an expert in carpet cleaning Baton Rouge.
