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.
