Have you looked into air cleaners or purifiers to make your air healthier to breathe? Consumer Reports told us that people spend more than $500 million dollars a year on these products. Is it time for you to jump on the purifier wagon? Pollen is the most difficult airborne allergen to avoid, but there are still a number of things that you can do to minimize your exposure during pollen season.

Simple Allergen Elimination Tips:
- Avoid open windows, attic fans, or any other unfiltered openings for pollen to get into your home. Instead, run your central air conditioning for air circulation. If you’re torn between your allergies and the desire to open your windows on a pretty day, consider using window screen filters to keep pollen out.
- Replace your air conditioning filters or wash electrostatic filters regularly to help clean pollen out of the air. You can also use vent filters on the room vents to catch anything that might have made it by the air conditioning filter or pollen and other allergens that may have already settled in your air ducts.
- Run a HEPA air cleaner in your bedroom to help eliminate the pollen that makes its way into your home.
- Don’t dry your clothes on an outside line where they can collect pollen. Instead dry them in a vented dryer.
- Outdoor pets are covered in pollen. Wipe them down when you let them indoors and bathe them frequently. You should also avoid letting them track pollen onto your bed.
