If you suffer from allergies, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans don’t look forward to spring because it means the return of their allergies. While spring brings with it sunshine, fresh blooms and the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors once again, it also comes with various allergens including pollen as well as mold spores.
Startling Statistics
More than 30 million people experience rhinitis, commonly referred to as "hay fever," every year when spring sets in. Allergies can take the joy out of what should be a happy season, but with the improved air quality of our basement health systems, this doesn’t have to be the case.
Mitigate Symptoms in Your Home
You can enjoy spring all seasons, more by enhancing the air quality in your home, with these handy tips.
- Have your air filters cleaned: Ensure all air filters in your home are cleaned or replaced. This goes for air filters in your air filtration system as well as your Santa Fe dehumidifier. This will ensure that your filtration systems work at optimum efficiency when spring comes around. You can be sure that the air you breathe is free of allergens.
- Deep clean your home: There is a good reason why they call it spring cleaning. Cleaning your home when the seasons are changing over from winter to spring provides you with the opportunity to get rid of allergens that may have gathered over winter. Bust out your vacuum and give your home a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. This will help you get rid of mold, mildew and other allergens that may have been taking root during the cold and damp months of winter.
- Keep your home dry: Just because you’ve given your home a thorough clean doesn’t mean that the mold or mildew can’t reestablish themselves. In fact, mold spores can easily spread and reestablish in a different part of the home. It is therefore best to ensure that the conditions in your home are not conducive for the growth and development. You can keep mold away by investing in a Santa Fe Dehumidifier. This will help to control the moisture levels in your home and help ensure that your home remains dry.
- Invest in mold remediation: If you’ve noticed mold in your home, it is advisable to have your home inspected further. Mold is known to infest the deeper parts of the home and cause havoc without being seen. An inspection will help to identify an infestation. Mold remediation will help to ensure that the entire infestation is caught and removed.
