Allergic Nose

Allergy-proofing your house is as easy as A-B-C...and D!

Controlling allergens where you live is an important part of your treatment, and it doesn't have to be a hassle. A little housecleaning and a few changes of habit can make a big difference. The following tips will help to eliminate some of the allergens in each room of your home.

AIR QUALITY

• Get an air purifier

• Keep windows closed and the air
  conditioning on in the summer to avoid
  pollen and airborne mold spores

• Leave doors open between rooms to
  maximize airflow inside and minimize dust
  and mold

• Place filters over forced-air vents and
  change regularly, as well as cooling-
  and heating-system filters

• Install a fan to keep the bathroom
  well-ventilated

• Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity under 50% - dust mites and molds love dampness

• Clean the dehumidifier's reservoir every day

ALLERGIC TO WORK?

The same tips you follow in your home can also be applied to the work area

• Keep your work area as uncluttered as possible

• Dust your work area regularly with a damp cloth

• Move plants away to avoid exposure to mold

• Use an air purifier

• Stay away from cigarette smoke and perfume
