Once more, allergies have arrived.
There are numerous types of allergies and irritations. including pet dander, grass, dust, pollen, grass, and mold spores. In order to prevent them from accumulating or entering your home during the warmer months, you must stop them from doing so.
Avoid pollen getting in
For many Australians, pollen is one of their most common allergens. You might want to think about how you might be bringing this common allergy trigger into your home if you suffer from it.
Try to avoid going outside in the morning hours, especially if it’s a dry, hot day as this could indicate a high pollen count day. Pollen is typically released from plants between 5am and 10am every day.
Through open windows, doors, and even your clothing, pollen can enter a building. When you get home, think about changing your clothes or taking a shower. If the day has been particularly pollen-heavy, avoid hanging clothes to dry outside.
Purifying the air
If there is insufficient moisture, pet dander, pollen, and other allergen particles may spread more readily in the air. Consider using an air purifier to help filter out these nasty contaminants. Most air purifiers can remove over 99 per cent of airborne allergens, and those with a HEPA filter can capture particles as small as 0 points 3 microns.

Upgrading your vacuum cleaner
Vacuuming reduces allergens, especially in carpeted areas where dust can accumulate more quickly. As more dead skin cells will be present there and perhaps even where dust mites will be drawn to, you should also focus on the areas where you sit and sleep. To reduce dust, pollen, skin cells, and dust mite droppings, aim to vacuum up to twice per week.

De-humidifying
High humidity is a serious problem that can promote the growth of mould and mildew as well as dust mites, so do you experience damp air in your home, especially during the warmer, more humid months of the year? By condensing and removing moisture from the air, a dehumidifier reduces the humidity in the air. On those sweltering Australian summer days, it will aid in the fight against damp problems and improve the comfort level in your home.

Keep your heating and cooling fans clean
Filters in your exhaust fans and air conditioner should be changed or cleaned on a regular basis. The accumulation of dust and mould can produce unpleasant odours and trigger allergies. The frequency should be as directed by the manufacturer. The removal of any additional dust from ceiling, standalone, and ventilation fans is also crucial to take into account.
