Tips and Tricks for Allergy Relief
- Check the pollen count and smog levels and avoid going outside when they are high.
- Keep your doors and windows closed and use an air purifier.
- Clean air filters in your home and car often.
- Dust bookshelves, vents, and other places where pollen collects.
- Wash bedding and rugs in hot water to get rid of dust mites and other allergens.
- Keep the humidity in your house between 30% and 50% so dust mites can’t thrive.
