7 Ways to Reduce Home Allergens

As we enter into spring, many of us are looking forward to warmer weather and blooming flowers.

However, with the change in season comes the increased likelihood of allergies. For those who suffer from allergies, it can be a real struggle to find relief, especially when spending time indoors. Viccarone HVAC understands the importance of creating a comfortable and healthy home environment. Here are some ways to reduce home allergens that can help keep your home healthy and comfortable:

1. Dust smartly: When dusting your home, it is important to clean from top to bottom to prevent dust from settling on surfaces that have already been cleaned. Use microfiber cloths instead of feather dusters to avoid spreading dust and other particles into the air.
2. Wash and change out pillowcases often: Bedding can harbor a lot of allergens, so it is important to wash your sheets and pillowcases regularly. You may also want to consider using allergen-proof covers on your pillows and mattresses.
3. Limit outside pollen in the spring: Unfortunately, keeping pollen out of your home can be difficult. To reduce the amount of pollen that enters your home, keep your windows and doors closed during peak pollen times, and remove your shoes when you enter your home.
4. Vacuum carpets and rugs properly: Vacuuming your carpets and rugs regularly can help reduce allergens in your home. However, it is important to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture the smallest particles. Additionally, be sure to vacuum slowly and use overlapping strokes to ensure you are picking up as much dust and dirt as possible.
5. Clean LVT floors properly: If you have luxury vinyl tile (LVT) floors in your home, it is important to clean them regularly to remove any dust or dirt that may have settled on them. Use a damp mop to avoid spreading dust and other particles into the air.
6. Change your HVAC filters: One of the easiest ways to reduce allergens in your home is to regularly change your HVAC filters. This will prevent dust, pollen, and other particles from circulating throughout your home.
7. Consider the iWave-R: Viccarone HVAC offers a product called the iWave-R, which is designed to help improve indoor air quality. This product uses patented technology to reduce allergens, odors, and other particles in the air. It is easy to install and requires no maintenance.
