Allergy flare-ups are often attributed to the allergens outside your front door. However, did you know that the same allergens are found on surfaces inside 75 million homes across America? According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), some of the most common indoor allergens, include dust mites, mold and household pets.
Some easy ways to reduce allergy suffering in the home include:
· Reduce Pet Dander - Decrease your exposure to pet dander by keeping your pet out of your bedroom, since this is typically the room in which people spend a majority of their time.
· Wrap Things Up - Put fabric covers over common dust mite hideouts such as pillows, mattresses and sofa cushions and wash bedding often.
· Clear the Air - Prevent pollen from entering your home by keeping windows and doors closed during peak allergy season.
· Air filters are also considered useful for helping clear the air of lingering allergens triggers.
· Wipe Down Surfaces - Be sure to frequently clean hard surfaces to get rid of allergens in your home. Use LYSOL Disinfecting Wipes to remove 90% of pollen particles and dust mite debris, in addition to killing 99.9% of illness-causing bacteria. Also use LYSOL Disinfectant Spray to kill the source of mold allergens on hard, non-porous surfaces.
· Avoid Mold Spores - To help reduce mold: use an air conditioner in humid climates and avoid the use of humidifiers in dry climates. Also, run the bathroom fan or open the window when showering.
· Talk to Your Doctor - It is important to talk to your doctor about whether or not allergy testing, medications, and/or other measures are recommended.

we usually keep the windows closed to keep outdoor allergens out
We keep blankets on the recliner and couch that we just throw in the wash once a week. Our cats shed a ton, especially in the spring so its an easy way to get rid of cat hair and any other unwanted stuff. We also have a mattress cover we wash regularly

I do a lot of vacuuming, and in the spring, I can't leave the windows open, even though I love the coolness, but it lets in too much pollen.

To control allergens, I very rarely open the windows during blooming season. I also try to keep dust to a minimum.
Thanks for the giveaway!
