Ease Respiratory Issues during Allergy Season: 5 Purifying Strategies for Air Breathing

Let's Nail That Allergy Season:

Spring and summer may be beautiful, but for allergy sufferers, it's a battle against pollen and grasses. f**k me, right? Here's the deal: about one million people in Austria are afflicted by allergies, with pollen being the worst culprit followed by household dust. Your own pad should be your allergy-free sanctuary, but it's not that easy.

Here's the good news: you can drastically cut down allergens at home with some simple cleaning tactics and the right tools.

Keeping It Clean: The Key to Combating Allergies

Allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet fur can hide everywhere – in carpets, upholstery, mattresses, and curtains. So, it's crucial to stick to a regular cleaning routine during allergy season. Here are our top five hacks to help you tackle those allergens head-on.

1. Vacuum Your Heart Out

Vacuum at least twice or thrice a week – don't just focus on floors, but also upholstery, mattresses, and shelves!

2. Wet 'n' Mop

Give your floors a good once-over with water once a week to remove even the tiniest dirt particles.

3. Sleep Clean

Vacuum your mattresses and beds regularly to minimize dust mites.

4. Change Bedding Frequently

Swap your beddings twice a week – especially during pollen season.

5. Shampoo Your Hair More Often

Wash your hair more frequently during pollen season and strip off outdoor clothes right away when you get home.
