Spring on the coast is beautiful, but if you’re one of the many who suffer from seasonal allergies, you know how rough pollen season can be—especially when it starts finding its way into your home.
How to Help Your Home During Pollen Season
Luckily, with a few simple adjustments, you can reduce the pollen inside your home and make this time of year a lot more comfortable for your family (and any guests or potential buyers stopping by!).
Simple Ways To Keep Pollen Out of Your Home
1. Keep windows and doors closed on high-pollen days.
As tempting as it is to let that ocean breeze roll through, it’s best to keep the windows shut during peak pollen hours—usually early morning.
2. Change your HVAC filters regularly.
Look for high-efficiency filters that trap small particles like pollen, and replace them every 1–3 months depending on usage.
3. Leave shoes at the door.
Pollen sticks to shoes, clothes, and even pets. Create a habit of removing shoes at the entrance to reduce what’s tracked inside.
4. Wipe down pets after walks.
If your furry friends go outside, their coats can carry pollen inside. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can help keep allergens to a minimum.
5. Vacuum and dust more frequently.
Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter and dust with a damp cloth to avoid spreading allergens back into the air.
6. Use doormats at every entrance.
A sturdy doormat inside and outside each door helps catch pollen before it enters.
