Pollen counts rise during the spring, and the wet weather and warmer temperatures help to promote mold growth. And that can spell trouble for people with allergies and other respiratory concerns, such as asthma. The good news is, there are products available that can help keep pollen and mold at bay indoors, allowing allergy sufferers to breathe easier during the spring season.

You can take measures to keep pollen and allergens out of your home.

There are a few things you as a homeowner can do to cut down on pollen and mold in your home:

  • On days when the pollen counts are high, keep windows and doors shut as much as possible. When you come in from outside, make sure to leave shoes and outerwear at the door, so you don’t track pollen and mold throughout your home.
  • Vacuum carpeting more frequently, and if you’ve spent the day outdoors, take a shower so you’re not bringing any pollen to bed with you!
  • Look around your home for signs of mold growth, especially if your home tends to be damp.

Taking the necessary steps mentioned above to keep pollen and mold out of your home is helpful. Unfortunately, they might not be enough, especially for people with severe allergies. Luckily, there are many products on the market today that can help keep allergens at bay.
