| Spring is just around the corner. Therefore, so are Spring Allergies. Instead of bracing yourself, take these steps to be proactive against allergy symptoms. Apply the following measures and we promise you’ll breathe better this spring…
TOP 3 SPRING ALLERGY TIPS:
 First, buy an air purifier. If you already have one, buy another. Air purifiers cleanse your home’s air of all kinds of allergens. These allergens can trigger your spring allergies. They including pollen spores, mold spores, pet dander, and dust mite allergen. By controlling the allergens in your home, you will lower your total allergen load. In other words, purifying your air keeps you from falling victim to pollen in the spring.
If you only have one air purifier, we suggest you keep it in your bedroom. This helps to reduce nighttime allergies. Above all, it can help to improve your sleep. But if you’re interested in taking your allergy preventing routine up a notch – and spring is an ideal time to do this – consider buying another one. A second air purifier will cover more square footage in your home. An air purifier in your home office or family room, where you (and possibly your pets) spend a lot of time, can reduce your spring allergies. This can make a big difference in your everyday quality of life.
See our Air Purifier Buying Guide for more information.  Second, encase your bedding in allergy relief covers. Along with air purifiers, allergy relief bedding is at the top of the list of ways to combat spring allergies through environmental control. Using dust mite covers protects you from the allergens that lurk in mattresses, pillows, and other bed linens. Basic allergy bedding includes a mattress encasing and an allergy relief pillow cover.
But to really up the ante, add a duvet cover and box spring cover to your allergy bedding. Other products, like allergy friendly pillows or allergy blankets can also help lower allergens in your bedroom. Our customer favorite BedCare bedding can stand up to repeated washing with little to no sign of wear and tear.  Third, use a HEPA vacuum cleaner and use it often. A HEPA vacuum cleaner is a must for every allergy sufferer. Good vacuums, and good vacuuming techniques make your house clean. In addition, HEPA vacuums help improve your overall indoor air quality.
During spring, the flow of pollen threatens to really tip your total allergen load over the top. Therefore, it’s important to strengthen your typical cleaning routine during this time. Do this by investing in a better quality vacuum. We suggest the top choice Miele canister vacuum. In addition, increase the frequency of your vacuuming routine. Possibly even doubling it during the spring allergy season.
