10 Ways To Allergy Proof Your Home

The Bedroom

The first place to tackle should be the bedroom. The bed is where you spend anywhere from five to eight hours per day, and the linens are an easy target for invisible allergens. Keep them laundered regularly in hot water if allergies are a problem. A mattress cover and pillow protector are also recommended. Make the bedrooms a no-go zone for pets if they contribute to your allergies. For kid’s bedrooms, keep it tidy with just the toys currently being used out front and center. The rest can be stored in totes or the in the closet and rotated for continual use. Stuffed animals tend to collect airborne allergens and should be tossed in the washing machine on a regular basis.
