Allergies can be a real pain, and while most people associate allergies with spring, they often flair up during winter too, as it tends to be a drier and dustier time of year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allergens can be brought into the home or office through windows, foot traffic, and they even hitch a ride with your pets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do suffer from allergies, you don\u2019t have to spend all day sniffing and sneezing, as you can take some steps to make your space an allergen free zone. Start with these four tips from Chemico<\/a>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. \n
      \n
    1. Dust and vacuum everywhere:<\/b> Although you may be cleaning your home or office desk regularly, are you making sure that your allergies are kept outside? Dust, mould, pet hair and dust mites can be anywhere, causing you to react. Dust and vacuum as often as needed, reaching into unseen places where allergens can hide and build up. Be sure to wear a mask while you clean to stop triggering your allergies. Make sure to wipe surfaces and counters with a good <\/span>cleaning liquid<\/span><\/a> regularly to avoid any build up of dust, grime and bacteria.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Create pet-free zones<\/b>: Having pets can often trigger allergies, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to say goodbye to your fur babies. During winter, your pets will be spending more time inside your home, which is why it is important to keep certain rooms pet free, such as your bedroom. Also, remember to your wash your hands after petting them. Brushing and grooming your pet outside also minimises the amount of pet fur in your home.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Take off your shoes: <\/b>Before you walk into your home, take off your shoes, as they are likely to have allergens on them which you may have picked up outside or the office. <\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Try to keep your windows closed: <\/b>\u00a0This will stop any outdoor allergens from entering your office or home, as well as stop the dust from being stirred up by a breeze and becoming airborne.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
