THE MAIDS(R) provides tips to alleviate the plaguing symptoms of allergies
and asthma
OMAHA, Neb., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- You may not be able to hide from your allergies or asthma while outdoors, but why deal with irritating triggers in your home? Having a plan of action for avoiding allergy and asthma catalysts will let you focus on more important things, not on your symptoms.
Try to prevent as many allergens and contaminants as possible from
causing havoc in your home by following these preventative maintenance
techniques provided by THE MAIDS Home Services.
-- Plug-in air fresheners can cause allergy symptoms to increase. Create
your own natural air-freshener. Place cloves, cinnamon sticks, allspice
or other favorite spices in a pot of hot water, and simmer for about an
hour and a half.
-- Vacuums can make all the difference. Trying using one with a HEPA
filtration system that can capture up to 99% of all dust and allergens.
They also help capture bacteria, dust mites, pet dander, pollen and
other pollutants, leaving you nothing to sneeze about.
-- Avoid those old-fashioned feather dusters, which are great for doing
one thing -- stirring up dust and allergens and putting them into the
air you breathe.
-- If you have a humidifier, set the humidity level below 50 percent to
help prevent fungus growth.
-- Dust regularly with a micro-fiber cloth and wash your bed linens in hot
water to control dust mites.
-- Clean and change your air conditioner and furnace filters according to
the manufacturer's directions. Mold thrives in cooling systems and
pollen gets trapped in the filters.
