Trinity Falls - How To Get Rid of Allergens In Your McKinney Home

April 17, 2015

Springtime in north Texas comes with beautiful, sunny days perfect for outdoor fun. However, allergies may get the best of your eyes, nose, and throat, causing you to stay indoors to avoid pollen and other irritants. However, have you ever thought that maybe your allergies could be triggered inside your home as well? Here are a few simple ways to get rid of anything from pet dander to dust mites to get you breathing easy again!

What are you allergic to?

Before you start eliminating possible allergens in your home, you must know what exactly is triggering your allergies. Schedule an appointment with an allergist to figure out what is causing your to sneeze, sniffle, and scratch!

Use Doormats

This simple tip can save you and your family from tracking in millions of offenders each time anyone walks through the door. Another good rule of thumb is having everyone take their shoes off at the door. This will also avoid your new McKinney home from getting messy!

Invest in a Good Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum cleaner can get pretty pricey, but it's well worth the investment knowing it will properly trap those pesky tiny particles that are irritating your respiratory tract.

Don't Forget Your Bathroom

Mold is a part of everyday life. We are exposed to hundreds of thousands of species, and some may cause allergies to flare up. Your bathroom is a haven for mold due to the constant moisture associated with showers and sinks. Make sure to dry off standing water to avoid extra growth.

Wash Your Sheets

It's no secret that dust mites love bedding! Since you spend a lot of time in your bed, it's a good idea to wash your sheets and pillows every week to kill off any mites that may be disrupting your sleep.

These are just a few ways you can keep your new McKinney home fresh and allergy-free. What are ways you eliminate allergens in your home? Let us know on our Facebook or Twitter page!
