How to Win Spring Allergy Season

Spring can bring beautiful weather, warmer temperatures, and blooming flowers, but for many people, it also marks the start of allergy season. Preparing early to reduce the discomfort caused by pollen and other allergens in your home is essential. Here are key steps to help you manage your allergies this spring:

1. Identify Your Triggers: The first step in preparing for allergy season is understanding which allergens affect you the most. Common triggers include tree pollen, grass pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. Knowing your specific triggers will help you take targeted action to minimize exposure.

2. Monitor Pollen Counts: Regularly check local pollen levels to determine when it’s safest to go outdoors. Many weather websites and apps provide daily pollen counts, which can help you plan your activities to avoid peak pollen hours.

3. Keep Windows Closed: On high pollen days, it’s essential to keep windows and doors closed. This prevents pollen from entering your home and helps maintain a pollen-free environment indoors.

4. Wear a Mask Outdoors: Consider wearing a mask if you must be outside during high pollen levels. A face mask can filter out allergens and reduce your exposure to pollen, helping you breathe easier.

5. Shower After Being Outside: Pollen can cling to your skin, hair, and clothing, so be sure to shower after spending time outdoors. This will remove any lingering allergens and help prevent them from spreading inside your home.

6. Use an Air Purifier: Invest in a high-quality air purifier. Stanfield offers in-duct options, like the Reme Halo, and air purifiers with a HEPA filter to help remove allergens from the

   air inside your home. HEPA filters are highly effective at trapping small particles like pollen, dust, and pet dander.

7. Clean Air Ducts: Having the ductwork in your home professionally cleaned eliminates allergens that may be hiding in your home. Stanfield offers thorough duct cleaning without the use of harsh chemicals to eliminate pet dander, dust, pollen, and other irritants from the ductwork in your home.

   
   

Taking these steps can help you enjoy the spring season with fewer allergy symptoms. Whether it’s using an air purifier or staying informed about pollen counts, being proactive can make a significant difference.

In addition, consider installing a Reme Halo air purifier, which has been popular among RGF Air Quality Specialists. It’s designed to improve indoor air quality and help filter out allergens. Many of the service and installation staff at Stanfield have been trained as RGF Air Quality Specialists, gaining hands-on experience with these devices. 

By preparing and staying informed, you can manage your allergies and breathe easier as spring unfolds. Stanfield is here to help you keep the pollen out of your airways at home.
