Simple tips to keep pollen out of your home:
- Try using allergy-proof sheets capable of "trapping dust and pollen so that they don't spread and aggravate symptoms". There are also bed linens made from natural materials that help "repel dust and pollen particles";
- Wash your bed linens more often. More specifically, the expert recommends that you do it every week, ideally at 60 degrees;
- Don't dry your clothes outside. Unfortunately, pollen can stick to all types of clothing. "To avoid this, dry your clothes in the machine or hang them on a clothesline indoors";
- Keep doors and windows closed. When you really have to do it, remember that the pollen count increases "early in the morning and when the temperature starts to drop", that is, throughout the night;
- Take a shower and take off your clothes before entering the bedroom. "It is important to rid your skin, clothes and hair of any pollen residue before going to bed";
- Keep pets out of the bedroom. When you let your dog or cat into the bedroom and onto the bed, you significantly increase the risk of the animal transferring pollen to your bedding.
