Everyone's been saying it. Allergy season seems to be worse than ever this year. If you suffer from allergies, you know there is little escape from those nasty allergens that have your eyes puffing up and tearing and your nose running all day and night. That is why it is so important to make your home as allergen free as possible.
Allergens, such as dust mites, pollen, and animal dander are nearly invisible and will intrude into your home no matter how often you clean. There are, however, steps you can take to reduce the misery may they be causing.
Carpets may be warm and comfortable, but they trap allergens and hold and tight. Frequent vacuuming will help, but this is not ideal for an allergy sufferer. Conversely, hardwood floors offer allergens no place to hide because they are free from fibers and grout lines. People with allergies should vacuum or sweep once per week or when dust is visible. Hardwood flooring has the clear advantage here as dust build up can be seen.
