Using a good quality air purifier can significantly reduce the amount of Blue Lyme Grass pollen indoors. Look for models with HEPA filters as they efficiently capture particulates, including pollen. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner also helps in controlling pollen. Aim to vacuum at least twice a week if you know the pollen count is high.
It's crucial to clean surfaces more frequently during the pollen season. Use a damp cloth to dust surfaces, as dry dusting can stir up pollen particles into the air.
While it might be refreshing, avoid opening doors and windows on high pollen days. Instead, use air conditioning to cool the home. Ensure that your air conditioning units are regularly serviced and fine-particle filters are replaced as needed.
Washing clothes and bedding frequently is also effective in controlling pollen. Pollen can attach to fabrics, so ensure to wash them regularly and dry indoors where possible.
Finally, while not a cleaning tip, it may be beneficial to remove shoes and change clothes after being outside to prevent bringing in additional pollen.
Coupled with these cleaning techniques, it may be beneficial to take an over-the-counter antihistamine or nasal steroid to help control symptoms. It's always advisable to speak to a healthcare professional to discuss the most suitable treatment approach based on your individual symptoms and health history. Remember that everyone is unique, and what works best for one person may not be the best approach for another.
