With spring usually being the start of allergy season homeowners can help protect themselves from the dreaded sneezing fits from inside the home.
One good area to start with is making sure the vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter installed, advises the AllergyBuyersClub.
Miele vacuums are rated as the best HEPA sealed vacuums, being easy-to-use and powerful.
Vacuuming pollen spores, dust and pet hair with a high grade cleaner twice a week can reduce the number of allergens in the home.
In addition sanitising, deodorising and disinfecting the home with a steam cleaner can help kill dust mites and unwanted bacteria.
Steam cleaners only use tap water to clean and so no harmful chemicals are introduced to the home.
Vax produces a steam cleaner for cleaning mirrors, hard surfaces and grime from kitchen and bathroom tiles.
Dehumidifiers are another tool in the fight against allergic reactions, as they can control mould and dust mites in damp areas.
The club recommends that these practices be adhered to consistently and the need to buy expensive prescription allergy medications can be avoided.
