Mom to Mom – Allergy proof your house

Sarah:  It’s fall y’all and we’re going to allergy proof your house.

Fall is on its way and I’m trying to allergy proof my house. My son has terrible seasonal allergies and I’m trying to make it a little bit better for him.

The one major thing that we all have to remember is dust. That is the source of indoor seasonal allergies. What I always forget to do is change the filters. So I’ve made it on every first day of summer, fall, sprint or winter I change my filters.

The other thing is you want to dust your house really good. Start from top to bottom, that way the dust falls and then you want to vacuum it up real good. You don’t want to leave it laying around in the carpet especially. While you’re vacuuming and dusting, a good thing to do is to open your windows. That lets some fresh air in, get a good cross breeze going. But make sure you do this before allergy season is in full gear and the trees and the grass aren’t drying out because that just puts everything right back in your home.

Another thing that I have invested in are mattress covers and pillow covers. They keep the allergens inside. The cool thing is you can wash the covers. It’s an easy fix, you take it off, plop it in the washer and dryer and it’s ready to go clean.

So moms, if I’ve missed anything i would love to hear what you guys do to allergy proof your home for fall. So go to the mom to mom Facebook page and put your comment in. I’ll see y’all next week.
