"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Would you be surprised to know that indoor air is actually worse for your health than outdoor air? Since most people spend 90% of their time indoors, poor indoor air quality is a big problem. With spring in full swing, you may be knee deep in tissues from your stubborn spring allergies. Improving the indoor air quality can help reduce the effects of spring allergies. Below are some tips that will help you do just that. 

Get Rid of Dust Mites
Cleaning your home on a regular basis will keep dust mites at bay. You can achieve this by washing rugs and low pile carpets. Each week, wash bedding and pillows in hot water. Last not certainly not least, you can put plastic coverings on all pillows, mattresses and box springs. 

Vacuum Weekly
Dust mites can also be found in carpets. To prevent them from affecting the indoor air quality, be sure to vacuum once or twice a week. For best results, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. 

Stop Pollen From Entering Your Home
During the spring,  high concentrations of pollen are in the air. This is usually why people experience allergies in the springtime. You can stop pollen in its tracks by keeping the windows and doors closed.
