Use these 3 Essential Tips to Beat Tough Fall Allergies

Right now is a pretty tough time for allergy sufferers. Fall allergies such as ragweed can make you so miserable that you almost wish for another polar vortex to swoop in and kill off the dreaded pollen producer, while indoor allergies to things like animal dander and mold can mean that even your home isn’t a refuge.

Fight back! Read on for 3 tools you can use to stay one step ahead of the allergens that want to wreck your day.

1. Stay One Step Ahead of Outdoor Fall Allergies

Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L) is a major fall allergy culprit, and it may be the cause of your suffering if you experience allergy flare-ups this time of year. Ragweed blooms in much of the U.S. from late August until the first hard frost, and it brings many runny noses, hives, itchy eyes, sneezes, and other unpleasant symptoms.

Other plants such as goldenrod are also a problem this time of year, and outdoor mold becomes an issue once the leaves fall, traps moisture from the autumn rain, and creates a perfect breeding ground for fall mold.

The first step in battling outdoor allergies is to find out what you are allergic to, so see your doctor if you haven’t already. They will determine if your symptoms are from allergies or other problems and run tests to identify the allergens.

If you have outdoor allergies, this guide is full of helpful tips for minimizing your exposure to outdoor allergens such as ragweed and mold and treating your symptoms. This guide covers both indoor and outdoor allergies.

2. Keep Indoor Allergens under Control

As the chill in the air deepens and you start spending more time indoors, indoor allergens such as animal dander, dust mites, and indoor mold can become more of an issue.

Just like with outdoor fall allergies, the keys to beating indoor allergies are getting a proper diagnosis, minimizing your exposure to allergens, and treating your symptoms.

Here are some resources to help you do that and keep your indoor allergies at bay:

      • Furnace Care: It’s easy to overlook, but your furnace plays a very important role in your home’s air quality, and a well-maintained furnace will help your family breathe easily and stay warm. This article has step-by-step furnace care instructions to help you get your furnace ready for the cold weather. Getting your ductwork cleaned regularly is another way to improve the air quality in your home.
      • Limiting Allergen Exposure: This article has key tips for reducing indoor allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold, and this article has tips for both indoor and outdoor allergens.

3. Wipe out Indoor Mold and Mildew with Wet & Forget Indoor

Indoor mold and mildew is an allergen for many people, and high levels of indoor mold can also worsen asthma symptoms in some children and even lead to respiratory infections.

While it isn’t possible to completely eliminate all mold spores from your home’s atmosphere, there are steps you can take to reduce the mold in your home. If you are allergic to mold, you may want to invest in a HEPA filter to clean mold spores from the air.

Be careful not to over-water your houseplants because this can lead to mold growth on the soil, which is bad for you, bad for the plant, and even attracts gnats. And if you see any mold or mildew growing on surfaces inside your home, wipe it out with Wet & Forget Indoor Mold + Mildew Disinfectant Cleaner.

Wet & Forget Indoor eliminates mold and mildew on hard, non-porous surfaces with no scrubbing, bleaching, or rinsing.* Just spray and wipe! Click here to learn more.

Defeat those fall allergies, and enjoy autumn!

*Rinse all surfaces that come in contact with food, such as countertops, appliances, tables, and stovetops, with potable water before reuse. Do not use it on utensils, glassware, or dishes.
