With the arrival of spring, the presence of pollen and other particles that affect allergy sufferers increases. According to the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEIAC), 21.6% of the Spanish population suffers from some type of allergy. They were traditionally considered seasonal, but their frequency and duration are increasing due to climate change and environmental pollution.
Although many people associate allergies with the outside air, Daikin remembers that the quality of the air inside the home is key to preventing symptoms. In fact, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air.
How to keep your home free of allergens
To enjoy a healthy home this spring, Daikin recommends these measures:
- Ventilate daily: Renewing the air reduces the concentration of allergens and microorganisms. Opening windows or using mechanical ventilation systems keeps the air fresh and healthy.
- Regular cleaning: Dust and mites accumulate in carpets, upholstery and stuffed animals. Washing sheets and blankets weekly in hot water and using anti-mite covers on mattresses and pillows helps keep them under control.
- Humidity control: Maintaining relative humidity below 50% prevents the proliferation of mold and mites, especially in bathrooms, kitchens or basements. Dehumidifiers are great allies in this regard.
- Air Purification: A purifier with a HEPA filter can remove up to 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. This complements ventilation and cleaning for a truly healthy home.
