Simple Steps to a Healthier, Allergy-Free Home
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
ATLANTA, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Annually, allergies and asthma strike one
out of every four Americans, causing untold suffering, sneezing and wheezing
-- as well as $6 billion in doctor visits and medication.
However, putting the right air treatment and cleaning strategies in place
throughout your home can create a healthier living environment and help avoid
allergy suffering, says Steven Hong, home health specialist and president of
Sylvane.com (http://www.sylvane.com).
Hong offers these practical tips for a healthier, happier, and
allergen-free home:
-- Tackle Pollen -- As seasons change, the air becomes saturated with tiny
airborne particles that trigger runny noses, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
Eliminate these particles with an economical air purifier like the Alen
Air Purifier (http://www.sylvane.com/alen-air-purifiers.html).
-- Address Humidity -- Mold is a major cause of allergies. Prevent mold
growth by keeping your home's relative humidity below 50%. An Energy
Star-rated dehumidifier like the Comfort-Aire Dehumidifier
(http://www.sylvane.com/comfort-aire-dehumidifier.html) will both
control humidity and keep electric bills low.
-- Keep Your Cool -- Stay cool this summer with an air conditioner that
cools, dehumidifies, and filters the air -- rather than using fans
which can re-circulate dust particles. Portable air conditioners
(http://www.sylvane.com/portable-air-conditioners.html) offer the
flexibility to be used in any room.
-- Clean Up After Fluffy -- Dog and cat dander is a major cause of
allergies. To control, clean furniture, carpets, and floors regularly
with a vacuum that features a built-in HEPA filter, like the Electrolux
Vacuum (http://www.sylvane.com/electrolux-vacuums.html).
-- Take the Bite Out of Dust -- Dust mites occur naturally in normal home
dust and can be especially prevalent -- and allergy inducing -- in
bedding. Deter dust mites with all-natural hypo-allergenic bedding,
such as CottonFresh bedding (http://www.sylvane.com/cottonfresh.html).
-- Steam Up to Clean Up -- Steam cleaners
(http://www.sylvane.com/vapor-steam-cleaners.html) are the ultimate
indoor cleaning tool for hard surfaces, grout, upholstery and carpet --
as well as for addressing a host of allergy triggers, including: dust
mites, mold, mildew, germs, and bacteria. The best steamers use
absolutely no chemicals.
-- Remove the Smoke Screen -- Outdoor smoke and smog can infiltrate your
home to affect your family. Monitor the quality of your indoor air
with a laser particle counter
(http://www.sylvane.com/laser-particle-counter.html).
-- Filter for Change -- Continue to breathe easy by keeping the filters
clean in your home air treatment and cleaning equipment. Create a
calendar noting when filters were last changed out and are due to be
cleaned or replaced.
"With the right strategies in place anyone can easily create a healthy
indoor environment. Plus, today's equipment offer energy-saving features with
a relatively small financial investment -- making an allergen-free, happy home
achievable for virtually anyone," said Hong.
