If you or someone in the family suffering from annoying indoor allergies then starts reading this article, you will find great ways to cure the problem of Indoor Allergies. Given below are some of the tips that can help you to reduce the allergens around you:
 

Remove carpet from home

Wall-to-wall carpeting in the home is the biggest collector of allergens in your home. Carpet retains all kinds of allergens from dust particles to pet dander. Even if you are using a high-quality vacuum cleaner every day, you would not be able to completely get rid of those allergens. Few people are allergic to even synthetic dyes & glues found in the carpet while some are sensitive to the chemical stain products used in carpet fibers. So, it is better for you to remove all wall-to-wall carpeting. Better go for the products which are Eco-friendly.

Repaint home using “green paint”

Most of the people are sensitive to the fumes that come out from indoor paints. These paint fumes can cause respiratory problems, headaches and also indoor allergies. People who do not usually suffer from allergies can also get allergic to these fumes. So, it’s better, when re-painting, to use paint that is free from VOCs or volatile organic compounds. When buying paint, check out the full description whether it is water-based and have organic pigments or not.
 

Remove bedding that is over 7- 8 years old

This is a big culprit of allergens. Your pillows, mattress and comforters generally conceal allergens. So, when you re-decorate your bed-room, try to replace these items with only natural wool comforter and also use blankets and cotton quilts. Buy only organic cotton sheets and pillow cases. Plus, Pillows must be filled with natural fibers. If you are suffering from upper back and neck problem, buy only those pillows that are only filled with buckwheat.
