Allergy Season
Allergies can be quite annoying. You feel fine; you just can’t breathe. Whether is is pollen or dander or mold, it’s out there causing havok on your health. There are several ways you can combat this.
Start with your home:You want (well need) to be able to breathe easy at home. This is your sanctuary afterall. You should use a Large UV-C Sanitizer Wand to make sure all of your surfaces are clean. Then, for the air, you have several options. There is the Pluggable Air Sanitizer, UV-C Air Sanitizer, Table Top Air Purifer, and the Complete Air Cleansing System. Depending on how severe your allergies are, you will have to decide which product would be best for you.
- The Pluggable Air Sanitizer and the UV-C Air Sanitizer harness the natural power of UV-C light rays to kill airborne mold spores and 99% of bacteria. It also fights odors from pets, mildew, etc. The pluggable is ideal for a small room, like a bathroom, while the other is good for larger areas.
- The Table Top Air Purifer also uses UV-C light rays to do the above. It also has a charcoal filter to remove odors and smoke, a HEPA filter to capture airborne allergens, a PCO filter to capture and dissolve mold and mildew, and an Ionizer that emits negative ions to freshen the air.
- The Complete Air Cleansing System does all of the above and also has a pre-filter for larger particles such as pet hair and lent.
You should also use a pillow protector and a mattress encasement. These will not only protect your investment in your pillow and mattress, it will also trap dust and allergens inside of these items. It also allows for easy cleaning of these items. Simple remove the covers and throw in the washer each time you wash your bed linens.
When you are at the office, you should use the same precautions: getting an air purifier and a sanitizer wand. The number of people you work with and the set up of your office will help you determine which of the air sanitizers above would be the most prudent at work. I would recommend a table top air purifier because it will get everything but the larger particles (and most people don’t have furry pets at work anyway). You can get a mini sanitizer wand so it will fit perfectly in your pen cup or top drawer.
In the car, you can keep your mini wand with you. This way you can sanitizer your steering wheel, door handles, etc. Especially if you have children, think about when you last cleaned those knobs. A sanitizer wand is the perfect daily tool that is quick and effective. If you are in a car pool (or you are soccer mom transporting lots of kids), you should invest in a personal air purifier. Other people’s germs will always be a risk to you, more so in close quarters. Simple wear it during the drive to ensure easy breathing.
If you are like me, you will resort to medication as a last resort. It makes sense with allergies because there are amazing products out there to keep you tip top without having to introduce foreign chemicals into your system. (I still use medication, I just reserve it for more severe times. I urge you to try the products above first. If will save you money over time as you find your health is stronger because the quality of air you breath is purer.
