Change Your Sheets Weekly

Changing your bed linens more frequently can help reduce dust buildup in the home. When you go to bed you are shedding dead skin cells that can be transferred to other surfaces in the bedroom.

Dry Clothes Faster And Avoid Condensation

Another factor that contributes to household allergies is the humidity caused by condensation in the home. Hanging clothes inside or using a dryer that does not have adequate ventilation can cause condensation that leads to mold growth. A dehumidifier is ideal for reducing the amount of humidity in the home, as it is able to absorb moisture from the air and capture it in a water tank. You can then empty the tank down the drain or use it to water your plants.A dehumidifier can also help dry clothes faster, or if you use a dryer, you can place a dry towel in with the wet clothes to speed up the process.
