It's that time of year again. The crocuses are popping up their colorful little heads, trees will be blooming soon and the grass will green up with the first truly warm day. All these beautiful signs tell us that spring is near. Allergy suffers know the time is near too as their noses begin to stuff up, their head throbs with sinus pain and they begin to itch all over.
One of the best ways to cut allergens in your home is to vacuum using a micro filter. Keeping your home dust free and your bed sheets washed will help to bring some of those little buggers under control. Another green way to cut allergens in your home is to make a solution of weakened black tea and put it in a spray bottle. Spraying your rug, couches and bed after vacuuming will help to settle the allergens down in your home. The tannic acid in tea binds to the proteins in the allergen molecules and neutralizes them. The added benefit is you are using no heavy chemicals that could increase your allergy sufferings. Enjoy spring this year.
