Spring is coming: keep your home pollen-free with an air purifier

Spring is just around the corner, which means longer days, blooming flowers and… pollen! For many people, this season is a disaster if they suffer from hay fever. Sneezing, watery eyes and a stuffy nose are the order of the day. Fortunately, you can significantly reduce the amount of pollen indoors with an air purifier.

Why Spring Can Be Challenging

In the spring, trees, grasses and plants start to bloom. This means that huge amounts of pollen float through the air. Outside, there is little you can do about this, but inside, you want to keep the pollen out as much as possible. Unfortunately, they still enter your home through open windows, doors and even on clothing.

How does an air purifier help against pollen?

An air purifier filters the air in your home and removes fine particles, such as pollen, dust and other allergens. The secret lies in the HEPA filter. This type of filter catches even the smallest pollen, which means you suffer less from allergic reactions. Some air purifiers combine this with a carbon filter to also combat unpleasant odours and other pollution.

Tips to keep your home pollen-free

In addition to an air purifier, you can also take a few smart measures yourself to prevent pollen as much as possible:

• Keep windows and doors closed on days with high pollen concentration. Use ventilation with a good filter if you still want fresh air.
• Clean regularly, preferably with a damp cloth or mop to prevent pollen from swirling around.
• Use an air purifier in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as the bedroom and living room.
• Shower and wash your hair before going to bed so you don't bring pollen into bed with you.
• Wash clothes immediately after a day outside to prevent pollen from spreading in the house.

Which air purifier do you choose?

Not every air purifier is equally effective against pollen. When choosing, consider the following points:

• A HEPA filter is a must : this is the most effective filter against pollen and other allergens.
• The capacity of the air purifier : Make sure the device is powerful enough for the size of the room you are using it in.
• Silent operation : especially if you want to place the air purifier in the bedroom, a silent setting is important.
• Additional features such as a carbon filter : this helps against odors and other air pollution.
