Cleanaer & Indoor Allergy Week 

This year Indoor Allergy Week is from Monday 17th to Friday 21st of November 2008

 

Do you suffer from any of the following: itchy eyes, runny nose, congested chest, sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath tight chests? All of these symptoms can be the result of suffering from an Indoor Allergy.

At this time of year Indoor Allergies can cause major problems. Most people think they have caught a cold or the flu however more often than not these symptoms are caused by an indoor allergy. The purpose of Indoor Allergy Week is to highlight the problems of seasonal allergies and provide information to help reduce allergen levels in the home.
This time of year is chosen as it is when most people start spending the majority of their time indoors.  Indoor air quality has been proven to be up to five times more polluted than outdoors. This is due to the fact we are insulating our homes better and providing excellent breeding grounds for dust mites. 
 
Most homes have central heating systems and double glazing. We are being encouraged to insulate our homes to conserve energy. However when heat is prevented from escaping allergen and dust are also prevented from escaping. By creating a well insulated home people are also creating the perfect breeding ground for house dust-mites. House dust-mites need an environment that is both warm and humid to breed.  
 
Here are 5 Indoor Allergy Week Facts and Top Tips in combating Allergen in the home.

 

Indoor Allergy Week Facts & Top Tips 

Indoor Allergy Week Fact 1: The air in your home can be up to 5 times more polluted than outside
Indoor Allergy Week Top Tip 1: Continue to ventilate your home throughout winter by opening windows, especially in rooms that are used to dry wet clothes 
 
Indoor Allergy Week Fact 2: We sweat about a third of a litre of water every night, that Is just less than a pint of water. This is why house dust-mites are often called bed-mites.
Indoor Allergy Week Top Tip 2:Change your bedding regularly and vacuum the mattress before putting on new bedding 
 
Indoor Allergy Week Fact 3: Is it a cold or an allergy? For a cold symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing and congestion appear one at a time, however with allergies these often appear all at once
Indoor Allergy Week Top Tip 3: Use an air purifier, like cleanaer, to help remove both allergen and bacteria from the air, to help protect against catching colds and suffering from allergies 
 
Indoor Allergy Week Fact 4: The weight of a pillow can double in 6 months due to the weight of dust-mite droppings
Indoor Allergy Week Top Tip 4:Vacuum pillows as well as mattresses. Buy new pillows once a year  
 
Indoor Allergy Week Fact 5: Dust mites like to live in almost all of furnishings, including carpets, curtains, sofas and even soft toys. As people play, sit, walk and interact with these objects allergen can be reintroduced into the air around the person. Interacting with these objects in the home can trigger allergies
Indoor Allergy Week Top Tip 5:Clean and vacuum all soft furnishings. Some smaller items, such as soft toys, can be put into the freezer overnight to kill dust-mites. Use an air purifier that helps capture particles at source to prevent them being reintroduced into the air.   
 
We take over 2000 breathes a day. Indoor Allergy Week should be about being everyone more aware of the air they breath and how to improve the quality of air in their home.
