While the season brings blooming flowers and warmer weather, it can also usher in a wave of allergy woes for many. In spring, pollen counts rise, and dust mites stir from their winter slumber. But before you resign yourself to a season of sniffles and itchy eyes, consider this: the air you breathe indoors might be just as much of a culprit as the air outdoors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2024\/04\/02\/cleaning-tips-for-an-allergy-free-home\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Hidden Threat: Indoor Air Allergens and Pollutants<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cBelieve it or not, the air inside your home can often be more problematic than the air outside,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/ban-wang-md\">Ban Wang, MD<\/a>, an allergist-immunologist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cModern homes are built to be energy-efficient, which keeps warm air in during the winter and cool air in during the summer, while also trapping allergens and pollutants like dust, pet dander, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from cleaning products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These allergens and pollutants can irritate your airways and intensify allergy symptoms. The good news is that with a little effort, you can significantly improve the indoor air quality of your home and breathe easier all spring long.<\/p>\n<h3>Spring Cleaning for a Breath of Fresh Air<\/h3>\n<p>Dust is a major offender when it comes to indoor allergies. It harbors dust mites, microscopic creatures that thrive on dead skin flakes. To minimize dust, it\u2019s best to tackle it regularly and strategically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some tips to dust like a pro:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ditch the feather duster. <\/strong>It just stirs dust around. Opt for a damp microfiber cloth that traps dust instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Target the dust magnets. <\/strong>Pay special attention to surfaces that collect dust easily, like shelves, blinds, fan blades, and electronics. Don&#8217;t forget to vacuum furniture upholstery and under cushions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash frequently used items.\u00a0<\/strong>Wash curtains, throw rugs, and bedding in hot water (at least 130\u00b0F) to kill dust mites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vacuum smarter. <\/strong>Invest in a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner. HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air, and these filters trap even the tiniest dust particles. Vacuum carpets and rugs at least once a week, paying close attention to edges and corners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go green with cleaning products. <\/strong>Many conventional cleaning products emit VOCs, which can irritate your lungs. Choose natural cleaning solutions like vinegar and water, or products labeled \u201cnon-toxic.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Declutter for cleaner air. <\/strong>Less clutter means less surface area for dust to settle on. Donate or discard unused items, and store what you need in neatly organized cabinets and drawers. This will also make cleaning easier and reduce the chance of disturbing dust during your cleaning routine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dust mites are a major trigger for allergies and asthma. Here are some ways to control them:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Encase mattresses and pillows. <\/strong>Use allergen-impermeable covers to prevent dust mites from thriving in your bedding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash bedding weekly. <\/strong>Wash your sheets, pillowcases, and mattress covers in hot water (at least 130\u00b0F) every week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Launder stuffed animals:<\/strong> For kids (and teenagers) who have stuffed animals on their beds, make it a habit to wash them frequently in hot water as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce humidity. <\/strong>Dust mites love moisture. Aim to keep the humidity level in your home between 30% and 50%, using a dehumidifier if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAnother tip is to consider an air purifier for your home,\u201d Dr. Wang suggests. \u201cLook for one with a HEPA filter to trap allergens, dust, and other airborne particles. Be sure to consider the size of your room when choosing an air purifier, and make sure to replace the filter regularly according to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Minimize Outdoor Allergens Indoors<\/h3>\n<p>While you can&#8217;t control the pollen count outdoors, you can minimize its impact indoors. On high pollen days, it\u2019s best to keep your windows closed. If you do head outside, remove your shoes at the door, change your clothes, and take a shower as soon as you come in, as pollen can cling to your clothes and hair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also best to keep pets off the bed\u00a0and do not allow them to sleep with you at night, as pollen can stick to their paws and fur,\u201d Dr. Wang adds.<\/p>\n<h3>Beyond Cleaning: Lifestyle Habits for Healthy Lungs<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Quit Smoking:\u00a0<\/strong>Smoking is one of the leading causes of lung damage and can worsen allergies and asthma. Quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can do for your lung health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise Regularly:\u00a0<\/strong>Regular exercise strengthens your lungs and helps clear out irritants. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy incorporating these tips into your cleaning routine and adopting healthy lifestyle habits, you can create a haven of clean air in your home,\u201d Dr. Wang says. \u201cThis will make your indoor environment more pleasant, help you breathe easier, and manage allergies more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you are suffering from allergies, make an appointment with a Cooper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/allergy-asthma-and-immunology\">allergy and immunology<\/a> specialist by calling <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) or using our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php?source=ehealth_blog\">online form<\/a>.

Si bien la temporada trae flores y un clima m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido, tambi\u00e9n puede provocar una ola de problemas de alergias para muchos. Los recuentos de polen aumentan y los \u00e1caros del polvo salen de su letargo invernal. Pero antes de resignarse a una temporada de resfriados y picaz\u00f3n en los ojos, considere esto: el aire que respira en el interior puede ser tan culpable como el aire del exterior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La amenaza oculta: los al\u00e9rgenos y contaminantes del aire interior<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lo creas o no, el aire dentro de tu casa a menudo puede ser m\u00e1s problem\u00e1tico que el aire exterior&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/ban-wang-md\">Ban Wang, MD<\/a>, alerg\u00f3logo-inmun\u00f3logo de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cLas casas modernas est\u00e1n construidas para ser energ\u00e9ticamente eficientes, lo que mantiene el aire caliente durante el invierno y el aire fresco durante el verano, al mismo tiempo que atrapa al\u00e9rgenos y contaminantes como polvo, caspa de mascotas, esporas de moho y compuestos org\u00e1nicos vol\u00e1tiles (COV) emitidos. de productos de limpieza\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Estos al\u00e9rgenos y contaminantes pueden irritar las v\u00edas respiratorias e intensificar los s\u00edntomas de la alergia. La buena noticia es que con un poco de esfuerzo, puedes mejorar significativamente la calidad del aire interior de tu hogar y respirar mejor durante toda la primavera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limpieza de primavera para respirar aire fresco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El polvo es uno de los principales culpables de las alergias en interiores. Alberga \u00e1caros del polvo, criaturas microsc\u00f3picas que se alimentan de escamas de piel muerta. Para minimizar el polvo, es mejor abordarlo de forma regular y estrat\u00e9gica.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A continuaci\u00f3n se ofrecen algunos consejos para desempolvar como un profesional:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deshazte del plumero.<\/strong> Simplemente levanta polvo. Opte por un pa\u00f1o de microfibra h\u00famedo que atrape el polvo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apunta a los imanes de polvo.<\/strong> Preste especial atenci\u00f3n a las superficies que acumulan polvo f\u00e1cilmente, como estantes, persianas, aspas de ventiladores y dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos. No olvides aspirar la tapicer\u00eda de los muebles y debajo de los cojines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lave los art\u00edculos de uso frecuente.<\/strong> Lave las cortinas, las alfombras y la ropa de cama en agua caliente (al menos a 130 \u00b0F) para matar los \u00e1caros del polvo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aspire de manera m\u00e1s inteligente.<\/strong> Invierta en una aspiradora con filtro HEPA. HEPA significa aire de part\u00edculas de alta eficiencia y estos filtros atrapan incluso las part\u00edculas de polvo m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as. Aspire alfombras y tapetes al menos una vez a la semana, prestando mucha atenci\u00f3n a los bordes y esquinas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sea ecol\u00f3gico con productos de limpieza.<\/strong> muchos productos de limpieza convencionales emiten COV, que pueden irritar los pulmones. Elija soluciones de limpieza naturales como vinagre y agua, o productos etiquetados como &#8220;no t\u00f3xicos&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ordene el aire para un aire m\u00e1s limpio.<\/strong> Menos desorden significa menos superficie para que se deposite el polvo. Done o deseche los art\u00edculos no utilizados y almacene lo que necesite en gabinetes y cajones cuidadosamente organizados. Esto tambi\u00e9n facilitar\u00e1 la limpieza y reducir\u00e1 la posibilidad de que se produzca polvo durante la rutina de limpieza.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Los \u00e1caros del polvo son un importante desencadenante de alergias y asma. A continuaci\u00f3n se muestran algunas formas de controlarlos:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cubra los colchones y las almohadas.<\/strong> utilice fundas impermeables a los al\u00e9rgenos para evitar que los \u00e1caros del polvo prosperen en su ropa de cama.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lave la ropa de cama semanalmente.<\/strong> Lave las s\u00e1banas, fundas de almohadas y colchones en agua caliente (al menos a 130\u00b0F) todas las semanas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lave los animales de peluche.<\/strong> para los ni\u00f1os (y adolescentes) que tienen animales de peluche en sus camas, acost\u00fambrese a lavarlos tambi\u00e9n con frecuencia en agua caliente.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducir la humedad.<\/strong> a los \u00e1caros del polvo les encanta la humedad. Trate de mantener el nivel de humedad en su hogar entre el 30% y el 50%, utilizando un deshumidificador si es necesario.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Otro consejo es considerar un purificador de aire para su hogar&#8221;, sugiere el Dr. Wang. \u201cBusque uno con un filtro HEPA para atrapar al\u00e9rgenos, polvo y otras part\u00edculas en el aire. Aseg\u00farese de considerar el tama\u00f1o de su habitaci\u00f3n al elegir un purificador de aire y aseg\u00farese de reemplazar el filtro regularmente de acuerdo con las instrucciones del fabricante &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimice los al\u00e9rgenos exteriores en interiores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si bien no puedes controlar el recuento de polen en el exterior, puedes minimizar su impacto en el interior. En los d\u00edas con mucho polen, es mejor mantener las ventanas cerradas. Si sale, qu\u00edtese los zapatos en la puerta, c\u00e1mbiese de ropa y b\u00e1\u00f1ese tan pronto como entre, ya que el polen puede adherirse a su ropa y cabello.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tambi\u00e9n es mejor mantener a las mascotas alejadas de la cama y no permitirles dormir con usted por la noche, ya que el polen puede adherirse a sus patas y pelaje&#8221;, a\u00f1ade el Dr. Wang.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la limpieza: h\u00e1bitos de estilo de vida para unos pulmones sanos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deje de fumar: fumar es una de las principales causas de da\u00f1o pulmonar y puede empeorar las alergias y el asma. Dejar de fumar es lo m\u00e1s importante que puede hacer por su salud pulmonar.<\/p>\n<p>Haga ejercicio con regularidad:\u00a0el ejercicio regular fortalece los pulmones y ayuda a eliminar los irritantes. Intente realizar al menos 30 minutos de ejercicio de intensidad moderada la mayor\u00eda de los d\u00edas de la semana.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Al incorporar estos consejos a su rutina de limpieza y adoptar h\u00e1bitos de vida saludables, puede crear un para\u00edso de aire limpio en su hogar&#8221;, dice el Dr. Wang. &#8220;Esto har\u00e1 que su ambiente interior sea m\u00e1s agradable, le ayudar\u00e1 a respirar mejor y a controlar las alergias de forma m\u00e1s eficaz&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Si sufre de alergias, programe una cita con un especialista en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/allergy-asthma-and-immunology\">alergia e inmunolog\u00eda<\/a> de Cooper llamando al <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) o utilizando nuestro <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">formulario en l\u00ednea<\/a>.
