Spring is a season of renewal and rejuvenation, but for many people, it also means the onset of allergy season. Here are some tips for bringing in the springtime mood without the spring allergy triggers:

Choose allergy-friendly plants: Some plants are better for allergy sufferers than others. Choose plants like peace lilies, rubber plants, and English ivy, which can help purify the air.

Decorate with spring colors and prints: Bringing spring flowers to decorate may trigger allergies, but that’s not the only way to herald in the season. Choose throw pillows or decorations that bring in the spring vibes without the pollen.

Keep windows closed and use an air purifier: It can be tempting to throw open your windows, but you probably want to make sure they stay shut during peak pollen times. An air purifier with HEPA filters can help refresh your air instead.

A little spring cleaning can also bring in that needed refresh and help keep allergens at bay. Here’s how:

Clean regularly: Regular cleaning can help reduce the number of allergens in your home. Use a damp cloth to dust surfaces and vacuum regularly. If scented products don’t affect your allergies, consider choosing a scent that helps invoke spring as you clean.

Wash bedding regularly: Wash your bedding in hot water once a week to kill dust mites and remove allergens.
