Run a dehumidifier to keep humidity between 25% and 50%.<\/li>\n<li>Use air conditioners when possible.<\/li>\n<li>Clean bathrooms regularly, using products that kill and prevent mold.<\/li>\n<li>Use exhaust fans to vent steam.<\/li>\n<li>Keep indoor plants out of bedrooms.<\/li>\n<li>When painting, add mold inhibitor to paint to prevent mold from growing.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sources of outdoor molds, such as wet leaves or garden debris.<\/li>\n<li>To clean visible mold, use a cleaning solution containing bleach and detergent.<\/li>\n<li>Limit your outdoor activities during times of high pollen, such as early morning.<\/li>\n<li>Stay indoors during humid or windy days when pollen counts are high.<\/li>\n<li>Keep windows closed during pollen seasons.<\/li>\n<li>Encase pillows and mattresses with allergen-proof, zippered covers.<\/li>\n<li>Pillows and bedding should not contain feathers.<\/li>\n<li>Wash all bedding in hot water, once a week.<\/li>\n<li>Non-carpeted flooring is best. If you cannot get rid of your carpeting, vacuum often with a multi-layer, allergen-proof vacuum bag. Wear a mask while vacuuming. If your child has asthma, do not vacuum while he or she is in the room.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid curtains and drapes. Use plain window shades instead of miniblinds. Washable curtains should be washed in hot water every 2 to 4 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Dust all surfaces with a damp cloth often, including lampshades and windowsills.<\/li>\n<li>Keep clutter under control. Toys and books should be stored in enclosed bookshelves, drawers or closets.<\/li>\n<li>Replace traditional stuffed animals with washable stuffed animals.<\/li>\n<li>Keep all clothing in drawers and closets. Keep drawers and closets closed.<\/li>\n<li>Cover air ducts with filters. Change these when soiled.<\/li>\n<li>Regularly change filters of heaters and air conditioners<\/li>\n<li>Long visits to friends and family who own pets should be avoided. If you do visit, make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2022\/05\/02\/61484\/\">take asthma or allergy medicines<\/a> before the visit. Exposure to the pets should be kept to a minimum when visiting.<\/li>\n<li>If you must have a cat or dog in the home, restrict its living area. It should not be allowed in your bedroom at any time. If possible, keep the pet outside.<\/li>\n<li>Wash your pet weekly.<\/li>\n<li>Remove as much carpeting as possible. Animal dander deposits in the carpet and stays there, even after the pet has gone from the home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>(This article originally appeared on\u00a0www.practo.com, authored by Dr. Indu Bubna,\u00a0https:\/\/www.practo.com\/healthfeed\/5-common-myths-about-asthma-13226\/post)<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air out damp, humid areas frequently.
