Spring has arrived in the UK, bringing with it a severe 'pollen bomb' that has affected many residents in England and Wales. This surge in pollen levels, attributed to warmer temperatures, has intensified symptoms for hay fever sufferers, including sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses. Experts from Shark Clean recommend several strategies to mitigate these effects. Daily vacuuming is crucial to reduce pollen accumulation indoors, and using a sealed vacuum cleaner can further enhance this effort. Cleaning should start from high surfaces, such as light fittings and shelves, and progress downwards to ensure allergens are effectively removed. Additionally, wearing gloves and a face mask during cleaning can protect against pollen exposure. Regular laundering of bedding on a hot cycle is advised, along with avoiding outdoor drying of laundry to prevent pollen accumulation. Finally, showering before bed can help eliminate pollen from the skin and hair, providing relief for those affected by this seasonal challenge.
