Seasonal allergens such as pollen can easily enter homes through clothes, shoes, pets and open windows, settling on surfaces and becoming airborne again through everyday activities. With people spending a significant amount of time indoors, particularly during the evening and night, maintaining good indoor air quality and reducing exposure to airborne allergens can play an important role in creating a healthier home environment, according to Dyson.
Tim Hare, Dyson Engineer, said that simple everyday measures can help reduce indoor exposure to seasonal allergens. Closing windows during high-pollen days, showering and changing clothes after outdoor activities, limiting pets’ access to bedrooms, and regularly cleaning carpets, curtains, upholstery, sofas and pet beds can help minimise the build-up of pollen, dust and pet dander. He also highlighted the importance of cleaning beyond floors, as allergens can settle across multiple surfaces in the home.
Dyson also highlighted the role of technology in managing airborne allergens. The Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine™ helps with fine dust pick-up, while the Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head helps reveal invisible dust on hard floors. The Dyson HushJet™ Purifier Compact, designed for bedrooms, captures up to 99.97% of airborne allergens, including pollen, dust and pet dander. Combining regular cleaning with smart everyday habits and appropriate air purification can help families create a more controlled indoor environment and reduce ongoing exposure to seasonal allergens.
