Dusting is your first defence<\/p>\n
Chances are seasoned hay fever sufferers already have microfibre cloths to hand. \u201cDusting away the pollen is a key part of keeping sneezes away \u2013 but there is one place some forget,\u201d underlines Mills.<\/p>\n
As she explains: \u201cCleaning the glass on your windows is standard, but if you have hay fever, the frames are just as important.<\/p>\n
\u201cPollen, dust, and grime settle into the corners of your uPVC frames\u2026 and sit there until a breeze disturbs them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Take five minutes to open your windows and wipe down the internal frames, she advises, paying close attention to the tracks and mechanisms where dirt builds up.<\/p>\n
\u201cA simple wipe with a damp cloth gets the job done but if there\u2019s stubborn build-up, use a vacuum with a nozzle attachment to suck it out before wiping.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have a steam cleaner, even better,\u201d says Mills. \u201cThe heat helps dissolve grease, dirt, and grime\u2026 and keeps bacteria away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dusting is your first defence Chances are seasoned hay fever sufferers already have microfibre cloths to hand. \u201cDusting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":565785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[17013,49,48,84],"class_list":["post-565784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-allergies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
