The most common indoor\/outdoor allergy triggers are: tree pollen, grass pollen, and weed pollen, mold spores, dust mites, cockroaches, cat and dog dander, and rodent urine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an unfortunate truth that many of these allergens can be found in your kitchen. In this post, we review how to reduce allergens in your kitchen, so you don\u2019t experience <a href=\"https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/allergist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">allergy<\/a> symptoms in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Windows Closed<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/allergies-modern-kitchen.jpeg\" alt=\"A modern looking kitchen with white brick background.\" class=\"wp-image-1709\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/allergies-modern-kitchen.jpeg 1124w, https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/allergies-modern-kitchen-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/allergies-modern-kitchen-256x171.jpeg 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re reactive to pollen, it\u2019s important you keep your windows closed during pollen season, especially mid-morning when counts are highest. To get air circulating and filter out allergens, turn on your air conditioning instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to clean your kitchen regularly to prevent pests and their droppings from infiltrating your kitchen. This means wiping up spills and crumbs, staying on top of dishes and sweeping regularly. In addition, to prevent excessive dust mites, dust the tops of your cabinets and vent hood. We recommend using unscented cleaners or make your own cleaner using vinegar and water. Mold, however, should be cleaned with bleach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mold can also grow in your kitchen if you have leaks under your sink or behind your fridge. Be on the lookout for leaks and call a repair person right away if you notice one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more or to <a href=\"https:\/\/breathe-ent.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule an appointment<\/a> with an allergy expert, call Breathe ENT: Kevin Taheri, MD today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[related-posts]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America reports, \u201cMany people with allergies often have more than one type of allergy.
