How to ventilate properly during pollen season—and which products can help

Pollen season can trouble not only allergy sufferers but also those who usually have no breathing issues. Proper ventilation and protecting your home from pollen can significantly reduce unpleasant symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or a blocked nose. How to do it?

1. When should you ventilate during pollen season?

Keep these rules in mind when ventilating in pollen season:
✅ Ventilate early in the morning or in the evening — pollen concentration is lowest.
✅ Avoid ventilating in windy weather — pollen is dispersed in the air and enters the home more easily.
✅ Use micro-ventilation or short, intensive airing — it helps reduce the amount of pollen indoors.

• Laundry care (anti-allergy) – Many detergents and fabric softeners are specially formulated for allergy sufferers and contain ingredients that help remove allergens, including pollen, from clothing and bedding. You can also use dedicated anti-pollen products designed to remove allergens from textiles.

•  Special sprays for furniture and carpets — Some products are designed for carpets, upholstery and other textiles that can trap pollen. These sprays can help reduce allergen levels at home.
  
  
•  Window and surface cleaners — Many surface cleaners (especially for windows and sills) contain ingredients that help remove pollen that settles around the home.
  
  

• Disinfectant wipes and cleaners — Regularly cleaning surfaces helps remove pollen that lands on tables, shelves or floors. Using damp wipes or antibacterial cleaners can be effective.

• Insect screens for windows — While not designed specifically for pollen, window screens can help reduce how much pollen gets indoors.

• Natural repellents and anti-pollen helpers — Some natural products contain essential oils or plant extracts that may help ease allergic reactions and keep pollen in check when used at home (for example lavender or eucalyptus oil).

2. Protecting your home from pollen

Beyond proper ventilation, you can keep pollen out in other ways:

Use curtains or special anti-pollen window screens that capture dust and allergens. 

Dust and vacuum regularly — ideally with a vacuum cleaner featuring a HEPA filter, which traps even fine pollen particles. 

After coming home, always change clothes and wash your face and hair to prevent pollen from spreading around the house.

3. Which products can help you fight pollen?

On our e-shop you’ll find a wide selection of products to help you keep your home clean and reduce allergens. 

Regular dusting helps remove pollen that settles on furniture, shelves or electronics. Some dusters have an anti-static finish that prevents pollen and other allergens from resettling on the surface, which can significantly reduce allergens in the home.

Wishing you a pleasant, allergy-free spring! 😊
