Are you ready for allergy season? This will help...


A relatively mild winter means a bumper crop of allergies this season...  

Experts say we should brace ourselves, due to an earlier release of tree pollen which could lead to a longer, harder allergy season than normal. If anyone in your family is prone – a dehumidifier can make a big difference. The goal is to keep the relative humidity in your house below 50 percent. That starves the allergy-inducing dust mites and mold of the moisture they need to thrive. 

The most effective spots for your dehumidifier are in basements, bathrooms and kitchens. They are natural breeding grounds for mold, mildew and bacteria. Balancing the moisture in those areas will do a lot to improve overall air quality throughout the house.
