EXPERT WARNING: Could Your Appliances Be Making Your Allergies Worse? 🤧🏠

Spring may bring flowers and sunshine — but for 13 million people across the UK, HAHA I live in NZ...... Any way it also brings a hay fever nightmare. And according to a new expert warning, some of your household appliances could secretly be making it worse.

🧹 What’s the Problem?

• Certain appliances — particularly air conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners — can actually stir up pollen, dust, and allergens inside your home.

• Older models or appliances without proper filters don’t just move air — they can blast allergens directly into your face.

• And if your appliances aren't cleaned regularly, they can become traps for pollen, Mold, and dust mites — creating a perfect storm for hay fever sufferers.

🧠 Expert Advice:

• ✅ Do your research before buying new appliances — look for ones with HEPA filters or allergy-friendly certifications.

• ✅ Clean and maintain appliances often, especially filters, vents, and dust-collecting parts.

• ✅ Keep windows closed when pollen counts are high, even if it's tempting to air things out.

• ✅ Vacuum with a HEPA-filter vacuum and dust with a damp cloth to trap allergens, not spread them.

If your hay fever feels worse inside than outside, your appliances might be part of the problem.
