Sneezing? Stuffy nose? Did you know the way you approach your laundry could directly impact the severity of those allergy symptoms?<\/p>\n<p>Here are three things you can do to help reduce allergens in your laundry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Control dust mites<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, dust mites live in dust, and can cause allergic respiratory reactions. They thrive in humid, warm environments and are common around the home. These microscopic creatures feed on tiny flakes of human skin that we all shed daily. Although dust mites don\u2019t bite people, they can cause allergic reactions, resulting in severe wheezing, coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and even asthma attacks.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the mites under control, it\u2019s important to use a hot enough wash cycle when you do your laundry. This is particularly important for keeping your bedding (including mattress protectors, pillows, and duvets) squeaky clean and dust mite free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Clean your appliances regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prevent your washer and dryer from becoming an allergen factory by cleaning these appliances frequently. This not only eliminates smells, but also reduces allergens.<\/p>\n<p>Check your washing machine\u2019s seals and hoses for any signs of mould and mildew, especially if you have a front-loading model. Front-loading washers need to be cleaned monthly and it is very important to limit the use of excess detergent and fabric softener that feed mould growth.<\/p>\n<p>The same principle applies to your clothes dryer. Because ventilated dryers extract moisture from your laundry, the moisture must exit the appliance via an exterior opening. If this vent is clogged, mould will soon make an appearance. Keep an eye on your dryer lint trap and clean it as soon as you notice any lint build-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Invest in intelligent appliances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Upgrading to LG\u2019s cutting-edge washing machine and dryer technology will leave you breathing easier.<br \/>The super durable and hygienic LG Vivace washing machine features LG Steam\u2122 technology, which eliminates up to 99.9% of allergens including dust mites. Its next-generation AI DD\u2122 makes intelligence-based laundry a reality by automatically selecting the ideal wash cycle. LG washer features remotely use with the ThinQ\u2122 app. In addition to six different wash motions, additional wash cycles can be downloaded.<\/p>\n<p>With winter on our doorstep, you might be leaving your laundry to dry indoors. That could raise the moisture levels in your home, which is not good news for those prone to allergies, asthma, and hay fever. LG Heat Pump Dryer with Allergy Care removes up to 99.99% of allergens while giving you improved energy efficiency and drying performance.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are spring cleaning or trying to refresh items that are difficult to wash, LG can help sanitise the fabrics in your home and give you one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/3-tips-to-reduce-allergens-in-your-laundry\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
