[![keep pollen out](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pollen-300x200.jpg)](http://shutterstock.com) ## Winning the Fight Against Pollen Consider these tips to reduce the presence of pollen in your home: - Pollen can be tracked in on your shoes. Use doormats at all entrances and take your shoes off when entering your home. - After performing yard work, remove your clothing immediately after entering your home. Wash your clothes right away instead of putting your clothes in the hamper. - Wash your hair before going to bed. Throughout the day, your hair acts as a pollen magnet and once you go to bed; it will be transferred to your pillows. - Pets that spend time outdoors can track pollen throughout your home. Wipe your pet’s paws and brush their fur when they come inside. - Empty your vacuum canister outdoors into a bag that will go directly into your garbage can instead of emptying into your indoor trashcan. - Keep your windows and doors shut, especially during times of high pollen. - Running your air conditioner will help [improve the air quality](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/allergies-room-room-approach-improved-indoor-air-quality.html) in your home by removing pollen and other contaminants from the air. ## Importance of Changing Filters Once pollen has entered your home, it can be recirculated through your heating and cooling system if not properly maintained. A clogged filter will allow pollen to enter your system and lessen your system’s efficiency. You can avoid this from happening by making sure to [change your system’s air filter](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/a-primer-air-filters.html) every month. By switching to a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter, you can remove even more pollen from the air.
