How to prepare yourself for allergies indoors

Fun fact: indoor allergens like mould, pet dander and dust mites are harmless until your immune system decides to be a drama queen and overreact to them. When your body gets a whiff of these allergens it can release a chemical called histamine that sparks annoying symptoms like sneezing and itchiness. Luckily, Zyrtec provides powerful, fast-acting relief from indoor allergens. Rhinocort Extra Strength is a nasal spray that prevents and relieves hayfever and allergy symptoms with powerful relief from 24 hours. Your home may be spick and span, but unseen mould spores, dander from your pet and mites can be lurking in the air or embedded in fabrics waiting to provoke your allergies.

Tips and tricks: It's recommended you wash your curtains and bedding regularly, as that is where dust mites lurk; vacuum all carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture too; and make sure your shower is well ventilated to prevent mildew and agitating mould spores from forming. Next time you feel a mid-clean allergy bout coming on you can take Zyrtec for super-fast relief. Take Rhinocort ahead of time for prevention and relief so you can be prepared and clean with control and confidence.

Spending more quality time chilling out and having mates over to your home can be impinged upon by allergies. If you're planning an elaborate dinner party or ordering big for a social pizza fest at home, you'll want to make sure your pesky allergies don't flare up once your guests arrive. But if your idea of relaxation involves more of a fragrant bubble-filled tub, a glass of wine and a muscle tension-relieving playlist of soothing songs you're also at risk of an allergy interruption. Having a Zyrtec on hand is a fab idea for fast-acting relief when the allergies strike, letting you get back to your hangout or luxe bath in no time. And Rhinocort is a great choice for relieving the pesky symptoms that can keep arising when you're bumming around the house – letting you binge some telly and chill in peace.

Tips and tricks: Mould loves nothing more than a moist environment so to avoid spores swirling around while you're trying to unwind in the tub make sure you scrub your bathroom surfaces thoroughly and all potential leaks are accounted for. And if you're tackling the big clean-up after having mates over, remember to clean your sink, seal your leftovers properly and do the dishes sooner rather than later.
