Easy Ways to Reduce Pet Dander in Your Springdale Home

Easy Ways to Reduce Pet Dander in Your Springdale HomeFor many people, pets are much more than just animals — they’re full-fledged members of the family. Unfortunately, owning a pet can result in more pet dander, which can be irritating to some household members. This is why it’s important to consider the below techniques to reduce pet dander in your home. 

The Annoyance of Dander

If someone in your home suffers from allergies or asthma, there’s a good chance that pet dander can be harmful to them. This is especially true when animals are older and their skin becomes drier. Pet dander is very light, so when an animal sheds, their dander floats through the air for a while before finally settling. Even after it settles, it can easily be disturbed.

Ways to Reduce Pet Dander

Except in extreme cases, the last thing you should do is give away your pet. Instead, try these techniques:

  • Bathe your pet regularly: Giving your pet a bath on a regular basis is the first step you should take to reduce the amount of dander in your home.
  • Use a professional product: There are products on the market that can be rubbed on your pet every week or so to lower the amount of dander he or she releases.
  • Purchase an air purifier: Air purifiers equipped with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter can capture 99.7 percent of allergens in the air, including pet dander.
  • Replace your carpets: Carpets are notorious for holding allergens, which are released into the air when we walk across the floor. Alternate flooring such as wood, laminate, or tile will make it easier to clean up dander that has settled. If you insist on keeping your carpet, purchase a HEPA-equipped vacuum.
