Top 12 Home Remedies for Allergies


Top 12 Home Remedies for Allergies by MSN Health

Minimize clutter

Dried flowers, books, stuffed animals, and other homey touches collect dust and allergens. Try to keep knickknacks in closets or drawers or rid your home of them entirely.

Choose the hot cycle on laundry day

Linens should be washed in water that is at least 130°F to rid them of dust mites and their wastes. To test your water temperature, stop the washer once it's filled and dip a meat thermometer into the water. If you're worried about scalding people by setting your water heater that high, consider taking your bedding to a professional laundry service where you'll be assured that the bedding will be washed at a sufficiently high temperature.
