But there are a few steps you can take that do not require splashing lots of cash.
Here is what you can try . . .
DRY INSIDE: Warm, sunny days are perfect for drying clothes and bedding outside. But it also means that pollen can stick to fabric, triggering allergies once inside.
Check the pollen count and, if high, dry laundry indoors if you can, especially bed linen which will disturb your sleep if covered in pollen.

A clothes hanger in a top-floor bedroom with the windows shut on a sunny day should do the trick.
HOME CHANGE: When you come home after being out, it is worth changing your clothes, which could have picked up pollen. This will prevent allergens being spread around the house.
On days when the pollen count is particularly high, it is a good idea to shower and wash your hair after getting home.
CLEAN UP: To help keep allergies under control, try vacuuming regularly to avoid a build-up of dust and pollen on carpets.

What is hay fever?
Cut down on clutter and clean shelves and other areas where dust builds.
It might be worth putting away rugs that hold on to dust and pollen and opting for bare floors instead if your allergies are playing up.
BEDDING SWITCH: Try to keep pets out of bedrooms as they can carry pollen on their fur.
Wash bedding once a week to help keep it free from allergens.
Vacuuming the mattress and bed frame can get rid of dust and pollen build-up to help you get a restful night’s sleep.
KEEP IT CLOSED: Shut doors and windows when the pollen count is high to help keep pollen from blowing into the home. On warmer days when you need a breeze, a fan can help keep you cool instead.
