Using a HEPA filter in the roomsin your home where you spend the most time can help remove most airborne particles that tend to aggravate allergies. However, particles suspended in air are not the only ones of concern in your home. There are an abundance of dust and dirt particles in your rugs, bedding, and drapes, and covering counter tops and tabletops. Keeping these areas clean is imperative. It's also important, when possible, to get rid of the source of allergens and irritants. For example, the most effective way to keep tobacco smoke out of your home is to not smoke.
