1. Shut Out Breeze: As hard as it is to close your window on a beautiful, sunny day- it may be a great way to reduce pollen from entering your home
2. Wash: Every time you step out and reenter your home, you bring in residue from the outdoors- to minimize this, wash clothes, skin, hair after a day spent outdoors and leave your shoes at the door
