While we\u2019re still in the middle of winter, spring will soon be just around the corner. It\u2019s the season that dominates with allergies and usually makes it difficult for asthma and allergy sufferers to stay comfortable both indoors and outdoors. <\/span><\/p>\n

While you don\u2019t have any control over the outdoors, you can make your home as comfortable as possible, whether you\u2019re the one that suffers from seasonal discomfort or you have children that begin sneezing as soon as dust piles up around the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the best window treatments to reduce allergens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood Blinds & Shutters<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Wood is a completely natural material. Most importantly, it\u2019s a hard surface that can easily be wiped down with a cloth or dusted with a feather duster. Wood blinds<\/span><\/a> offer ample light, while still giving you light, temperature and privacy control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Faux Wood Blinds & Shutters<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Faux wood blinds<\/a><\/span> and shutters are a more budget-friendly alternative to real wood window treatments. Hard surfaces like these attract much less dust than soft fabric-made window treatments and are easy to keep clean on a regular basis, requiring nothing out of the ordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vertical Blinds<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Vertical blinds<\/a><\/span> allow less dust to collect as dust, debris, allergens or pollen from plants and flowers don\u2019t have the chance to settle, usually sliding right off. They are very easy to keep clean, requiring just a vacuum or a duster. To avoid allergens collecting over a longer period of time, they\u2019re easy to wipe down with a slightly dampened washcloth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roller Shades<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

When roller shades<\/span><\/a> are drawn up, they don\u2019t collect any dust, making them a great choice for homes where dust and allergens are a concern. They\u2019re flat, easy to keep clean and easy to wipe down with a damp washcloth every once in a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

Composite Shutters<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Composite shutters are made of a hard material that doesn\u2019t collect dust and is easy to keep clean, much like wood and faux wood window treatments Vancouver.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blinds to Avoid<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Any window treatments crafted from soft fabrics that drape or layer are a no-no for allergy sufferers.<\/span><\/p>\n
