For a good number of the American population, allergies in the spring and summer are a real issue. Sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchiness EVERYWHERE… those are just part and parcel of being allergic to the outside. Luckily, we’ve got solutions for you when it comes to ridding your vehicle of allergens, because it’s always nice to be able to get away from the troubles of the world and just go for a drive… without having to sneeze every thirty seconds.

First of all, vacuum your car often. Take a few minutes every weekend to just go over the vents, the floormats, and the seats. Pollen and dust can really settle into soft surfaces, so try to get rid of it as quickly as you can. Just one vacuum can make a noticeable difference, not only in the allergy department but in the cleanliness department as well!

Keep a bottle of allergen-reducing spray in the car. Febreze makes a great one that works quite well and keeps any pollen and dust that get into your car at bay between vacuums. It also has the added bonus of keeping your vehicle smelling great!

Take a minute and have a look at your cabin air filter. Chances are that it hasn’t been changed in a while, and when it gets full of junk your allergies can start to suffer. Your owner’s manual will be able to tell you how to find it, and if you need help changing it just give us a call and we’ll take care of it for you!

Finally, there are some allergens that will absolutely sneak in through the cracks. Keep tissues handy, and remember to take your allergy meds. But if you follow our advice, you should be able to be sneeze-free all spring and summer!
