Allergens cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms in people who are prone to them, and around
● Runny or itchy nose
● Watery or itchy eyes
● Breathing problems
● Headache
● Nausea

One way you can protect your family against allergens is by choosing furniture that is easy to clean and hypoallergenic in nature. Here is a guide to help you choose the right furnishings if you have an allergy sufferer living in your home.

Opt for Leather and Vinyl Pieces

Not only do leather or vinyl furniture items look classy and are very easy to clean, they are relatively hypoallergenic in design as well. Allergens are unable to bed inside the material, making it easier to wipe away dust, hair and dander that can irritate allergy sufferer's nasal cavities and lungs.

To preserve leather or vinyl furnishings in the home, keep the material out of the sun and polish the furniture as recommended by your furniture specialist. The sun's rays can crack or fade leather and vinyl, and the brittle cracks can allow allergens inside. Cover your furniture or close curtains to keep the sun at bay.

Opt for Streamlined Pieces

You can still have upholstered furniture in the home while keeping allergy symptoms at bay, you just have to be careful about the styles you choose. Overstuffed upholstery has many crevices for allergens to settle in, so opt for streamlined furniture instead.

Clean your upholstery on a regular basis, using a vacuum to clean each individual cushion and underneath couches and chairs. When you have your carpets and rugs professionally cleaned, have your furniture treated as well.

Opt for Footed Furniture

No matter what type of furniture you choose for the home, footed styles of chairs, couches and tables are best. Allergens are easier to clean out of the raised surface and mold or mildew is less likely to accumulate under furniture pieces that do not touch the floor.

Wooden, metal or plastic foot ends are best for home furnishings as they are easier to clean and so you’ll remove more allergens.

Opt for Foam Fillers

Down is a known allergy trigger, so make sure all cushions and decorative pillows are filled with either foam or cotton instead. If you love the feel and glamour of down-filled furnishings, cover down-filled items with protective plastic and then cover the down and plastic with an outer cover, this way your family will be protected from allergens.

Clean your furniture on a regular basis to keep it as free of dust, hair and other allergens as much as possible. If you have pets, try to keep them off the same furnishings your family uses, this will help keep allergens from embedding in your furniture.
