Allergies and hay fever affecting your sleep? Here are some practical tips to improve your sleep quality:

➡️Keep the temperature in your bedroom between 16c and 18c
➡️Remove flowers from bedrooms (opt for artificial plants instead)
➡️Wash duvet covers and pillowcases regularly at a high temperature (this kills mites and removes mite faeces)
➡️If hot washing is not possible, 24 hours in the freezer will kill any mites in a pillow prior to a cold wash
➡️Leave your duvet turned back during the day
➡️Avoid drying clothes on radiators in the bedroom
➡️If you can, take your mattress outside for a good airing and then replace it upside-down and opposite-ways-round to its previous positioning
➡️Clean the base with a soft brush to remove fluff and dust – if you have to use a vacuum cleaner do so very carefully and with the window wide open
➡️While the bed is moved out from any walls, vacuum thoroughly under and around the bed – it can yield huge amounts of dust and fluff
➡️Severe reaction to pollen? Consider a mechanical ventilator – fans which bring in fresh air through pollen filters
