Red stu y nose, itchy or watery eyes, and a tickle in the back of your throat that just won’t
go away. Does that sound similar, maybe even like something you are experiencing right
this moment? When you experience these symptoms, the onset of an allergic reaction is
probably occurring and boy can it be a nightmare to deal with, and a real pain (sometimes
literally!). Every day we are surrounded by allergens in our environment, some that may
impact us and our health more severely than others. Our homes can be a breeding ground
for unwarranted allergens as the indoor air collects the allergens found in your home. One
of the biggest home allergens that we must combat is the dreaded and hard to expel mold.

Allergy Remedies for Your Home

Allergens can be oating around your home, infesting your air and making your allergies
start up in full force. When you have mold growing in your home, the mold will begin to
release mold spores into the environment which can be a huge trigger for many people
su ering from allergies. Treating your home’s air of mold allergens can be a hard task to
complete, as mold spores are so tiny and can hide in the most unsuspecting places. Using
an air puri er like the EnviroKlenz Mobile UV System will help to capture and kill
microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores in your air utilizing a high
e ciency ultraviolet germicidal radiation (UVC lights) to kill these organisms. This air
puri cation system uses a two-stage ltration process with a patented earth mineral air
cartridge that removes a broad spectrum of chemicals and odors, as well as a hospital-grade
HEPA lter that removes particulate matter up to 0.3 microns in size. With this air
purification system, you can say goodbye to mold spores in your air for good.
