Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 14, 2014 -- Spring is peak allergy season all around the United States. While many people are relishing in the warm weather, blossoming trees and chance to run around barefoot in the grass, allergy sufferers are holed up inside as though they're battling a storm. This storm is not the variety of rain or snow, it's all the allergens that are blowing around in the air both outside and in the home.

Dr. Sanjay Jain has shared five ways in which the average person can better rid their home of cough- and sneeze-inducing allergens.

Even the most immaculate homes have dust mites hiding out under the carpets, furniture and on the pets. While there's no way to eliminate the allergens that plague millions of people, there are ways in which to minimize the allergens so people who suffer from these microscopic organisms suffer less. Author of Optimal Living 360: Smart Decision Making for a Balanced Life, Dr. Sanjay Jain has shared five ways in which the average person can better rid their home of cough- and sneeze-inducing allergens:

• Wash the bedding weekly. Getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night means that many people spend a third of their life in bed, the hiding place of choice for dust-mites. Pillows, mattresses and box springs should be encased in covers that are dust-mite-proof, and wiped down regularly. Blankets, comforter covers, sheets and pillowcases should be washed weekly in water that is at least 130-degrees Fahrenheit, and comforters and pillows should be placed in a sunny spot for several hours in order to kill any dust mites. For those who can't put up with bedding made of natural materials such as wool and feathers, consider switching to synthetic, hypoallergenic bedding.

• Keep pets out of the bedroom. This is certainly easier said than done for most pet owners, but a person who is sensitive to the pet dander is constantly in close contact with the pet, including sharing a bed, the allergies may worsen. At minimum, make the bed a pet-free zone and try to establish boundaries so that the animal stays away form that part of the home as much as possible.

• Leave doors and windows closed. Spring breezes, filled with wonderful floral scents, seem lovely, but in fact they're bringing pollen and dust into the home. Consider a no-open-window policy and instruct all family members to close the door quickly upon entering the house.

• Maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels. Dust mites and mold like hot, humid homes, so it's best to keep the temperature set between 68- and 72-degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity level should hover around 50-percent. During seasons when heating and cooling systems are in use, be sure to clean and replace the small-particle filters monthly.

• Use an air purifier. Investing a bit of cash into a high-quality HEPA air purifier can reap high dividends when it comes to reducing the number of allergens in the home. A good purifier will remove irritants such as bacteria, smoke, mold, pet dander and viruses as it filters through about 80-percent of the air several times an hour.
