All allergies are miserable, but it seems hay fever is one of those special kinds of allergy that affects many of us.
Originally named because of its correlation with the start of
hay cutting season, hay fever has become the generic term for summer/fall
allergies. If you are one of the unlucky
ones who sneeze through August and September, you know exactly what we’re
talking about here. Popping Benadryl and
plowing through boxes of facial tissues at work is really a pain and it’s not
fun for your co-workers either.
What can you do about your seasonal runny nose at work to
minimize how lousy you feel?
At the office, one of the number one things you can do is
keep your desk and work area clutter free.
The less stuff sitting around for dust to sit on, the less you’ll be
bothered by dust mites and airborne allergens like grass pollen.
Some ideas for helping to de-clutter and reduce office
allergens include:
·
Invest in some file folders to organize all of
those loose papers.
·
Cleaning supplies like Windex and Pledge
Furniture Polish. Pledge even makes
handy little wipes that are easy to toss in a desk drawer for easy and quick
use anytime.
·
Pick up clutter on your floor. Take those books, binders, folders or
whatever else you might having lying on the floor of your cubicle and get them
up and off the carpet. Lorell is one of
our premier office furniture suppliers.
We’re sure you’ll be able to find the right book case for the job.
·
Once everything is organized on and around your
desk, you’ll be able to dust and vacuum effectively.
·
Vacuum at least weekly in your space.
·
Adding an air purifier is also a great
idea. It will pull the allergens
floating around your space out so you sneeze less.
Some allergy seasons are just bad. Be sure to keep a box of nice facial tissues
handy. Chances are you’ll still sneeze
and it’s always good to have a soft tissue on hand.
Hay fever. There’s no
cure, but we hope these tips help reduce how miserable you feel.
