It’s spring! Do you know how we know that? Besides looking at the calendar, we know because our eyes are itchy, our noses are running, and the air is, frankly, trying to kill us slowly by way of sneezing to death. Thank goodness for allergy meds… and tissues! Anyway, we believe that your vehicle should absolutely be a bastion of safety from allergens, which unfortunately includes a little more than every-so-often cleaning. Check out our tips for making your car as allergen-free as possible and rest assured that there will only be a few more months (well, more than a few, but we’re optimistic) of sneezy weather before we’re back to the season of no outdoor allergies!

The first tip is to vacuum your vehicle frequently. This is the best way to get allergens out of the air! Get all the soft surfaces and air vents really good, and then just go over everything else thoroughly while you’re at it.

Wipe down all the hard surfaces in your vehicle with a damp microfiber cloth or automotive dusting wipes to get any accumulated dust and pollen outta there.

A good idea is to keep a bottle of allergen-reducing spray in the car. Not only will it keep any particles from floating around as much, but it’ll also make your vehicle smell nice and fresh!

Finally, you should take a look at your cabin air filter. Your owner’s manual will have instructions on how to access this, and at any rate, we can do it for you! This is important for filtering out dust and pollen that come into your vehicle, and if it hasn’t been changed in a while then it’s probably not doing its best work.

 

Of course, some allergens will always slip through the cracks so keep some tissues handy and some Benadryl in the glove box!
