TREAT Yourself To New Blinds By Avoiding These TRICKS
October 17, 2024It’s that time of year when many of us are hit with fall allergies, but new shutters can actually help your symptoms! From coughing to runny noses and more, window treatments might just be the over-the-counter remedy you didn’t know existed. Yes, you can fight back against seasonal allergies in the home, as shutters can actually help prevent those pesky pollens!
Blocking Out Irritants
It’s fall, so that means the temptation to have windows open to let fresh air in is high. And while cool breezes are lovely, you are also giving allergens easy access to your home. Without a line of defense from the window into your house, allergens such as pollen and spores float on in and land just about anywhere. But with shutters, you have another barrier to trap those pollutants! Plus, they still allow for fresh breezes to waft in. You can keep clean, fall air flowing in throughout your home without sacrificing your privacy – and without sneezing your head off.
Keeping Things Clean
And once those pollens are settled on shutters, it is just a matter of simply wiping them away. While fabric curtains trap and hold onto irritants, shutters have smooth, wipeable surfaces that allow you to easily clean them off before they become ingrained throughout your home.
It’s not just pollens that cause allergies. Pet hair and dander can also irritate and cause flair-ups. The good news is that those things are just as easy to clean off as shutters, too.
Shutters Are A Friend To The Allergy-Prone
If you suffer from allergies or dread your stuffy nose in the fall (but still want to have open windows), shutters may be your best compromise. You’ll be able to still have the breezes you crave but with less offending allergens.
