When allergy season hits, most people focus on air purifiers and medication. But what if one of the biggest culprits is sitting right on your windows? Dust, pollen, and mold can accumulate on windows, sills, and screens—irritating allergies with every breeze or open pane. Regular window cleaning is a simple yet powerful way to reduce allergens and create a healthier indoor space.

How Windows Contribute to Allergens Indoors

Windows act as a filter between the outdoor environment and your home. Over time, they collect:

1. Pollen
   • Trees, grass, and flowers release pollen in spring and fall, which sticks to glass and frames.
2. Dust and Dirt
   • Wind blows particles onto your windows, where they settle and enter your home when windows are opened.
3. Mold Spores
   • Moisture near windows promotes mold growth, especially on neglected sills and seals.
4. Pet Dander and Debris
   • Hair and dander often collect around windowsills, mixing with pollen and dust.

Symptoms Triggered by Dirty Windows

• Sneezing
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Increased asthma symptoms
• Headaches or fatigue indoors

Benefits of Window Cleaning During Allergy Season

1. Reduces Indoor Allergens

• Removing dust, pollen, and mold from glass, tracks, and sills helps purify the air.

2. Improves Ventilation Without Irritation

• Clean windows and screens allow fresh air in—without bringing allergens along for the ride.

3. Creates a Healthier Living Environment

• With fewer irritants in your home, everyone breathes easier—especially allergy sufferers.

4. Supports Other Allergy-Fighting Measures

• Clean windows enhance the effectiveness of air purifiers and HVAC filters.
