Allergies aren’t just an outdoor issue. Many common triggers build up inside the home, where we spend most of our time.
Even clean looking spaces can contain invisible airborne allergens that affect breathing, sleep, and overall comfort.
Pollen easily enters the home through open windows, clothing, and pets. Once inside, it settles into carpets, bedding, and soft furnishings, where everyday movement can disturb it and reintroduce it into the air. This often causes symptoms to linger well beyond pollen season.
Sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and night-time coughing are common signs of indoor pollen exposure.
Pet dander is made up of microscopic skin particles and proteins that stay airborne for long periods. These particles spread throughout the home even into rooms pets don’t enter and can trigger breathing discomfort, nasal irritation, and itchy skin.
Household dust contains fibres and allergens, including dust mites that thrive in mattresses, pillows, and carpets. When disturbed, these particles become airborne and are easily inhaled, particularly at night while sleeping.
Indoor allergens tend to build up due to limited ventilation, circulate repeatedly in enclosed spaces, and concentrate overnight when windows are closed. As a result, symptoms can feel persistent rather than seasonal.
