If you are suffering from cat allergy and cant stay away from the source —i.e. cats themselves, because of your love for these animals or worse still because your child or partner loves them and sending the cat away would mean a war situation in the house.
Well, do not worry; cat allergens are manageable even with the pets at home. These allergens are air bound, and because of their small size stay for a long time in the air.
That means you will react to them only if you inhale them. Here are some points, which will help you keep the air clean of these cat allergens.
1) Keep the cats off your bed, talk about this to your partner and explain it to him/her that it is necessary and important for you. They wouldn’t deny you.
2) Make sure that the cat stays away from your room. Your partner who loves cats will be mad at you for this, but kindly bear up cause you cannot go around the house sneezing every two minutes.
3) Wash your clothes; bed sheets etc in hot water, steaming up the laundry also, will be a great option.
4) Buy a good air purifier device, which keeps the air clean from any kind of allergens.
5) Vacuum clean your house as often as you can.
6) Wash your hands after petting the cat and do not rub your eyes after petting the animal.
7) There is a new brand of liquid called Allerpet that is come out in the market, which when applied on the cats coat helps get rid of allergens.
8) Confine your cats to a particular area of your house and do not step into that area.
Keep these points in mind and implement them, this way you wouldn’t have to get rid of the cat and also wouldn’t be suffering from any kind of cat allergy.
