Swordfish UV Shares New Tips On Allergy Proofing Your Home

Online, May 7, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Homeowners can improve the quality of their indoor air with effective tips from Swordfish UV, leader in UV air treatment systems. The tips are designed to help people prepare their homes for the oncoming allergy and asthma season, and to reduce the amount of airborne pollutants that are often found in the home. By proofing their homes, allergy and asthma sufferers can avoid breathing problems caused by dust-mites, molds, viruses, and bacteria.

While warmer winters can be a welcome relief from the bitter cold, they can also cause more intense allergy and asthma symptoms in the spring. This is because the warmer weather encourages plants and trees to produce pollen sooner. Experts agree that indoor air is often over 50 percent more polluted than outdoor air.
And, those who suffer from indoor/outdoor allergies should prepare their home to be a safe haven from any form of trigger. The key factor is to recognize what you are allergic to and then to take proactive measures to help relieve your symptoms.

Allergy proofing your home should be a part of your daily routine. People can decrease their risk of allergies and asthma attacks by following these simple tips presented by Swordfish UV:

• Identify source of allergies - this can be done through taking allergy tests

• Replace carpet with wood or tile flooring

• Keep dust at a minimum with regular cleaning

• Keep moist areas, such as your bathroom, as dry as possible

• Use dust-proof covers for pillows, mattresses and box springs (zippered cases are recommended)

• Use an UV air treatment system to remove pollutants

In addition to these tips, Lou Manfredi, the host of "House Smarts" showed people on NBC's "Today Show" how they can decrease the amount of air pollutants by replacing filters and using air purifiers and UV air treatment systems. The segment can be viewed here: http://www.today.com/video/today/51332402#51332402. One of Lou's tips included the use of UV technology - Swordfish UV Air Treatment Systems - to alleviate allergy and asthma symptoms by eliminating harmful triggers at the source.

What makes Swordfish UV Air Treatment Systems unique is the combination of ultraviolet technology (previously only used in hospitals) and energy efficient ballasts, with smart chip technology. The ultraviolet light has been proven to kill harmful, airborne microorganisms, including fungi, molds, dust mites, bacteria, and viruses, resulting in healthier and cleaner indoor air. The company makes a system for the whole home that easily and quickly mounts to the duct work of your warm air furnace or above your air conditioning coil to eliminate mold and bacteria, as well as a portable system that is ideal for individual rooms, condos or mobile homes.
