I read about cat dander problems all the time and it’s really a big deal if you love cats. If you’re one of the unlucky pet owners who have a reaction to cat dander, then great news, you may not have to give away your kitty.
Cat dander are very tiny pieces of cat skin shed by your pet and passed around all over your home. If you have an allergy, here are some ways to minimise your problem:
1) Don’t let your cat into the bedroom or onto your bed. I know this is difficult especially for those who share the bed with the cat, but the close proximity of your body to the bedsheet and pillow means that you’ll be inhaling cat dander whenever you lie on the bed. Try to train your feline friend to know that your bedroom is a no go zone and you should see immediate improvement.
Also clean your blankets, pillow cases and bedsheets with hot water as often as you can.
2) Does your house have carpets? You might want to remove them as cat dander cling on to them and bacteria breeds easily there. If that isn’t possible, give them a good vacuum whenever possible.
3) Do you own fabric sofas too? The cloth of the sofa is really conducive for cat dander. Change them with leather sofa sets or clean the fabric as often as possible.
4) Next you need to check your curtains. If you’re using the heavy fabric ones, cat dander might stick to them easily. You might want to consider curtains of another material or alternatives like blinds.
5) As cat dander can be airborne due to their small size, you have to consider cleaning the air too. It would be a good idea to purchase a good air purifier.
These five simple strategies should help you get started but they are not the only solutions. More information on cat dander can be found at CatDandruffAway.com
