Pine pollen season is not over yet. Yeah, that yellow stuff that's all over everything. Try these tips to make the next week or two more comfortable:
✦ Check your HVAC filter and change it if it's clogged. Use the highest MERV rated filter that fits your system.
✦ Either open your windows or close them. Cracking them slightly can actually increase air velocity, pulling more pollen in instead of less.
✦ If you want to keep your windows open more often, the best times are after it rains and after sunset when the air tends to be more still.
✦ Dust with damp microfiber cloths instead of rags. They're trap and hold fine pollen more effectively.
