Five Strategies to Improve Your Cat Dander Problem

I read about cat dander problems very often and it’s really sad if you love cats. If you’re one of the unlucky pet owners who are allergic to cat dander, then great news, you may not have to give away your feline friend.

Cat dander are very tiny pieces of cat skin shed by your pet and propagated all over your home. If you are allergic to them, here are some ways to minimise the problem:

1) Don’t let your kitty into the bedroom or onto your bed. I know this is tough 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 out of bounds and you should see some improvement.

Also clean your pillow cases, bedsheets and blankets with hot water as much as possible.

2) Does your house have carpets? You may want to throw them out as cat dander stick on to them and bacteria breeds easily there. If that isn’t an option, give them a good vacuum whenever possible.

3) Ditto for fabric sofas. The cloth of the sofa is really conducive for cat dander. Replace them with leather sofa sets or wash the fabric as often as possible.

4) Now you need to examine your curtains. If you own 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 tiny size, you have to look into cleaning the air too. It would be a great idea to invest in a good air purifier.

These 5 simple strategies are a good start though by no way are they the only solutions. More cat dander resources can be found at CatDandruffAway.com
