Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Reducing Cat Dander--5 Steps That Will Reduce Cat Dander Problems

The protein in cat dander can be a huge problem
for those who are allergic to it. Though
invisible, this airborne allergen can cause
unpleasant symptoms that often signal the onset
of asthma and allergy flare-ups. Here are 5
things you can do to reduce the amount of cat
dander in your home.

1. Clean Vertical and Horizontal Surfaces--Dander
is sticky stuff so it is able to cling to most
anything. Regularly wiping walls and horizontal
surfaces can greatly reduce dander. Using a damp
cloth to wipe walls, windows, doors and other
vertical surfaces is a good idea. Wash the cloth
that you used immediately so that the dander is
eliminated for good.

2. Groom Your Cat-Many people think that cat hair
is the problem when really the millions of pieces
of shedding hair help the dander spread. So
controlling the amount of hair loose hair will
help.

Talk with your veterinarian to create a bath
schedule that is the right frequency for your
cat. Bathing to often can dry out the skin and
ultimately create even more dander production.
Brush your cat regularly to remove excess hair,
and if possible do it outside of your living
space for obvious reasons.

3. Opt for Cleanable Surfaces-Vertical blinds,
shades, and shutters are much easier to remove
cat dander from than curtains. Likewise washable
slip covers, leather, or other fabrics that wipe
down easier make living with a cat and its dander
easier to deal with.

Vinyl, linoleum, or tiled flooring rather than
carpet is easier to damp mop as well. And while
this shift in decor may need to be a gradual one,
it's much more doable if you keep these cleaning
solutions in mind.

4. Vacuum Frequently-Removing the dander with a
vacuum that has a filter that is capable of
trapping the dander without releasing them into
the air again will help remove it from horizontal
surfaces such as upholstered furniture, hardwood
or carpeted floors. One with a HEPA filter will
yield the best results.

5. Filter Your Air-Some cat dander will still go
into your air even you follow all of the
suggestions above. Using a purifier with a high
efficiency particle arresting (abbreviated as
HEPA) filter will work 24 hours a day.

Constantly removing the dander that your cat will
continue to produce for as long as you have it
will help immediately. Dander cannot be
eliminated 100 percent, but this systematic and
varied approach can mean the difference between
being able to live with a cat or not.
