Prepare your screened porch for pollen with these anti-pollen tips!
Pollen season is rolling around again. If you have been sniffling and sneezing because of the emerging allergens but want to spend time outdoors, a screened porch won’t help much unless you have specific anti-pollen strategies in place. Keep pollen out of your screened porch with these old and new methods!
Old and New Ways to Keep Pollen Out of Your Screened Porch
Clean Regularly
One of the surest ways to keep pollen out of your screened porch is to clean it regularly. It is the most affordable way to ensure your screened porch is clean and pollen-free. You can clean it by dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, hosing down the windows, and mopping the floor.
Use Door Mats
You can also minimize how much dirt and pollen get into your screened porch by placing a door mat outside the exterior screened porch entrance. You can place one outside and one inside the entrance.
Use an Air Curtain or Misting System
The majority of the pollen will likely come through the screened windows, though. Two possible methods to limit how much dirt and pollen get into the area are to use an air curtain or a misting system. You might have felt an air curtain outside commercial entrances. These overhead systems either blow air or dispense water mist away from the structure’s edges.
Install Anti-Pollen Screens
Anti-pollen screens are specialized mesh window screens designed to keep pollen out of screened porches. These screens still let fresh air into your screened porch. They are not pollen-proof, but they reduce entry significantly.
Use Air Purifiers
An air purifier can remove pollen immediately in the vicinity. You can use an air purifier for pollen in your screened porch and your home.
Insulate the Screened Porch
Check your screened porch for structural leaks. After that, you can also limit pollen by attaching solid screens over the mesh windows. They don’t have to be fancy; they can attach with velcro or magnets. On the other hand, you could also use the Eze-Breeze sliding panels.
