I hear 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 have an allergy to cat dander, then great news, you may not have to give away your kitty.

Cat dander are microscopic pieces of cat skin shed by your pet and propagated 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 the bed. I know this is difficult especially for those who share the bed with the cat, but the close distance 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 recognise your bedroom as out of bounds and you should see immediate improvement.

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

2) Do you have carpets in your home? You may want to remove them as cat dander cling on to them and bacteria breeds easily there. If that isn’t possible, vacuum your carpets 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 regularly.

4) Now you need to examine your curtains. If you have the heavy fabric ones, cat dander might stick to them easily. You might want to change them to another material or alternatives like blinds.

5) As cat dander spread by the air due to their small size, you have to look into cleaning the air too. It would be a great idea to purchase a good air purifier.

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