If you love cats, cat dander could make your life really miserable. If you’re one of the unlucky cat owners who are sensitive to cat dander, then good news, you may not have to give up your pet.

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

1) Don’t let your cat into the bedroom or onto your bed. I know this is difficult 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 sleep. Try to train your pet to recognise your bedroom as a no go zone and you should see immediate improvement.

Also clean your pillow cases, bedsheets and blankets with hot water as often as you can.

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

3) Do you have fabric sofas too? The cloth of the sofa is really conducive for cat dander. Change them with leather sofa sets or wash the fabric as often as possible.

4) Now you need to take a look at 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 good idea to invest in a good air purifier.

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