I read about cat dander problems very often and it’s really a big deal if you love cats. If you’re one of the unfortunate cat owners who have a reaction to cat dander, then great 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 have an allergy, here are some ways to minimise your problem:

1) Don’t let your kitty into the bedroom or onto the 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 blankets, pillow cases and bedsheets with hot water as much as possible.

2) Does your home 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, vacuum your carpets whenever you have the time.

3) Do you have fabric sofas too? The cloth of the sofa is really conducive for cat dander. Replace them with leather sofa sets or clean the fabric regularly.

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 change them to another material or alternatives like blinds.

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

These five basic 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
