Install a HEPA filter to your furnace and air conditioner to capture mold, dust mites, and pollen.

This includes vacuuming area rugs, carpeting, upholstered furniture, washing sheets, pillows, and other bedding regularly will keep pollen, dust mites, and other allergens away.
Pay Attention to Your Pet

Consider adding a free-standing air filter to your home.
