Daily vacuum-cleaning and clearing dust are a must.  In this way  you can remove most pollen that you take into living space via clothing, hair and pets.

Instead they  better change to even floor cover that is easy to clean. For people that are more contaminated by their allergy it is useful to install an air cleaner with an exchangeable filter system against allergens and fine dust  to make a calm night possible. After a longer stay in nature you better change your clothes and do not store them in your bedroom or living space.Moreover it is advisable to wash laundry more often and dry it  inside the house so pollen do not get the chance to settle in it.
