Keep the pollen outside

Pollen levels can rise rapidly with the return of the sun. Ash trees are currently in bloom, and the pollen from birch trees, which is particularly allergenic, will soon follow.

Around one in five people in Switzerland is affected by a pollen allergy.

Products bearing the Allergy Seal of Quality, such as pollen screens and air filters, can help reduce indoor pollen levels. For a better quality of life.

Good sleep is crucial

13 March is World Sleep Day – a good opportunity to think about the quality of our sleep. After all, successful days start with restful nights! Sleep hygiene plays a crucial role. SWISSFEEL supports the hotel industry with a special washing process certified by Service Allergie Suisse that removes mites, mite faeces and other impurities.

However, products with the Allergy Seal of Quality can also help at home: Mite- and allergen-proof fitted sheets, as well as pillowcases and duvet covers, create an allergen-free sleeping environment – ​​for restful sleep.

Skin friendly spring clean

The days are getting longer again and when the sun shines, it relentlessly shows us the dirt on the window panes and the dust on shelves and floors. Time for a big spring-clean! Cleaning products that do not contain any of the 81 allergenic compounds are well tolerated by your sensitive skin. It is best to use products with the Allergy Seal of Quality.

The advantage for restful sleep

Encasing, mite-proof covers applied early on provides effective protection against house dust mite allergens, even before their concentration rises sharply in the warm season. As mites reproduce particularly rapidly in warm and humid conditions, the cover prevents allergens from accumulating in mattresses and pillows right from the start.

This can alleviate typical allergic symptoms such as coughing, sneezing or itchy eyes at an early stage. Early use is particularly advisable as the allergen load in bedding reaches its peak after the summer, usually in autumn. (Source: Journal of Medical Entomology, Volume 20, Issue 1, L.G. Arlian, P.J.
