Easy Ways to Keep Your Car Allergy-Free for a Healthier Spring Drive

As Burnaby blossoms with spring, those prone to allergies might find their Volvo's cabin becoming a source of discomfort. Pollen, dust, and other allergens can infiltrate your vehicle, turning your daily drive into a sneezing, itchy experience. Fortunately, simple steps can create a healthier, more comfortable environment inside your Volvo.

Understanding In-Car Allergens:

Spring brings a surge of pollen, which easily enters through open windows and ventilation systems. Pet dander, if you travel with animals, and mould, which thrives in damp environments, also contribute to in-car allergies.

Simple Strategies for an Allergy-Free Volvo:

1. Regular Interior Cleaning:
• Vacuum Thoroughly: Use a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum to eliminate dust, pollen, and pet dander from carpets, seats, and crevices.
• Wipe Down Surfaces: Clean the dashboard, steering wheel, and door panels with a damp microfiber cloth to remove surface allergens.
2. Air Filtration:
• Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Volvo's advanced climate control systems rely on cabin air filters. Replace these regularly, especially during allergy season, with high-quality filters designed to trap pollen and allergens.
• Ventilation Management: Utilize the recirculation feature to minimize outside air intake during high pollen periods.
3. Moisture Control:
• Dry Mats and Upholstery: Ensure floor mats and upholstery are completely dry to prevent mould growth.
• Avoid Food and Drink Spills: Promptly clean up spills to avoid creating a breeding ground for mould and bacteria.
4. Minimize Allergen Introduction:
• Pet Management: If travelling with pets, use seat covers and regularly clean the interior to minimize dander.
• Window Management: Limit window openings during peak pollen times.
