Do you suffer from hay fever? This is how you keep the pollen out of your car

Hay fever is more serious than you think. On bad days, with a lot of pollen in the air, hay fever patients can be really sick. In addition, all that sneezing and tickling can even be dangerous. If you have a major attack on the highway, you are already sneezing, with your eyes closed, on your predecessor.

Do you suffer from hay fever? Then stay inside

The best remedy for people with hay fever is to stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed. Too bad it's beautiful sunny weather outside, if you really suffer from that twisted pollen, you stay like a hermit on the couch in front of the TV. But that is not always possible. Sometimes you have to go outside.

Simple measures to keep the car free of pollen

If you go out by car, you can use a number of simple measures to ensure that the interior remains as free as possible from pollen. You cannot completely prevent hay fever, even in the car, but if you follow the instructions below, you will come a long way.

• Replace the filters of the air conditioning and/or the ventilation system regularly;
• Does your car have a pollen filter? Then have it replaced every 15,000 kilometers;
• Close the windows while driving and set the air conditioning to recirculation;
• Regularly wipe the interior with a wet cloth to remove the pollen;
• Put on (sun) glasses while driving, so that the allergens don't get into your eyes as quickly.
