Cat dander is one of the most common issues affecting cat owners and can make your life really miserable. If you’re one of the unlucky pet owners who are allergic to cat dander, then good news, you may not have to give up your feline friend.

Cat dander are very tiny pieces of cat skin shed by your pet and spread all over your home. If you are allergic to them, here are some ways to minimise your problem:

1) Don’t let your kitty into the bedroom or onto your bed. I know this is difficult especially for those who share the bed with the cat, but the close distance of your body to the bedsheet and pillow means that you’ll be breathing in cat dander whenever you lie on the bed. Try to train your kitty to recognise your bedroom as out of bounds and you should see immediate improvement.

Also clean your pillow cases, bedsheets and blankets with hot water as much as possible.

2) Are there carpets in your home? You might want to remove them as cat dander cling on to them and bacteria breeds easily there. If that isn’t possible, give them a good vacuum whenever possible.

3) Same for fabric sofas. The cloth of the sofa is really conducive for cat dander. Change them with leather sofa sets or clean the fabric regularly.

4) Next you need to take a look at your curtains. If you’re using the heavy fabric ones, cat dander might stick to them easily. You might want to change them to another material or alternatives like blinds.

5) As cat dander spread by the air due to their tiny size, you have to look into cleaning the air too. It would be a great idea to purchase a good air purifier.

These 5 basic tips are a good start though by no way are they the only solutions. More cat dander information can be found at CatDandruffAway.com
