Quick Home Fixes

In this video we’ll share quick home fixes for rainy-season asthma and reveal the single habit that makes the biggest difference for your lungs.

Indoor Triggers

When the monsoon makes the air damp, mould spreads on walls, cupboards and bathroom corners, while dust mites thrive in pillows, mattresses and carpets, turning your home into an allergy hotspot.

Ventilate Daily

Open windows on opposite sides for fifteen to twenty minutes whenever it isn’t pouring, and run a fan to push fresh air through; this simple breath of dry air cuts down spores and dust.

Mould Safety

First locate any leaks, blocked gutters or roof cracks and repair them, then let a healthy person clean the mould with gloves, a snug mask, windows open, and never mix bleach with other cleaners.

Dust-Mite Control

Wash all sheets, pillowcases and blankets weekly in water at sixty degrees Celsius, tumble-dry them fully, and use a damp cloth to wipe window sills and bathroom tiles before moisture settles.

Sleep Smarter

Pick the driest bedroom for the asthma-prone person, keep the bed at least a hand-width away from the wall, and clear any boxes or piles of clothes beneath it to reduce dust buildup.

Hot Wash Temperature

Washing bedding at sixty degrees Celsius each week kills dust mites and removes allergens, and drying them completely prevents any lingering moisture that could invite mould growth.

Inhaler Basics

Stick to the inhaler schedule your doctor gave, know which one opens airways quickly and which calms swelling over time, have a professional check your technique, and always keep a reliever within reach on rainy days.
