How to keep cedar fever and spring oak pollen out of your Parker County home, with a seasonal cleaning plan that actually helps.
North Texas has pollen almost year round. Here is a seasonal plan that keeps it outside.
Cedar (Ashe juniper) runs roughly December through February and is the worst of the year for many people. Oak and other tree pollen follow in spring. Grass carries through summer, and ragweed finishes the year in the fall.
Shoes off at the door. A doormat outside and a washable rug inside. Change HVAC filters monthly during peak seasons and use a MERV 11 or higher if your system allows it. Keep windows closed on high-count days, which in Parker County means most windy days.
Pollen settles, so dusting with a damp microfiber matters more than vacuuming. Wipe window sills, blinds, and the tops of door frames weekly during cedar season. Wash bedding on hot. Vacuum with HEPA so you are not blowing it back into the room.
Wipe dogs down with a damp towel after they come inside during peak season. Keep them off the bed if someone in the house reacts.
Deep clean in late November before cedar, with attention to vents and fans. Biweekly standard cleans through spring. Deep clean again in early summer once oak pollen is done.
Our deep clean already covers vents, fans, blinds, and sills. Tell us allergies are the concern and we add time on soft surfaces.
We can use fragrance-free products on request.
It does not stop the pollen outside, but reducing what settles indoors reduces how long symptoms last after you come in.
