I didn’t have hay fever when I was younger, but in a cruel twist of fate (or perhaps because I leave the house more now), I’ve become increasingly susceptible to the fine powder wafted around by plants in recent years. In fact, the sniffles and itchy eyes now seem never-ending, which is why I was intrigued to learn whether it was possible to pollen-proof a home.

Yes, with spring well and truly on the horizon and the pollen count already increasing, it’s fair to say that I’ve been tempted by the call of antihistamines and hay fever tablets countless times already. I’m pre-emptively looking up the best tips for sleeping with hay fever and I’ve already removed the items that make hay fever worse from my home. But I know keeping pollen out of the house for good is a much longer process.
