    1.Pollen, from trees, flowers etc. Comes in on your shoes, clothing, and open windows. Take off your shoes and clothes before entering house, and never open windows

    .

    2. Mold spores. Keep everything as dry as possible and clean.

    3. Dust mites. Actually dust mite poop. They thrive everywhere you do. Clean often,steam clean when possible to kill them.

    Pollen makes you ill if you have allergies. Mold spores can give you lung problems. And dust mites are just nasty, but even with proper cleaning they are impossible to get rid of. They love your mattress, but encasing it in plastic helps. Pillowcases too
