If you’ve been sneezing long after the spring blossoms faded, you’re not imagining things. Allergy season used to have a beginning and an end: tree pollen in early spring, grass in summer, ragweed in fall. But today, the “season” seems endless. From March through October, itchy eyes, runny noses, and scratchy throats are sticking around longer than ever.
Why? Shifting climate patterns are giving pollen more staying power, and for allergy sufferers, that means more weeks of discomfort. Understanding why allergy seasons are changing can help you take smarter steps to make your home a place of relief, not another source of irritation.
Why Allergy Season Lasts Longer Now
Allergy season is no longer just a springtime inconvenience. According to a 2025 Climate Central report, allergy seasons in many U.S. cities are now several weeks longer than they were just a few decades ago. Here’s why:
- Warmer temperatures extend the growing season. Plants stay active longer, releasing pollen well into fall.
- Rising carbon dioxide levels fuel plants to produce more pollen overall.
- Geographic shifts spread allergies to new areas, with northern U.S. cities now experiencing longer seasons.
The result? A bigger pollen problem nearly everywhere, affecting people who may not have struggled with allergies before.
How Climate Change Intensifies Environmental Allergies
Climate change doesn’t just lengthen the season. It makes it stronger, too. Higher pollen counts mean more exposure, and overlapping allergy seasons create double or triple the triggers. Tree pollen blends into grass season, which collides with ragweed. Instead of relief between cycles, allergy sufferers now experience back-to-back-to-back irritants.
For people with asthma or respiratory sensitivities, this extended exposure can be especially dangerous. The American Lung Association notes that worsening allergies can impact lung health and overall quality of life.

The Indoor Connection: Homes Matter More Than Ever
It’s natural to think that staying inside is the best way to escape pollen. But allergens don’t stop at your front door. Pollen particles hitch a ride on shoes, pets, clothing, and even hair. Once indoors, they settle into fabrics, carpets, furniture, and HVAC systems — places where they can linger for weeks.
That means even if your windows are closed, allergens may still be circulating in your home. For many families, the very place that should feel safe and refreshing can become another source of allergy symptoms.
PUREcleaning®: A Modern Solution for Allergen Removal
This is where Maid Brigade makes a difference. Our PUREcleaning® system is designed to remove allergens that build up in your home without exposing your family to harsh chemicals. Using electrolyzed water and non-toxic cleaning solutions, our team deep cleans both hard and soft surfaces while our advanced HEPA vacuum systems trap particles that ordinary vacuums leave behind.
We tidy up and actively create a healthier indoor environment by:
- Lifting allergens out of carpets, rugs, and upholstery.
- Neutralizing irritants on kitchen counters, floors, and other high-touch surfaces.
- Refreshing the air with HEPA filtration that captures dust, dander, and pollen particles.
For families worn down by months of allergy symptoms, PUREcleaning® is more than a cleaning service. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Practical Tips for Allergen Removal at Home
While professional cleaning offers the deepest defense against allergens, simple habits can help, too. Here are a few ways to support a healthier home during the prolonged allergy season:
- Vacuum frequently with a HEPA vacuum to reduce allergens in carpets and upholstery.
- Wash bedding weekly in hot water to remove pollen and dust mites.
- Change air filters often, especially during high-pollen months.
- Leave shoes at the door to keep pollen from being tracked inside.
- Wipe down hard surfaces regularly where dust and pollen can collect.
These steps, combined with Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning®, can help reduce allergy triggers and make your home a sanctuary again.
