Allergy Drops

Want to get rid of your pesky allergies but don’t want allergy shots? Allergy drops have been used for over 100 years and are a great alternative. The drops can be taken at home to avoid clinic visits and can be administered to patients as young as two years old.

Allergy Shots

If you are exploring the possibility of receiving allergy shots, there are a few things you should be aware of. There are around three phases of allergy shots that include:

Initial Phase: Allergy shot treatment begins with an escalating dose of allergens per each shot.
Maintenance Phase: Patients will receive a maintenance shot every week for one year.
After the first year: After the first year, patients normally receive injections around every 3-6 weeks.

Allergy shots require a lot of work, and it’s best to speak with Texan Allergy and Sinus Center prior to making a decision.

Balloon Sinuplasty

Balloon Sinuplasty is a less-invasive option compared to other procedures. So how does it work? A tiny balloon will remodel the opening of your sinus cavity which allows them to drain and ventilate. Talk to the team at Texan Allergy Center to explore this option more.

Spring Cleaning Tips with AMLI West Plano Village

It’s Spring time, and we all know what that means; Spring Cleaning! Now that Winter is over and Summer is almost here, it’s time to deep clean all the Winter nasties out of your apartment or house. We explore some Spring Cleaning tips with our favorite apartments, AMLI West Plano.

Wash Your Windows

Typical year-round window wiping involves cleaning just the inside of the panes because it’s faster than wiping down both the inside and outside of your windows. However, since inside-wiping can only do so much, and spring cleaning is meant to be an annual deep-clean, now is the time to clean both the inside and the outside. Getting off those outer smudges will improve your quality of life more than you could anticipate. TIP: to avoid hot sun drying up the cleaner before you can finish wiping, wait to do the windows until a cloudy, overcast day.

Revamp your Refrigerator

Once again, spring should be a time to scrub both the inside and the outside of your fridge! TIP for cleaning inside your fridge: Pull out all shelving and scrub with warm, sudsy water; wipe down what can’t be removed from inside the fridge thoroughly with a sponge. Replace the shelves.

Oomph-Up Your Oven

Spring is a great time to deep clean the accumulated charred bits inside your oven … Because who needs that giving your meals undesired extra flavoring? You especially need to do this (whether it’s spring time or not) if you smell something burning every time you use your oven. TIP: Chip off, collect and discard loose bits of burned-on gunk inside the oven with an old knife you don’t mind dulling. Spray with ammonia any bits that can’t be chipped off, let stand, and re-chip or scrub. Sprinkle baking soda and white vinegar onto the oven’s bottom, allow to bubble up, and wipe the rest of the grime away using a sponge.

If you are looking for a new apartment for the Spring, look no further than West Plano Village apartments, AMLI West Plano.
