Allergy season came early this year, and if you live in the Bay Area, it tends to pack a double-whammy. Many houses don&#8217;t have air-conditioning, and the very days you want to open the windows for some airflow are the days the pollen can be at its worst. This window screen claims to filter 100% of grass pollen, 99% of birch pollen, and 90% of ragweed. In my completely unscientific test of looking at my iPad charging near the window, before installation, it was speckled with pollen, after it was clean. More importantly, my family&#8217;s stuffy noses cleared up. It cuts down on the light coming through the window a bit, but not to the point where it significantly darkens the room.<\/p>\n<p>The second part of the cool tool is how I installed it. You can do a full replacement of your window screens if you choose, but I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B008DIR5L8\/cooltools-20\">CMS Magnetics Name Badge Magnets<\/a> made putting the screens in temporarily a breeze. Each magnet comes with a metal plate with an adhesive that you can use to anchor the magnet. Or, you can do as I did and just place the plate on the outside of the screen and the magnet on the inside. Voila &#8211; temporary installation. I like the magnets so much I bought a hundred and have found several other places to use them &#8211; cable management, for example. They also help when positioning fabric or paper for gluing &#8211; you can anchor something in place, adjust, then permanently attach it. All in all, they are an even better find than the PollenTec screen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lets air in, stops pollen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26136"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26138,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26136\/revisions\/26138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
