HOUSTON (CW39) You’re ready for Christmas. The decorations are complete. The food is planned out. The presents are wrapped (almost). And the Tree is up and looks great! But, why are your eyes watering, your nose is running, and you can’t stop sneezing in your home?

CW39 Anchor Sharron Melton talks with Anthony Cruz with AdvantaClean about ways you can avoid “Christmas Tree Syndrome” and still enjoy your Trees, without all the sneeze!
