What are the 5 steps to improve indoor air?

1. Ventilation. Open the windows whenever you can. This is the key to get all the bad stuff out of a home.

2. Regular cleaning is very important! If your home has carpeting it actually will act as a filter so those carpets need to be cleaned every four months.

3. Upgrade your filters. Inexpensive furnace filters do nothing to filter the air. Pleated filters clean the air 10x more efficiently and will help you breathe easier. It’s also a good idea to have your ductwork cleaned every 4-5 years. This will help reduce the amount of dust in your home. (Consider: Filtrete Elite Allergen Reduction Filter)

4. Control the indoor pollution. If you have to smoke – do NOT do it indoors! Also, consider using green cleaners in place of chemical based cleaners if you are sensitive to the odor they give off. (Green cleaners to consider: Begley’s Best and Nellie’s All Natural)

5. Consider using room air purifiers and room humidifiers. This will make the spaces more comfortable and eliminate airborne particals that are floating around. You also want to test you home for Radon too. There are test kits available that can help you do just that.
