It is crucial to keep your indoor air quality as clean as can be. Although it cannot be seen with the human eye, you’d be surprised by what is actually in the air you breathe every day. Many factors, such as allergens and dust, can bring on bad air quality. In order to keep you and your family out of possible harm, here are some methods you can improve your indoor air quality.
Check your air filters. The first filter that needs to be checked is your AC filter. They strain out the usual air pollutants. Over time the filters stop doing their job because they are filled. It causes trouble for your air quality and will also wear down your AC system. Other air filters are ones such as your clothes dryer, your kitchen vents, and your vacuum cleaner. You should clean, maintain, and replace these household filters every couple of months.
Keeping your house clean is another way to keep good air quality. Vacuuming the carpets or rugs once a week will help eliminate the trapped dust and particles in the fibers. If you have pets, cleaning the drapes, bedding, and other items that tend to collect allergens will also help the air in your home.
Purchase an air purifier or a dehumidifier. Placing an air purifier in your home can help trap some irritants that could prompt your symptoms. If you position a dehumidifier in damp areas of your home (like your basement) to suppress the growth of mildew. Make sure the bathrooms are also well-ventilated.
