These quick and simple tasks are guaranteed to keep the air in your home clean and clear in between professional cleanings:
- Keep your filters changed. On average, the filter in your HVAC system should be replaced every one to three months, depending on the size of your home and the season. Here in Virginia, pollen counts tend to be high, and dust accumulates quickly, so it’s a wise choice to do it monthly. This reduces the amount of debris that ends up in your ducts, and by extension, your lungs.
- Clear the entrances and exits. The vents located throughout your home accumulate a lot of allergens, dust and dander over time. To keep the air quality in your home in a better state, be sure to pop the vents open and clear the area around the vent thoroughly. A strong vacuum does wonders here.
- Dust and vacuum regularly. Removing standing dust and dander from your home entirely is an excellent method of keeping your air clean and clear. Make it a weekly tasks to dust, sweep and vacuum all surfaces. Pay particular attention to fabrics like carpets, drapes and cloth furniture.
- Control moisture levels. Mold and mildew building up in the home can release tons of spores that exacerbate allergy symptoms. Consider having a home dehumidifier installed to control moisture levels, particularly in the summer to reduce the chances of mold growth.
