Indoor air quality matters, but many homeowners don’t take the right precautions to ensure the air they’re breathing in is as free from pollutants and contaminants as possible. Improving your home’s indoor air quality can help you avoid sickness and allergy symptoms, so to help keep you and your family healthy, check out these three tips for improving indoor air quality.
- Vacuum rugs and carpet. Dust, pet dander, and other contaminants get trapped in the fibers of your rugs and carpet. This makes it easier for them to linger in your home and make their way into the air you breathe. Make sure to vacuum your rugs and carpets once or twice a week to get rid of the contaminants that rest in them.
- Keep your pets clean. Pets naturally leave pet dander around your home. They also bring outside contaminants indoors. Wash your pets regularly to get rid of any contaminants that may be sitting in their fur, and clean up after them when they shed.
- Install air purifiers. Perhaps the best thing you can do to improve your home’s indoor air quality is install air purifiers. These systems work to filter out the contaminants in your air so you can stay healthy. They filter out all kinds of different contaminants, including pet dander, dust, chemicals from cleaners, and more. We here at Lonon Heating, A/C and Air Quality install air purifiers, including whole-home air purifiers, to help you maintain healthier indoor air quality.
