Four Steps to Cleaner Indoor Air

• Step One: Keep your home clean as possible - keeping ahead of dust and dust mites can significantly improve the air that you breathe. Dusting window treatments, around window and door trim and out of reach areas can be very helpful. Use a vacuum cleaner that utilizes a HEPA type filter so that as you are cleaning you're not just ejecting the dust back into the air. Also think about a bag-free vacuum cleaner to avoid the cloud of dust that forms whenever you change a bag.
• Step Two: If you have a forced air heating system, have air ducts cleaned and sealed internally. Have your air ducts cleaned every 3-5 years by a qualified professional duct cleaning service.
• Step Three: Upgrade the air filters on your furnace. For most of us, the furnace filter is a spun glass filter that cost less than a dollar. While this filter protects the blower motor, it will do almost nothing when it comes to improving you indoor air quality. Upgrade to a pleated filter that captures smaller particles-some so minute that your naked eye cannot see them. There are many brands available, like American Filter and 3M. The key is to change them regularly.
• Step four: Consider installing an indoor air purifier. Do your homework before buying, investigating the merits of different models for your particular needs.
