Check out some tips to help reduce indoor allergens and improve indoor air quality systems!

With spring just around the corner, these helpful pointers will help improve IAQ.

• Encase pillows, box springs and mattresses in dust-mite-proof covers and wash bed sheets weekly.
• Deep clean all carpets and vacuums weekly.
• Clean the most-used furniture (g. couch) often.
• Remove unnecessary clutter that has collected dust by putting it in storage.
• Open windows to allow cross-ventilation because IAQ is usually worse indoors and a breeze will help purify it.
• Potted plants can grow mold, so cover dirt with aquarium gravel to prevent it.
• Use vented exhaust fans to remove cooking fumes and avoid moisture buildup when cooking.
• Maintain an indoor temperature of 68°F to 72°F because humidity attracts dust mites and mold.
• Replace air filters monthly.
