Want to improve your home\u2019s <\/span>air quality<\/span><\/a> and diminish the impact of airborne allergens like dust, pet dander, and other irritating particles? Here, we break down a few tips to help you breathe the cleanest indoor air and live more comfortably. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Keep it Clean<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the most effective ways to reduce the number of allergens swirling in your home\u2019s air is to stick to a regular cleaning schedule. By sweeping, vacuuming, and dusting your house on a consistent basis, you\u2019ll prevent these airborne particles from settling into your surfaces. <\/span><\/p>\n

While you\u2019re cleaning, don\u2019t forget about the areas where dirt, dust, and dander is most likely to accumulate\u2014in your HVAC vents, bathroom exhaust fans, carpets, baseboards, and on soft surfaces like chairs and couches that are used every day, but oftentimes forgotten when it comes to a cleaning regimen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monitor Indoor Humidity Levels<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although too much humidity inside a home can promote the growth of mold and mildew, a home that is \u201ctoo-dry\u201d can be a breeding ground for airborne particles. By monitoring your home\u2019s indoor humidity levels and making adjustments as necessary (by using a humidifier, a dehumidifier, or both), you\u2019ll be able to maintain a comfortable indoor environment while keeping particle accumulation to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Pets Groomed Regularly<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pet dander is one of the most common indoor allergens. These particles consist of old skin cells, oils, and other microscopic molecules that trigger sneezing fits, runny noses, and red eyes. Even for those who aren\u2019t allergic to pet dander, high levels of dander can generate a \u201cwet dog\u201d smell that may make your home seem musty. By having your pets trimmed and groomed regularly, you\u2019ll lower the risk of skin irritation and reduce the amount of dander they shed.<\/span><\/p>\n
