Spring…Almost Here. Still Need To Think Indoor Air Quality?

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Honestly, I’m finding it almost unbelievable that spring is just about upon us. I love spring. I love the sun and the flowers and everything green and pretty. And then the proverbial allergies. I don’t love those. Although there is not much we can do about the allergens in the outdoor air, we can do something about our indoor air quality.

For the most part our homes have been shut up pretty tight all winter long. Unfortunately, that means dust, pollen, pet dander, and general yuck have collected in our homes. The places these things collect are in all the soft surfaces in our homes. They collect in our upholstery, carpets, nooks and crannies and in the air ducts. In order to truly start spring off fresh, all of these things needs to be cleaned. You can do all of these things yourself with the exception of the air duct cleaning. Of course, you can get help with all of it but air duct cleaning is not something you should attempt yourself. Make sure you check reviews and pay attention to the way the ducts are cleaned. It is very important.

Start spring off right. Get to all those things that need your attention and don’t forget the air ducts. Give your indoor air a fighting chance!

Indoor Air Quality-VERY IMPORTANT

WOW! What a crazy, crazy time we are in the middle of. Believe me I’m living it right along with everyone. Being in this industry as long as I have my mind can’t help but go straight to the importance of clean indoor air. However, I’m not panicked about it. Merely becoming more aware and paying much more attention.

Because we are being urged to stay inside as much as possible, I thought I would revisit some tips for keeping our indoor air as fresh and clean as possible. First, please be sure your HVAC system is running well and efficiently, including changing the filters regularly. Yes, of course vacuum often (you can even turn it into a dance with your vacuum;)). Even give your soft furniture surfaces a good vacuuming. Dust often as well. Also, let some fresh air in by slightly opening a few windows.

Since we are also probably doing more cooking at home, make sure your ventilation in the kitchen is working properly. Clean the filter there as well. Be careful with cleaning products that can release harmful fumes into your indoor breathing atmosphere. Opt for more organic cleaning products such as vinegar and, of course, steam.

Of course, you’ve probably thought of all this already. Just thought I would throw it out there. If you would like to take it a step further, consider air purification. We actually have several great products available. Check out our website or give us a call. 615-244-1785

Love and Your Indoor Air

Well, it is the month when love is in the air. Honestly, we should always have love “in the air”. But, that is all that should be in your indoor breathing air. We should be doing our best to keep all the harmful things out of our indoor breathing air. And what could be more loving than that. How do we go about that?

First, clean often. Especially vacuuming and mopping can keep particulates from getting into your breathing atmosphere. If you use a vacuum with a HEPA filter it helps even more.

Second, take out the garbage often. The gases and odors that ruminate from the garbage can get quickly into the indoor air. Get that stuff out of there quickly.

Next, keep the surfaces in your kitchen as clean as possible. That too can affect the breathing atmosphere.

Fourth, always make sure your home is well ventilated. That may even mean opening your window even for a few minutes during the colder months.

Last, but certainly not least, change your air filters consistently. The rule of thumb is generally once a month.

All of these things will help keep your indoor air clean and fresh. And what is more loving than that!

New Year…New Indoor Air

It’s that time when all of the holiday decorations have hopefully been put away. And, you’ve probably been doing a lot of cleaning. That’s a good thing. When you are doing all that don’t forget the indoor air.

Believe it nor not… all of those decorations, the heater, the fireplace, the cooking, the gifts can all wreak havoc on the indoor air. Make sure you are starting out the new year with clean air filters, super vacuumed floors, well mopped floors, dusted surfaces. Even washing the blankets and bedding can help improve the indoor air. I know it seems like a lot of work, and it is. But, the benefits will be worth it. Give it a try and see if you agree!
