Besides regularly cleaning carpets with HOST® , here are some other guidelines to help you Improve the Indoor Air Quality in your home:
Regularly clean plush furnishings Vacuum upholstered chairs, sofas and carpets and wash bedding often. This cuts dust mite allergens that can cause health problems when they become airborne.
Control moisture levels... with a dehumidifier, air conditioner or heat pump. Dust mites require over 50% relative humidity.
Open windows to increase air flow... when possible. If you are sensitive to outside dust, pollen or molds, consider using an air-to-air heat exchanger with an air cleaner on your home heating and cooling system.
Change furnace and A/C air filters often Use fine filters that trap microscopic dust.
Dust furnishings Use treated cloths (to capture dust), rather than feather-type dusters.
Vacuum Regularly Use an upright, model with a brush roller or a tank model with a power brush attachment. Concentrate near often used furniture. Make sure bag is clean and in good condition to keep airborne pollutants to a minimum.
