HOW TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Regular vacuuming can prevent the buildup of allergens like pet dander, dust mites, and pollen. This is particularly important for people who suffer from allergies or asthma.

Reduces the risk of pests

Vacuuming can also help to reduce the risk of pests like fleas and bed bugs, which can hide in carpets and upholstery.

Regular Cleaning

Vacuuming, dusting, and sweeping can remove dust, pollen, pet dander and other airborne particles that can accumulate on surfaces. Regular maintenance of appliances, such as stoves & hood, and water heaters, can reduce the release of harmful chemicals into the air. Natural cleaning products are typically less toxic and can reduce the amount of harmful chemicals released into the air.
