by cleanarrivaladmin - January 28, 2025

Tips for clean air in the home

The air quality in your home plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being. With allergens, pollutants, and germs constantly circulating, taking steps to ensure clean, healthy air is essential. At Clean Arrival LLC, we’re here to share practical tips to help you breathe easy every day.

1. Ventilate Your Home

Fresh air circulation is crucial for reducing indoor air pollutants.

  • Tip: Open windows and doors daily, even for just 10-15 minutes, to allow fresh air to replace stale indoor air.
  • Trick: Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to remove moisture, odors, and airborne particles.

2. Invest in Air Purifiers

Air purifiers can significantly improve the air quality in your home.

  • Tip: Choose a purifier with a HEPA filter to trap allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander.
  • Trick: Position air purifiers in commonly used rooms like bedrooms and living spaces for maximum effectiveness.

3. Change HVAC Filters Regularly

Your heating and cooling system can be a major contributor to indoor air quality.

  • Tip: Replace HVAC filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type.
  • Trick: Consider upgrading to high-efficiency filters designed to capture smaller particles.

4. Keep Your Home Clean

Dust and dirt can harbor allergens and pollutants, so regular cleaning is key.

  • Tip: Vacuum carpets and rugs at least once a week using a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
  • Trick: Dust surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth to trap particles instead of dispersing them into the air.

5. Control Humidity Levels

Excess humidity can lead to mold growth and increase airborne allergens.

  • Tip: Use a dehumidifier to maintain indoor humidity between 30-50%.
  • Trick: Fix leaky pipes and ensure proper ventilation in damp areas to prevent moisture buildup.

6. Incorporate Indoor Plants

Certain plants can help improve air quality naturally.

  • Tip: Add low-maintenance, air-purifying plants like snake plants, peace lilies, or spider plants to your home.
  • Trick: Avoid overwatering plants to prevent mold growth.

7. Reduce Indoor Pollutants

Minimizing pollutants at the source is one of the most effective ways to maintain clean air.

  • Tip: Avoid smoking indoors and limit the use of candles or wood-burning fireplaces.
  • Trick: Use non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products to reduce chemical exposure.

8. Wash Fabrics Regularly

Soft furnishings can trap allergens and contribute to poor air quality.

  • Tip: Wash bedding, curtains, and throw pillows regularly in hot water to kill dust mites.
  • Trick: Use allergen-proof covers on mattresses and pillows for added protection.

9. Keep Pets Groomed

Pet dander is a common allergen that can affect air quality.

  • Tip: Brush and bathe your pets regularly to reduce shedding.
  • Trick: Designate certain areas of your home as pet-free zones, especially bedrooms.

10. Schedule Professional Cleanings

For a deep clean that targets hidden dust and allergens, turn to the pros.

  • Tip: Hire professional cleaning services to thoroughly clean carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas.
  • Trick: Ask about additional services like air duct cleaning to ensure your HVAC system is free from debris.

By following these tips, you can create a healthier, more comfortable living environment for you and your family. For expert assistance, contact Clean Arrival LLC and let us help you maintain a clean and healthy home—starting with the air you breathe!

It's easy for me to change my information or reschedule on their online platform and they are always very responsive.

I've hired Clean Arrival twice for a deep clean of my apartment, and was very happy with the results both times.... They're on time, they're quick, they bring their own supplies, they're nice people, and they do a great job. I'll definitely use them in the future!read more
