Tips For Maintaining A Healthy Home



The best way to reduce allergic reaction to indoor allergens is to reduce your exposure to them. Here are some tips for maintaining a healthy home environment:

·   Vacuum carpets, floors and upholstery 2-3 times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.
·   Sweep entrance mats regularly to reduce the amount of tracked in dust and soil.
·   Have your heating & air conditioning system inspected & serviced annually. Use & replace high-efficiency filters on a monthly basis.
·   Wash bed linens and coverings weekly in hot water.
·   Have your carpets & upholstery cleaned by us at least twice per year, more often if you children & pets.
·   Have us clean your mattresses & box springs, then encase them in allergen impermeable covers.
