Air quality is very important for many reasons: the comfort of your home, he health of your family, and even the resale value of your ho,e.
More often in summer than winter, homes seem to acquire a stagnant odor. You may begin to think, “This place smells like dirt.” Fortunately, boosting air quality can be easy and inexpensive. Here’s how to do it:
- Begin by cleaning away dust in often-missed places such as ceiling fans, baseboards, and moldings.
- Then clean the duct work of your heating and air-conditioning system. Though a professional will do a better job, just placing the vacuum cleaner hose into various ducts can draw out a great deal of dust.
- Use furnace [nmslink:vent filters, vent filters]. Lift up your vents and put the filters in place. The air goes through the filter before it comes out. It traps the dust.
- For a more serious problem, consider an in-line air-purification system. The unit will pay off in the form of clean air for years to come.
