How can you make sure you have the best indoor air quality? Here are 5 tips:
1) Monitor the Indoor Air Quality. There are monitors that give accurate readings of pollutants in the air. They detect carbon monoxide, mold spores allergens, VOCs, and more.
2) Improve Ventillation. You can open windows to allow fresh air in or remove furniture, cabinets, or storage boxes that may have blocked the vents. Fans and duct systems also help.
3) Monitor Humidity. If you want to kill mold, you need to keep humidity levels between 30-50%. A dehumidifier can help. Place unites where there is poor air circulation: basements, bathrooms and the like. Watch for peeling paint to know where humidity is high!
4) Replace Air Filters Frequently!
5) Keep your space clean. Warning - feather dusters don't help. Instead of trapping dust, they lift dirt and debris to set them airborne. Instead, use sponges or damp cloths.
