Keep Your Air Clean

As the leaves change color and the air gets crisper, there's no denying that fall has arrived in North Bay Shore. With the changing season, we tend to spend more time indoors, enjoying cozy evenings with loved ones. However, it's also the time when indoor air quality can become a concern. Dust accumulation, pet dander, and seasonal allergens tend to make their presence felt during this season. But fear not, because we've got some practical tips to help you maintain clean and fresh indoor air all autumn long.

Dust Bunnies Begone!

Fall is notorious for dust buildup, thanks to less frequent ventilation and the constant in-and-out of family and friends. Dust not only looks unsightly but can also contribute to respiratory issues. Regular dusting and vacuuming can help reduce dust and keep your indoor air clean. Don't forget to clean or replace your HVAC filters to prevent dust from recirculating through your home.

Pet Dander Control

We love our furry companions, but their shedding can be a significant contributor to poor indoor air quality. Brush your pets regularly to reduce shedding, and wash their bedding and toys frequently. Consider investing in an air purifier with a HEPA filter to trap pet dander and other allergens.

Allergen Awareness

Fall allergies are a common issue for many North Bay Shore residents. Ragweed, mold, and pollen are prevalent during this season. Keep your windows closed on high pollen days and use an air purifier to help capture airborne allergens. If you enjoy outdoor activities, remember to change your clothes and wash up after coming back inside.

Proper Ventilation

With the cooler weather, it's tempting to keep windows and doors closed. However, good ventilation is essential for maintaining indoor air quality. Ensure proper airflow by occasionally cracking open windows and using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
