Springs weather, temps.. and allergies are on their way. Prepare for their arrival with our top 5 tips to make sure you're breathing clean air.

Tip One: Replace your vacuum filter

Make sure you're replacing the filter in your vacuum with a certified HEPA filter at least every three months. According to the E.P.A., a HEPA filter can remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles down to 0.3 microns.

Tip Two: Replace your HVAC filter

Each month, you'll need to swap out your air filters for HVAC. 

Why? Clean filters improve air quality and increase energy efficiency- plus, fresh filters changed every month greatly improves the lifetime of your equipment.

Tip Three: Change your furnace filters 

Monthly replacement filters for your furnace have all the same benefits of switching out your HVAC filter- cleaner air, longer equipment life and money saved!

Tip Four: Clean your carpets

Properly clean your carpeted areas with a machine that will extract the allergen-filled water from your soft surface. This goes for other soft surfaces in your space!

According to the NIH, many studies have shown that carpeted areas have significantly higher levels of allergens.

Tip Five: Use an air purifier

Using a high quality, properly sized for the space, air purifier is a great way to capture allergens before they get to you.
