If you’re planning on doing some spring cleaning and organizing this season, it’s the perfect time to consider what you can do to improve your home’s indoor air quality. Here’s how:

• Use fragrance-free cleaners

It’s tempting to buy into the “spring fresh” scented cleaning products out there, but the best thing for your home’s air quality is fewer artificial scents. Instead, go for something unscented or, better yet, eco-friendly.

• Buy a HEPA filtered vacuum

Vacuums with HEPA filters are better at sucking up the dust and keeping it locked in, so you can cut down on the allergy symptoms. In fact, vacuums with HEPA filters can remove up to 99.97% of allergens.

• Go crazy with filters

You can never have too many filters. From furnace and air conditioner filters to dryer lint screens and air purifiers, keep that circulating air clear and allergen free.
