First, consider a plan<\/a> to handle major sources of exposure, such as mold.<\/p>\nNext, follow these tips:<\/p>\n
1 – Clean your home regularly and thoroughly<\/h4>\n
Get in the habit of cleaning floors and flat surfaces in your home on a regular basis (at least weekly) and decluttering. This step alone can have a major impact on the health of your home as heavier particles like large pieces of dust and pollen tend to fall to the ground. Think about doing a deeper clean every 6 months.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"sweeping](\"https:\/\/iseai.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/tim-mossholder-4uiRSSp6gKg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\")
Photo by Tim Mossholder<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\nTips for sensitive people:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Have someone else (family member, friend) focus on the cleaning, and come back afterwards.<\/span> This is especially true if you have physical limitations and\/or sensitivities to dust, chemicals, etc.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
- Wear an N95 mask during and after cleaning<\/span><\/li>\n
- Air out the home after cleaning, especially after vacuuming. Also see the \u201cVentilation\u201d tips further below. Open windows for 10 minutes, assuming a dry and low dust day, then run a portable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and\/or the HVAC fan afterwards.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What do I clean with?<\/b><\/p>\n
Typically you don\u2019t need to use any harsh cleaning chemicals. <\/span>Instead, focus on <\/span>physically removing<\/span><\/i> buildup of dust, etc, using natural products and simple methods.<\/span><\/p>\n\nDon\u2019t focus on chemical cleaning products that \u201csmell good\u201d since <\/i>\u201cclean\u201d isn\u2019t defined by a certain smell, but more of a lack of one<\/i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Natural cleaning product suggestions:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Water with a dab of dish soap (free and clear, fragrance free, or unscented)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vinegar (f<\/span>or hard-to-clean messes like stovetop, oven, etc, try vinegar with baking soda)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Drains: Use a long cleaning brush, try vinegar with baking soda<\/span><\/li>\n
- For a more potent option, hydrogen peroxide (use medical-grade 3%) is a good alternative to bleach; use caution on porous or sensitive surfaces and use in a well-ventilated area while wearing gloves<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note: Some cleaning products, including those with chlorine and ammonia, contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Note that mixing chlorine and ammonia should never be done as it creates toxic gases called chloramines. Some paints, shellacs, and floor polishes may also contain VOCs. The compounds then go into the air as gasses. If you do want to use a commercial cleaning product look for \u201clow\/no VOCs\u201d but be wary of \u201cgreen\u201d claims and research products thoroughly – honor your sensitivities.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nCleaning floors
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
A broom and dustpan is an inexpensive starting point, and highly effective for removing larger debris from hard floors. Don\u2019t overlook this simple option. A more effective initial removal of larger debris\/dust would be a HEPA vacuum. Sensitive patients may react to either one of these cleaning methods, in which case personal protective equipment or someone else’s help may be needed.<\/p>\n
Carpets\/rugs:<\/p>\n
\n- Vacuum regularly. S<\/span>ome vacuums have \u201ctrue HEPA filters\u201d – more on this topic below – and leak less air, so consider researching those the next time you need to purchase a vacuum. <\/span><\/li>\n
- You can also take area rugs outside and beat them with a stick prior to vacuuming. Wear gloves and a mask.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Hard flooring:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Mop (two sided washable microfiber fabric versions are a nice option)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vacuum (on \u201chard floor\u201d setting if available)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Dry Swiffer cloths – these are great<\/em> at picking up the smallest dust (made of millions of tiny polyester fibers, dry Swiffer cloths are designed to use static electricity to pick up tiny pieces of dust). Suggested as a finishing step.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What about my pets? <\/b><\/p>\n
Bathe\/groom your pet regularly, if possible. If difficult to bathe, regularly wiping gently but thoroughly with a Swiffer cloth can be a helpful step. <\/span>Keep your pet out of bed\/bedroom, if possible (especially heavy shedders).<\/span><\/p>\nAre dust mites an issue in my home?<\/b><\/p>\n
Dust mites are very small, insect-like pests that feed on dead human skin cells and thrive in warm, humid settings. You may be allergic or sensitive to them.<\/span><\/p>\nTip: Wash sheets and bedding regularly. You may want to consider purchasing Allerease<\/a> mattress and pillow protectors (or similar).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nMonitor humidity levels
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
Maintain reasonable humidity levels (approx. 30-50%, especially when considering mold exposure), understanding that weather varies and your region has certain patterns. This will help limit mold growth, dust mites, etc.<\/p>\n
\n- There are <\/span>$10 \u201chygrometers\u201d on Amazon<\/span><\/a> with a\u00a0digital readout of current and ongoing humidity levels<\/span><\/li>\n
- Running your HVAC system during times of high heat and humidity is one simple way to maintain humidity levels<\/span><\/li>\n
- Another is to purchase a dedicated dehumidifier (either portable, or added onto HVAC system)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Regular home maintenance can improve your indoor air quality and save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n
Air Conditioner\/Heater (HVAC)<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b>Schedule regular professional maintenance to keep your HVAC system in tip-top shape and use less energy. Ask your technician what steps your maintenance will include (more tips here<\/a>) and what the best schedule is (before Fall and Spring, or once a year). Having a professional technician clean and tune your system regularly can help you avoid costly repairs and improve your system\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\nPreventative HVAC maintenance<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b>Changing the \u201cfurnace filter\u201d regularly with a high quality option is a great idea and can deliver a massive \u201cbang for your buck\u201d because dirty filters can decrease system performance as well as re-introduce contaminants into the air. HVAC systems vary, so follow manufacturer suggestions, talk to your HVAC professional, and regularly inspect your filter.<\/p>\n![\"HVAC](\"https:\/\/iseai.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/replace-furnace-filter-1024x684.png\")
HVAC furnace filter replacement. Source Bigstock.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\nSuggestions for replacement filters: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Sensitive individuals may want to have someone else replace the filter. Wear gloves, a mask, and bag the old filter immediately and discard. Write the date on a new filter and install, then wash hands.<\/li>\n
- For large standard filters look for \u201chigh\u201d MERV ratings (8-13) [3<\/a>] if possible. See the EPA\u2019s \u201cWhat is a MERV rating\u201d<\/a><\/em> and<\/span>\u00a0Filtrete’s guide<\/a> to MPR vs MERV. Ductless mini split, window AC units<\/a> and other systems may have different requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Before any purchase talk to your HVAC professional to make sure your system can handle higher rated filters (some units may be able to handle up to MERV 16, but don\u2019t assume yours can, as this may damage your HVAC system). <\/span><\/li>\n
- You may want to order filters in bulk to save money.<\/span><\/li>\n
- One option is <\/span>Nordic Pure AC & Furnace Filters<\/span><\/a> with an option for a layer of carbon to further minimize odors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
HVAC tips for apartment living<\/b><\/p>\n\n- If the HVAC filter is changed by maintenance staff, ask if it can be changed regularly (or ask if you can supply your own). If the HVAC unit is accessible, look at the filter on a regular basis.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Ask what the maintenance schedule is for the HVAC system and follow up to make sure the schedule is followed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Store chemicals safely<\/b><\/p>\n
First, limit the number of chemical products you have in or near your home. Focus on storage and use of paints, adhesives, solvents and pesticides in well ventilated areas away from your living space if possible. Do not store chemicals near your air handler. Ensure that chemicals are tightly sealed such that they do not have an odor. If you can smell the chemicals, they are affecting your air quality.<\/p>\n
Other maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\nCleaning your refrigerator coils, dryer vent, and bathroom fans should also be on your list. For a longer list of seasonal home maintenance tasks see this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\nHome renovation supplies<\/b><\/p>\n

Tip: Be wary of \u201cgreen\u201d claims made by manufacturers and research products thoroughly. Ask about return policies in case you react to a product.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n3 – Ventilation<\/h3>\n
If the outdoor air quality and weather is reasonable you might want to ventilate regularly. This dilutes the indoor air<\/em> and often makes it healthier. One solution to pollution is dilution.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"open](\"https:\/\/iseai.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isaiah-bekkers-Fc7hOSm1LhI-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\")
Photo by Isaiah Bekkers<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\nEasy ways to ventilate your home:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Open windows<\/span><\/li>\n
- Run a bathroom fan that exhausts to the outdoors. This can help circulate air through the home.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Advanced: Some HVAC systems have \u201cmechanical ventilation\u201d\u00a0 which pulls outdoor air in, filters it, and distributes it throughout a building. This is often more common in commercial settings, so you may want to ask about it at your workplace.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Ventilate while cooking:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Run the range\/hood fan if you have one, and\/or leave the kitchen window open a bit if the weather and outdoor air quality allows. This will help avoid nitrogen dioxide buildup from gas ranges, and will dilute cooking fumes.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Also, if possible, use stainless steel (or other healthy) cookware and avoid using plastic cooking utensils. Store leftovers and bulk food in glass containers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
4 – Filter your air<\/h3>\n
Aside from cleaning your home regularly, keeping it maintained, and focusing on ventilation, filtering<\/em> your air can have a major impact on your indoor air quality.<\/p>\n![\"filter](\"https:\/\/iseai.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/patrick-perkins-G3qlZQXsBOE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\")
Photo by Patrick Perkins<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\nHVAC system<\/b><\/p>\n
An HVAC system potentially filters a very large<\/i> amount of air each day, so your HVAC system can have a major impact on your indoor air quality – which is why it is first on our list. As mentioned above, you can inspect and change your HVAC filter on a regular basis and have regular maintenance performed.<\/p>\n
Tip: You may also want to adjust your thermostat and turn your fan to \u201ccirculate\u201d or \u201con\u201d mode more regularly, to further filter the air. Pay attention to how this makes you feel, if turning on your HVAC fan makes you feel worse, this is a clue.<\/em><\/p>\nPortable HEPA filter
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
If your budget allows for it, a portable HEPA filter may be a helpful addition to your bedroom (or in any area of the home you regularly occupy).<\/span><\/p>\nTip: An inexpensive DIY portable filter option is a box fan combined with HEPA filters; a Corsi\u2013Rosenthal Box (<\/span>video<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nThere are many<\/em> portable HEPA filters on the market. Be wary of marketing claims, special technologies, and high prices. Some thoughts:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- You may want to size up. One small unit may<\/em> do a good job at filtering the air in a bedroom, but a larger unit can often do a better job.<\/span><\/li>\n
- How much does it filter? You may see clean air delivery rate (CADR), which sort of a complex formula, or cubic feet per minute (CFM) which is how much air the unit processes. Typically you’ll want higher numbers and you’ll want to run the fan on a high setting<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Consider: Initial cost, reviews, cost of filter replacements, technical specifications, noise level, energy efficiency (look for Energy Star<\/a> rating), and more.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Check the manufacturers claims for the portable HEPA filter you are interested in, as the term “HEPA” may be used loosely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
