December’s Breathe Healthy Initiative Topic: Our Indoor Generation

What are regular routines that can improve our Indoor Air Quality?

Routinely (for those with allergies, weekly) wash sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and mattress pads in hot water and detergent, then dry using high heat.
Change the HVAC filters as soon as they show evidence of dust and particulates.
Keep furry and feathered pets out of sleeping areas and off furniture.
Clean pet beds, litter boxes and cages frequently.
Never dry-sweep indoors. Dust using a damp cloth and use a HEPA-filtered vacuum.
Confirm appliances, kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, and clothes dryers are vented to the outside.
Use exhaust fans when cooking or showering.
Avoid use of air fresheners, incense, and scented candles. They tend to release VOCs and other contaminants into the air. When using, vent well.
No smoking indoors.
Avoid mold and moisture by fixing water leaks and high humidity issues immediately.
Maintain humidity in all indoor areas around 40-45%.
Use a dehumidifier in areas where the humidity is at or above 50%.
