Pets bring joy and companionship to many people. However, if you are a pet owner in Morrisville, NC, you need to be aware of the air quality in your home if you want to maintain your home’s comfort. Here are four tips for improving the air quality in your home.
1. Keep Your Home Clean
Regular cleaning and vacuuming can help reduce the amount of pet dander, hair and other particles in the air. Vacuum frequently to remove dust and debris accumulating on your floors, furniture or carpets. You should also wipe down surfaces regularly with a damp cloth.
2. Invest in Air Purifiers
Air purifiers can effectively remove pet dander and help improve indoor air quality. Look for models with a HEPA filter that can remove up to 99% of airborne particles. Additionally, change or clean the filters in your air purifier as part of the monthly maintenance exercise.
3. Practice Pet Grooming
Brushing and bathing your pet daily will help keep the amount of fur and dander in your home to a minimum. Trim your pet’s nails to reduce the dust and debris they can track around your house and regularly clean their bedding. Additionally, regularly vacuum and clean upholstery, rugs and carpets.
4. Use UV Lights
Installing UV lights in your air duct near the evaporator coils can help reduce the amount of bacteria and other pollutants circulating in your home. They work by killing microorganisms that can cause allergies and illnesses. Ensure your HVAC expert installs UV lights near evaporator coils outside the living space where they cannot affect you or your pets.
