Your four-legged friend is a vital part of your family. However, they also pose a threat to the air quality in your home. There are some steps Clinton, TN, homeowners can take to protect their indoor air while still enjoying the company of their pets:
Vacuum Regularly
Regularly vacuuming your floors and furniture is one of the most critical steps for air protection. The vacuum cleaner will suck up dirt, pet hair and dander that would otherwise stay in the air or settle on surfaces. Vacuum frequently, paying extra attention to spots where pets sleep or spend a lot of time.
Change Air Filters Regularly
Your air filter helps capture many of the airborne particles that can cause problems with indoor air quality. To protect your indoor air quality, you should check and change it regularly. Doing so also helps to keep your HVAC system running efficiently. It also helps to minimize the risk of breakdowns and HVAC repairs.
Keep Pets Clean and Groomed
Bathing your pet regularly and keeping them groomed will help reduce the amount of dander in the air. Some dogs may need more regular washing than others, so note how often your pet needs a bath and schedule it accordingly.
