Clean air checklist

Spring cleaning the whole house, not to mention your indoor air, can feel like a big job. To make the task easier, tackle one thing at a time with this checklist.

• Reduce clutter by tossing items that can collect dust, such as old newspapers, magazines, mail, and clothing.
• Cover mattresses, box springs and pillows with special casing to block dust mites.
• Never leave cars running in an attached garage. Fumes can leak into your home even if the garage door is left open.
• Regular grooming of your pet helps control pet dander and loose hair.
• Help prevent mold by keeping relative humidity between 30-50%. Inexpensive monitors are available.
• Cleaning window screens is easy – remove, hose off, and let dry in the sun.
• Replace vacuum cleaner bags when full to keep suction at maximum power.
• Window treatments collect a lot of dust. Choose washable curtains when redecorating.
• Shower curtains need cleaning too – toss them in the washer to keep them fresh.
• Ventilation helps reduce moisture and helps prevent mold – keep bathroom ventilation fan running.
• Change your Air Filter to help clean the air you breathe.

How to green your home

With Earth Day on Friday we figured this would be a good subject for us to touch on. You always here people saying "Reduce your carbon foot print", "Green your home" or "Live an Eco-Friendly life." You ask yourself, "How?" Two easy steps are to start using more efficient air and water filters. If you use a good Water Filter then there will be no need to purchase bottled water, in turn keeping thousands of bottles from land fills. You will have great tasting water from your tap and save lots of money. Another great option for filtered water is made by 3M Filtrete. There is the 3M Water Station or the 3M Water Pitcher.

There are a few options for furnace and air conditioner filters to help you be eco-friendly. One option is a washable filter, you use this filter for 1-3 months and then instead of tossing, just rinse and re-install. Great for the environment; no garbage. Another option is the Flanders Pre-Pleat 40 Filter. These are made entirely from recycled material. So even though you toss these after 3 months, they are at least made from recycled material.

So a few simple steps and you are on your way to living a "Green Life". Visit RememberTheFilter.com for all your filtration needs.
