Love may be in the air this time of year, but have you considered what else may be swirling around you? As we move inside for the cooler months, we often fail to consider the quality of the air we’re breathing in our homes.
10%
of the U.S. population suffers from indoor allergens.
Is your safe haven safe? Even the most efficient and thorough housekeeping leaves us with dust in hard-to-reach places, such as air ducts, vents and behind heavy furniture, not to mention those areas that are just “out of sight, out of mind.”
If you don’t have a specific allergy, indoor allergens still can exacerbate conditions such as asthma, COPD, other lung and breathing conditions, and even common cold and virus symptoms.
