Spring Indoor Air Refresh: 10 Ways to Breathe Better Air

Mar 1, 2025

Spring is the season for fresh air—make sure the air inside your home is just as clean! Here are 10 effective ways to reduce allergens, pollutants, and odors for a healthier home heading into spring and beyond.

Schedule an Air Duct Cleaning

  • Over time, dust, mold, and debris can collect in air ducts.

  • Cleaning them helps improve indoor air circulation and reduces allergens.

Deep Clean Soft Surfaces

  • Dust, pet dander, and airborne particles settle into carpets, furniture, and bedding.

  • Vacuum with a HEPA filter and wash bedding weekly in hot water.

Use Air Purifiers for Targeted Areas

    • HEPA and activated carbon purifiers help remove airborne particles, pet dander, and fine dust.

    • Place them in high-traffic areas like living rooms and bedrooms for best results.

    Disinfect High-Touch Areas & Soft Surfaces

      • Bacteria, viruses, and allergens can linger on couches, curtains, and rugs.

      • Use a non-toxic disinfectant to neutralize contaminants without harsh chemicals.

      Keep Mold & Mildew at Bay

        • Check for leaks in crawl spaces, attics, and bathrooms.

        • Fix moisture issues and use mold-prevention treatments where needed.

        Eliminate Hidden Odor Sources

          • Lingering odors from pets, cooking, and smoke can embed in soft surfaces.

          • Use an air scrubber or deodorizing treatment to neutralize smells instead of masking them.

          Enhance Indoor Air with Whole-Home Purification

            • Whole-home purification systems help reduce airborne allergens, bacteria, and odors.

            • Solutions range from advanced filtration to chemical-free air treatment.

            Improve Airflow & Circulation

              • Stagnant air can trap pollutants indoors.

              • Use exhaust fans, attic ventilation, and air exchange systems to keep fresh air moving.

              Reduce Chemical Pollutants Indoors

              • Many household cleaning supplies and air fresheners release VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

              • Opt for natural cleaning solutions and avoid synthetic air fresheners.

              Address Airborne Contaminants at the Source

              • Airborne irritants like dust, mold spores, and bacteria affect indoor air quality.

              • Consider proactive air quality treatments to neutralize pollutants and maintain a fresher home.
