I decided to try something different when it came to keeping the indoor air in my home clean.
I’m not normally the person to have issues with indoor air quality, normally my indoor air quality is fairly good because I do my best to keep my home clean and my HVAC system well taken care of, however recently I have noticed a little bit of a pattern,ever since I have gotten a dog I’ve noticed that my indoor air quality is worse.
I haven’t tested the air or anything, but I can just tell when I breathe in it. I love my dog but the unfortunate truth about dogs is, and many pets in general, that they can be quite dirty. Although I do feel like dogs are especially good at being dirty. I used to have a cat although I don’t have one anymore, and I never had to worry about the cat running outside and rolling in the mud…the dog, well that’s a different story. Regardless I love my dog to bits but I also want my home to be clean and welcoming. So I started cleaning my house twice a week to help combat the battle with pet dander and pet hair. I also decided that if I really want to make sure I have the best indoor air quality that I should get a HEPA filter. I have heard a lot about these filters and I’ve heard nothing but good things from them. They’re supposed to be really great at filtering out any kind of dirt, bacteria, and irritants that might be floating around in the air. The best part was that my heating and AC business has them available for a cheap price. So I decided to pick up a couple of them. I’ve been using them for a couple of months now and they’ve been great. My dog is happy and I have great indoor air. It’s a win-win.
