One
of the most effective ways to combat dust bunnies
and allergens is through a whole‑home
air filtration system that helps remove unwanted
particles from the air in every room of the
house.
With
the fall allergy season in full swing, more
people are heading indoors to find relief from
ragweed, pollen and cooler temperatures. But
there are also things lurking inside homes that
could further aggravate allergies and asthma
this autumn and throughout the year.
One
of the culprits: dust bunnies –those unwanted
piles of dust, pet hair and other particles
that hide behind doors, under beds and in corners.
In fact, nearly 75 percent of homeowners admitted
their houses had dust bunnies, according to
a recent Dust Bunny Barometer survey from American
Standard Heating and Air Conditioning.
And,
in the battle between dust bunnies and homeowners,
the dust bunnies appear to be winning. The survey
showed only 11 percent of homeowners believe
they have their dust bunny population under
control, and only a small number of households
take any significant preventative action against
poor indoor air quality, which can be caused
by pesky dust bunnies, pollen and allergens.
The
top ways survey respondents are fighting dust
bunnies–vacuuming, dusting and sweeping with
a broom–don’t seem to have lasting effects.
To help you battle dust bunnies and breathe
easier inside your home this fall, consider
taking the following proactive steps:
