Use good air filtration. This entails the use and maintenance of quality furnace filters, the possible use of high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) in rooms, particularly if you do not have a ducted air handling system, and lastly, a high quality vacuum cleaner which does not allow ultra-fine particles to re-circulate back into the air. Reducing airborne particles with the use of good filtration techniques will improve indoor air quality by making indoor air less dense of particle pollutants and consequently easier to inhale. This will also reduce physical irritation that causes allergy and asthma symptoms. It is additionally important to never feather dust your home or sweep hardwood flooring. Sweeping and feather dusting launch massive amounts of particles back into the air. Dust these areas with damp cloths or mops, or vacuum with a quality vacuum cleaner to prevent acute exposure.
