HOME IMPROVEMENT

Making Your Home Healthy Involves Getting Household Dust And Chemicals Under Control By Mia Ingui House dust aggravates allergies. It also contains more hazardous chem- icals than you might think, including lead, fire retardants, pesticides, and other chemicals. The solutions: 1. The best -- and most expensive -- option is to replace wall-to-wall carpeting (a collector for dust and allergens) with wood, cork, tile, or non-vinyl linoleum. But if that’s not economically feasible, some old-fashioned elbow grease can help. Vacuum frequently -- meticu- lously getting into corners, along the floorboards, and moving furni- ture to get those dust bunnies. 2. Make sure your vacuum has strong suction and a HEPA filter so that dust and dirt go into the bag. 3. Vacuum at least two times each week. 4. Clean the vacuum bag and filter every time, so dust isn't spewed back into the air.
