Tips to Help Reduce Indoor Allergens in Your Home

As the average person spends 90% of their life indoors it is important to maintain the health of your home!

Despite what you may think there are 2x - 100x more pollutants in indoor air than outdoor air. As normal outdoor pollutants like smog, pollen, and dust make their way into the home, they join other pollutants like pet dandruff and dust mites. These pollutants then have a greater chance of staying put and accumulating over time. Luckily, Chem-Dry of Tampa has some tips and tricks to help keep you ahead and keep your home and your family healthy.

Tips and tricks to help keep your home healthy and happy!

1. Use doormats or area rugs in entry ways and high traffic areas.
