Chem-Dry®
Tips
The best way to reduce allergic reactions to dust, mold, and other indoor allergens is to reduce your exposure to them. Here are some tips for maintaining a healthy home environment:
- Control moisture and humidity (60% humidity or lower) by using a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
- Vacuum carpets, floors and upholstery three times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate) filter. Ask your Chem-Dry professional for vacuum cleaner recommendations.
- Sweep entrance mats regularly to reduce the amount of dust and soil tracked inside.
- Have your carpets and upholstery cleaned at least twice a year by your Chem-Dry professional, or more often if you have children or pets.
- Have your heating and air conditioning system inspected and serviced twice a year. Use and replace high-efficiency filters monthly.
- Wash bed linens and coverings weekly in hot (130ûF) water.
- Have matresses and boxsprings professionally cleaned, then encase in allergen impermeable covers. (Ask your Chem-Dry professional about mattress extraction services.)
- Use a trained exterminator to eliminate cockroaches from the home. Keep food preparation, eating and storage areas clean and dry.
