Fall Cleaning- Spring Cleaning in the Fall
Spring cleaning is a well-known, well-practiced habit; however, we need to remember to take that habit and apply it to the cooler months as well. Removing dust, dirt, and other unwanted particles before windows close for the season and heating grates turn on could be incredibly beneficial when preventing illness this fall.
In the warmer months, windows are open more often, and the air is fresher and flows throughout the house. Everyone loves taking full advantage of keeping their windows open, but as seasonal temperatures drop, many will shut their windows and turn on the heat. Closing up the house can increase the chance that virus particles can build up in the stagnant air and infect your lungs. You don’t want to increase the number of particles circulating in your home by leaving summer dirt and dust to ruminate. So, to best protect your lungs and immune system, employ your spring-cleaning knowledge and remove all unwanted dirt and dust so it isn’t trapped and circulating all winter long. Better yet, pair your cleaning with updating your home’s HVAC central air system and changing its filter to best remove unwanted airborne particles from your home’s circulating air. Cleaning summer dust and dirt as well as placing a new filter will give you a clean, healthy beginning to the autumn season.
