Indoor air can make you miserable if it is not kept clean and healthy.

Clean indoor air is essential for a happy you and a happy home.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reported that Indoor air can contain up to 5 times as much pollution as outdoor air. Allergies and asthma are on the rise so cleaning indoor air in your home and work place is more important than ever as this can greatly reduce symptoms according to Dr. John Winder, an allergist for the Nationwide Asthma Screening Program of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

These are some clean indoor air top tips:

• When you dust your house with a cloth you a often spreading dust around. You vacuum based tools to dust with instead. Make sure you don’t avoid difficult to reach areas like space under beds, drapes and moldings.
• A great tip for dusting small objects is to cover the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner with a pair of tights or fine cloth. Put the vacuum on a low suction level and run the small objects over the front of the vacuum nozzle. This sucks all the dust off without the object disappearing in to the vacuum! Note: Be sure to use a scrap material to cover the vacuum nozzle as it can get ruined in the process.
• Wrap pillows and mattresses in allergen-protective covers and regularly vacuum them.
• When you wash your linens make sure the water is hot (130 degrees or above) to ensure dust mites and their eggs are killed off properly.
• Deep clean your carpets & floor surfaces once every season at least.
• To really thoroughly achieve clean indoor air get an air purifier to remove all the airborne pollutants.
• Clean indoor air is also about humidity.. maintain a cool & dry home. Keep humidity to 50% or less. You can use a humidifier to aid in this but make sure you frequently empty the unit to prevent the growth of mold in the tank.
• Try to avoid letting your pets sleep in the bedrooms.
• Keep stuffed animals and busy shelves to a minimum as these are real dust-catcher locations. If you have lots of stuffed toys vacuum them frequently.. but carefully of course!!

Follow this great advice and you will have super clean indoor air in no time.

My husband is tormented with sinus and allergy problems. We live in an area that has heavy pollen in the spring and fall. He spends these months sounding as though his head is stuffed with cotton wool. The fallout from his malady is a dreadful snoring problem. So dire at times that we have separate bedrooms.

Numerous trips to doctors over the years led to ineffective treatments that included antibiotics and sinus surgery. However, one doctor recommended an air cleaner. We purchased an air purifier and found his snoring reduced markedly. If the air borne pollutants such as tobacco smoke, pet dander, dust, mold, mildew and pollen are removed or reduced the respiratory passage is not aggravated. If the respiratory system is less irritated the snoring drops off. It’s actually very simple.

However, evaluating all the air purifiers was a great deal of work. Here are the five most popular air purifiers. If you want to cut through the marketing baloney and find out what people are actually buying this will help you. Here are the five most popular air cleaners:

#1 IQAir HealthPro and the IQAir HealthPro Plus is one of the world’s most advanced air cleaners. Voted by Germany’s consumer foundation as the most effective for allergy sufferers. It uses the same HyperHEPA technology that is in hospital operating rooms. The IQAir cost 3 times the typical “market rate” for a cleaner. If you have really serious allergies it’s worth the money. If your allergy problem is moderate go with a cheaper unit.

#2 Honeywell Enviracaire 50250 Air Purifier is a compact unit perfect for just one-room purifier. You’ll probably end up buying two units. There are two filters –the main HEPA filter and a ‘pre-filter’ that catches large particles like pet hair and extends the life of the HEPA filter. It’s important to clean the pre-filter regularly.

#3 Whirlpool Whispure 450 Air Purifier. This model receives high ratings in many consumer reviews. At the lowest setting their operation is unobtrusive. It is not a small unit so check out the dimensions. It needs two filters –the HEPA filter is expensive.

#4 Alen A350 Air Purifier is ideal for a single room or office. A light, versatile design — floor use or wall mountable. Simple filter change. Only thing it doesn’t remove is tobacco smoke.

#5 Blueair 601 Air Purifier is large but its clean lines blend in. It’s built from steel and its 10-year warranty inspires durability. Its on rollers so is easy to move around. It’s quiet and the filters are easy to change.
