Vertical blinds are easier to care for and do not hold as much dust as the horizontal ones do. Easily cleaned decorations should be used instead of dried flower arrangements, wall hangings and straw baskets. To prevent the buildup of indoor contamination due to unacceptable outdoor air, or pollutants from within the home a quality air filtration system is important. There are many types of filtration products and systems available. Room filtration units will service a specific space based on the CFM of air flow from that unit.
Electrostatic filters are available to be added to the return on the central system.
Two companies that make these units are AllerMed and Austin Air . A Central system is also available that is installed into the return air system and incorporates not only filters but a motor to help move the air through the system. This unit is manufactured by Pure Air Systems . The quality of any unit should be rated on the efficiency of the filters in the unit. A good filter should include a prefilter, a tray of activated charcoal or other media and a HEPA filter.
