Hence, one place that dander can accumulate is within HVAC filters. To minimize the amount of dander in your home clean regularly by mopping, dusting, and vacuuming.
- Regular Filter Changes. The more pets that you have (especially ones that shed a lot of hair), the more often you will need to change your HVAC’s filters. Locate where your main HVAC filter is. Also, recognize that there may be several of filters throughout your home.
- Duct Maintenace & Cleaning. Like anything else, your HVAC system’s air ducts can gradually fail. Over time air ducts can shift, develop cracks or holes, and even become clogged. Cleaning and maintaining your air ducts is essential to keep the air quality in your home safe.
