- Add a whole-home air cleaner –Trane’s certified asthma and allergy-friendly CleanEffects® Whole Home Air Cleaner drastically improves indoor air quality. This innovative system employs groundbreaking technology to remove up to 99.98% of airborne particles, including dust mites, pollen, and allergens.
- Use controlled ventilation – To reduce indoor air pollutants, supply clean air and exhaust polluted air outside. The best way is to use a filtered mechanical ventilator, keeping windows and doors shut to ensure only the filtered fresh air is supplied to the home.
- Balance the humidity in your home – Maintaining the right humidity level in your home is crucial in the battle against allergies. Humidity levels between 35-60% are key to mitigating IAQ problems. Mold and dust mites thrive outside this range, while dry air compromises our immune systems.
- Eliminate the source of the airborne pollutants – As people spend more time outdoors during the warmer spring months, exposure to pollen and outdoor allergens will increase, exacerbating allergy symptoms. Protect your indoor air quality by using certified asthma and allergy friendly® products (bedding, vacuums, cleaning products, flooring, paid, and more.)
