Cleaning the Air is More Important Than Disinfecting Surfaces
Initially, scientists advised us to wipe down our groceries, doorknobs, and public spaces, causing many to overreact. Learn why those same scientists believe we should be putting our money and time towards cleaning our air, and why whole-home purification is great place to start.
Filtration
Filters help remove particulate matter in the air.
Filters are pretty easy to understand, but there are probably options available that nobody ever talked to you about.
Most likely, you have one filter for your entire home that is 1-inch thick. Without any more information, without any expertise, does that sound like a good idea? Of course not!

The best level of humidity for your home is 40-60%. Not only does this provide optimal comfort but it is also the best range for health. When humidity is lower than 40% or higher than 60% it creates an environment for bacteria, viruses, fungi, mites, and allergens to thrive.
Depending on your home and current HVAC system, there are multiple options available to monitor and control the relative humidity.
