Helpful Hints & Tips



Prescribed medications treat the symptoms of the allergies and asthma linked to indoor pollution. The FILTERQUEEN Indoor Air Quality System (IAQS), however, attacks the source of the problem by helping remove allergens from the air and surfaces in your home.
The FILTERQUEEN IAQS has a unique filtration ability that is specifically designed to remove harmful particles from your home. The filters in the system have been independently tested to remove 99.98% of particles at 0.1 micron. Also, the addition of activated charcoal helps to remove over 300 toxic gases and noxious odors that come from pets, cooking, and even cleaning products.
 
Here are some tips to help reduce harmful particles from your home….
Dust mites live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, fabric-covered furniture, bedcovers, clothes, and objects such as stuffed toys. Keeping dust mite populations low will improve the indoor air quality and help prevent allergic reactions. To reduce dust mites inside your home:

1. Replace feather and down pillows with synthetic-filled pillows.
2. Replace wool blankets with washable, nylon or cotton cellulose types.
3. Cover pillows, mattresses, and box springs with an impervious fabric.
4. At least once a month, wash all bedding in hot water.
5. Change sheets and pillow cases at least every seven days.
6. Use a cleaner with an effective filtration system and continuous airflow.
7. Use a portable, high-efficiency air purifier in each room.

Eliminating the allergy risks could prevent asthma in more than 500,000 children in the United States, according to a new study in Pediatrics. The study underscores what scientists already suspect about the role environmental factors, such as cigarette smoke and pet dander, play in how asthma develops.
