Clean Sweep
It can be easy to ignore chores, but it’s important to clean your home regularly to reduce allergens and irritants. A thorough dusting with a damp cloth instead of a feather duster; is a great way to keep your air clean. But don’t forget to suck it up, mop it up, and keep it out! Vacuuming and then mopping will get rid of any particles that are lingering on your floors. In addition,  leaving a large floor mat at every door will reduce the amount of pesticides and other pollutants; that come in via the dirt on your shoes.

Be Proactive

If condensation is collecting around window sills, walls or pipes, dry it quickly. Increasing ventilation and air movement in moist rooms is the best way to prevent mold growth. Because in most cases, if a damp area is dried within 48 hours of a leak or spill; mold will not grow. Turn on a fan or open a window while or immediately after; showering, cooking, and dishwashing will also help prevent mold growth.
