Winter is here and whether you live in Florida like I do or somewhere in the more frigid part of our country, now is the time to change your home air filter. During the cold winter months we spend more time inside trying to stay warm. Not only is our family home more we have more guests as we go through the holiday season. Every person who enters our home brings with them dirt, germs and allergens <eww>. One thing we can do to maintain a healthy home is to use an air filter that captures those microscopic particles and helps them from spreading.

Healthy Home Tips

• Take shoes off when entering the home to reduce dirt and germs being tracked into the home
• Disinfect door handles including cabinets and appliances
• Clean all of the throw blankets that you cuddle up in regularly
• Use an allergen reduction air filter
• Have a working smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in your home

As a Filtrete blogger I’ll be receiving a few different air filters to use in my home. I am most excited to start using the Allergen Defense filter. This filter lasts up to 3 months and it attracts and traps large allergens like pollen, mold spores and pet dander as well as microscopic particles like smoke and smog; thus cleaning these things out of the air in my home and allowing me to breathe easier. This winter we will change the filter to the Healthy Living 1900 which does a great job at trapping microscopic particles that carry bacteria, molds and other contaminants. We will be using this air filter as part of our effort to keep our family healthy this winter.

Until my allergies got really bad, I never gave the air quality in my home a second thought. I didn’t think about the pollution that is in the air inside my home, who does? In my mind since no one in my home smoked then the air quality was fine. This was not true, there are so many microscopic particles floating around us all the time but since we can’t see them we forget they are there. Upgrading our air filters is one easy way we can keep our family healthier and you can too.
