Spring is here, and with it comes the dreaded allergy season! Eric G dives into three top-notch tips to help you breathe easier indoors, making your space a haven from all that pollen and dust. First up, he emphasizes the importance of your stove's exhaust fan. Seriously, turning that thing on before you even think about cooking is like giving your indoor air quality a high-five! It helps to whisk away all those cooking fumes and potential allergens right out of your home. Think of it as a spa day for your air—let it inhale fresh outdoor vibes, minus the kitchen odors! Next on the agenda? Spring cleaning! No, not the kind where you shove everything under the bed and call it a day. Eric encourages a thorough decluttering and cleaning routine to combat dust bunnies that have set up camp in your home. He even shares his love for robotic vacuums—because who has time to vacuum when you could be binge-watching your favorite show? Keeping a clean space is like giving your lungs a little spring break from that pesky indoor pollution. Finally, let’s chat about your bathroom fan. Eric reminds us that it’s not just there for show! Running it after showers helps eliminate moisture, keeping mold at bay. And if your bathroom fan is a relic from the past, it might be time for an upgrade. We're talking about a fan that actually moves air like it means business! So grab a comfy chair, tune in, and let’s clear the air—literally! Takeaways: Make sure to turn on your kitchen stovetop fan before you start cooking to improve air quality. Cleaning your home regularly not only reduces clutter but also helps minimize dust and allergens. A robust bath fan is essential; run it for at least 20 minutes after showers to reduce humidity. Always check outdoor air quality before opening windows in spring to avoid bringing in allergens.
