Everyday items-carpets, furniture, cleaners, paints, candles-emit fumes. Tightly sealed modern homes trap stale air and contaminants. Prevention starts simple: seal chemical products, vacuum weekly, wash bedding regularly, keep humidity 25-55%, ensure proper ventilation, and skip scented air fresheners. Have your home tested for dust, pollen, and chemicals. Bud's can help test and improve your system's ventilation and maintenance to keep your air fresh and clean.
