1.) HVAC Filters:
- When you head to the store, look on the filter packaging for the one that says “healthy living filter” and has a microparticle rating of 1500 or above to capture at least 90 percent of large particles such as pollen and mold spores from the air passing through the filter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends checking your filter monthly and changing it at least every three months.

I had heard about this website through my sister due to recent minor medical problems. I looked it up, had a consultation, and am very happy to say me and my family have not felt this well in a long time! And the help you get from them is phenomenal! If, and when, you’re ready to take the first step to a healthy home, I would recommend this site.
Thanks so much Ann! We appreciate your feedback 🙂 Wishing you and your family continued health & happiness!!!
I recently moved into a condo that I had just bought, discovered there was mold in the cabinets (under the sinks) and bought the DIY mold testing kits myself they had on their site….wow. Now I’ve called in a contractor to deal with it. You really offer some good tips that I never thought of before.
So happy to hear our information was useful to you Susan! A lot of people are not aware of the reliable and affordable DIY test kits which are a great place to start and can save hundreds of dollars and offer peace of mind.
I am a house manager with a caregiving agency. I decided to do their 30 day program, change your home, change your health, as there are quite a few respiratory problems with my clients. And with all the medications they take and allergy season upon us, I am always on the look out for solutions to help my clients, and if it works out well for us, I will definitely recommend to other house managers.
