The Key to Keeping Indoor Air Fresh

While walking outdoors obviously exposes us to various forms of air pollution such as car exhaust fumes, secondhand smoke and other pollutants, what most people do not realize is that air inside their very own homes can be twice or even up to five times dirtier than the outdoor air. This difference comes from the fact that air outside continuously flows while air indoors tend to simply recirculate within the premises which means that accumulated dust and other particles are trapped inside. This is why stale indoor air feels heavier to breathe in than fresh air.

While airing out the house might be the obvious way to help clean the air by letting fresh air in, that simply is not a choice during the cold months wherein opening the windows means freezing everyone inside. Luckily, indoor air can still be clean during the winter months by ensuring that the furnace or heater is equipped with a fresh and clean high quality air filter such as Filtrete, a 3M air filter.

The Filtrete air filter line by 3M offers a wide range of air filters from basic pleated and flat air filters to state of the art anti allergen electrostatically charged filters.
