Additional steps to reduce office allergens:

• Instead of sweeping, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from floors, including corners and edges
• Vacuum carpets 1 to 2 times a week
• If your office has forced hot-air heating, regularly change the filter to help control dust.
• Replace carpets and rugs. Hardwood floors are easier to keep dust free.
• Minimize use of overstuffed furniture and curtains, which can trap dust.
• During summer months, close the windows and use air conditioning to minimize exposure to pollens and molds.
• Use a vacuum with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) filter, which is an efficient way to remove small particles of dust and other indoor allergens.
• Reduce Humidity to less than 50% using a dehumidifier or an air conditioner.
