How To Reduce Airborne Dust And Pollen

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Giuseppe Grammatico is the president of Heits Building Services- Central and Northern N.J., the area's most trusted team of NJ commercial cleaners. According to him, the best way to reduce the amount of dust and pollen in any buildingcommercial or otherwiseis to keep the windows closed in the morning. When closing the windows isn't an option, there are still other things that people can do to help reduce pollen in an office building.

Keep the Windows Closed
While it is important that building owners stay vigilant about keeping their buildings free of dust all year around, it is especially important in the springtime months, when airborne pollen is at its greatest. In the spring, especially, in the mornings, you would always want to keep your windows closed if you can. And as far as reducing pollen and dust, that is all you can really do.

Dust the Vents
To keep airborne dust and pollen down, another good way is to dust the vents in the building on a weekly basis. Dust that settles on air vents can get stirred up each time the air conditioning comes on, which means that employees who work in the building could be feeling the effects of pollen and allergies even when the windows are closed.

Keep HVAC System Clean
Another important thing that building owners can do to decrease airborne dust is to keep their HVAC systems clean and clear at all times. To do this, they need to make sure that their commercial cleaners are checking the air conditioner and heating system on a regular basis for buildups in the air ducts. Additionally, the janitorial service should be making sure that the air filters are being changed on a regular basis. If this doesn't happen, then pollen and dust can build up in the air filters on the HVAC system and get spread throughout the building every time the system gets turned on.

Use a HEPA Filter
Putting a HEPA filter on any vacuums that are used to clean the carpet in the building is another way to decrease the chances of pollen making its way from area to area, since a regular vacuum can actually drag debris into new rooms rather than pick it up and keep it sealed inside the vacuum bag. A HEPA filter is just an additional filter that people can put on their vacuums. The filter itself separates the dust and pollen from the air, and then filters it without reducing the suction power of the vacuum.

Because the HEPA filter itself is very fine, it can reduce the amount of dust that is being released from the vacuum back onto the ground or into the air. It is highly recommended for use in homes or businesses where people have severe allergies. The HEPA line of products doesn't just stop at vacuum filters. We frequently recommend that our clients invest in HEPA air filters for their buildings as well, since those can also be used to reduce airborne dust and pollen.

If the air filter you purchase is a true HEPA filter, then you can be confident that it will be able to filter more of the airborne dust than nearly any other product. Of course, it is almost impossible to eliminate 100% of it.

Hire Commercial Cleaners
The last thing that I recommend to decrease pollen and dust levels is to invest in a microfiber cloth system or hire commercial cleaners in NJ who have a microfiber setup of their own. At Heits Building Services- Central and Northern N.J., each cleaning crew is given a special cloth that attracts dust and eliminates the amount of dust that gets into the air. So in one pass, you pick up the dust and then it doesn't come off that cloth until you vacuum the cloth outside.

When it comes to reducing airborne dust, there is only so much that commercial cleaners in NJ can do. It is up to the owner of the building to treat the HVAC system. All we can do is to dust the vents and prevent the dust from being spread all over.
