Many homeowners blame indoor pollutants on mildew, mold, cigarette smoke, and pet dander. Indeed, these are all conventional forms of pollutants. However, typical household clutter may also negatively impact indoor air quality.

How Clutter Contributes to Poor Indoor Air Quality

A cluttered space provides more surface area for pollen, dust mites, and other airborne particles to cling to. Excessive clutter also leads to more hard-to-reach areas. Homeowners often ignore these spots, thus allowing more particles to accrue over time.

A cluttered room also has limited airflow. A clean air duct is obviously vital for ample circulation. However, even a clean ventilation system can only do so much if the room is littered in dust-covered junk.

Air quality aside, researchers have linked clutter to numerous other health problems. Neuroscientists at Princeton University, for example, discovered that clutter diminished one’s ability to concentrate on cognitive tasks. If you follow feng shui, some say that clutter also disrupts chi energy flow.

The Lesson? Clear Your Room

Any room can benefit from some spring cleaning (even if it’s not spring). Follow these simple tips for a cleaner home interior:

Discard or give away at least 10 items from your closet
Keep flat surfaces as clear as possible
Wash and put away dishes right away
Instruct your kids to put away their toys when not in use
Use kitchen carousels to keep appliances off of the counter
Limit decorative items that serve no functional use

Clutter-Free Rooms = Higher Indoor Air Quality

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
