After a fire or flood, it’s important to take steps to restore indoor air quality in your home. This is especially true in Tennessee, where the humid climate can lead to mold and mildew growth if moisture isn’t properly removed.
There are a few things you can do to clean up the air in your home and prevent further damage:
1. Open windows and doors to air out the house.
2. Remove wet materials like carpeting, upholstery, and curtains.
3. Clean all surfaces with a mild soap and water solution.
4. Use a HEPA filter vacuum to remove soot and debris.
5. Run an air purifier to help remove airborne contaminants.
