Spring cleaning your attic

Spring cleaning of the attic will never be listed as one of the most entertaining ways to spend a weekend, but it is definitely an activity that will help improve your family’s health. The attic is also one of the most overlooked living areas in your home. A clean and remodeled attic will enable you to put some great ideas into action that will add living space to your home.

Basic attic cleaning

Spring cleaning the attic requires a combination of common sense and protective equipment. Consider the following suggestions for proper attic cleaning:

• Vacuum the area with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter vacuum cleaner. HEPA vacuum systems are designed to channel the vacuumed air through a filter that is designed to remove microscopic particles.
• Vacuum or dust the walls, window frames, rafters, and ceiling. Do not forget to dust exposed roof trusses, ceiling fans, skylights, light bulbs, fixtures, hatches, and door frames.

• Be sure to wear gloves and a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) mask, which is designed to filter a high percentage of airborne particles.

• If you suffer from asthma or severe allergies, hire a professional cleaning service to remove the debris and perform the cleaning.
