Once your home is clean and your contents are stabilized, it’s all about keeping it that way. Here are a few tips to maintain your indoor sanctuary:

🌀 Air Maintenance

• Run HEPA air purifiers in main living areas and bedrooms.

• Change HVAC filters regularly (MERV 13 or higher if tolerated).

• Avoid fragrance products, plug-ins, and chemical cleaners that can add stress to your system.

🧽 Surface Maintenance

• Dust frequently with damp microfiber towels to avoid redistributing particles.

• Vacuum with a sealed HEPA vacuum 2–3 times a week in recovery, weekly afterward.

• Use safe, non-toxic cleaners—EC3, vinegar, or botanical-based sprays.

📦 Stored Items

• Reassess stored sentimental items every few months.

• If stored in a garage or storage unit, check for temperature swings or humidity.

• Clean bins before reintroducing their contents into your home.
