WILDFIRE SMOKE CAN CHANGE THE AIR INSIDE YOUR HOME
Smoke does not need to be visible indoors to affect how a room feels. Fine particles can enter through doors, windows, ventilation systems, attached garages, and everyday movement in and out of the home.
Prepare One Cleaner-Air Room
Choose one room where you can close windows and doors, limit outdoor air entry, and use effective air filtration.
Check the Equipment You Already Own
An air-cleaning unit may still turn on even when its filters, intake areas, or internal components need attention.
Check filters, clean dust from intake and outlet areas, review replacement dates, and make sure your equipment is appropriate for the size of the room you are trying to support.
Reduce the Smoke and Dust Coming Indoors
Keep windows and exterior doors closed when outdoor air quality is poor. Avoid activities that increase indoor particle levels, such as burning candles, frying food, smoking, or using equipment that stirs up dust.
When you return home, remove dusty shoes and outerwear near the entrance rather than carrying outdoor particles through the house.
