Have you ever felt that no matter how often you clean, those pesky dust bunnies seem to reappear the next day? You’re not alone. The average six-room house collects 40 pounds of dust each year. Dust bunnies are in every home, no matter how clean it is. And, with people spending up to 90 percent of their time indoors, it’s more important than ever to ensure your home’s air is as clean, comfortable and healthy as possible.

New Studies show that the installation of American Standard AccuClean™, a whole house air filtration system, reduces dust accumulation in the home by more than 50 percent — meaning you can dust less and have a healthier, cleaner home environment.1

What’s in house dust and dust bunnies?

Many items you and your family don’t want to breathe in, including dust mite debris, mold and fungal spores, pollen, shed skin cells and pet dander.

Why is it important to remove dust?

It allows for a healthier, cleaner and more comfortable home for your family. Reduced accumulation of dust in your home may lead to reduced exposure to allergens (such as fungal spores) and toxins (such as lead) present in surface dust, helping prevent allergy symptoms and asthma attacks.¹

Are children more sensitive to dust?

Removing dust is especially important for children because they inhale and ingest more dust than adults. This is because children breathe faster and inhale 50 perfect more air per pound of body weight than adults, making them more sensitive to the allergens and toxins that dust may contain. In fact, children ingest anywhere from 50 mg to 100 mg of dust per day, which is 100 times more than adults ingest.1 To put it in perspective, this amounts to about a teaspoon of dust every six weeks.
