A: Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, including:
• smokers in the household;
• pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander
• water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system; and
• residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants.
