If the air ducts of your home are blocked by thick deposits of dust that have accumulated through years of neglect, then you won't efficiently get air to circulate. This is reflected in the body with the accumulation of tar through years of smoking. If this happens to your home, you need to contract an air duct cleaning service to have it cleaned up.

After which, you'll also need to take care of air filter cleaning.
Taking a Deep Breath
