HEPA air filter (they can get pricey but well worth the money and you can find some for a reasonable price.)and a vacuum with a HEPA filter (not too expensive these days). Open your windows anytime the weather permits. If you use your ceiling fan (good when you have the windows open!), dust them regularly. Don't use air fresheners- its bad for allergies, they have been shown to cause cancer.
As for your basement, open the window(s) while you clean it out. Put a fan in or near the window 'backwards' to blow the indoor air out while cleaning. Basements are dusty no matter how hard you clean, but having less stuff down there will help with cleanliness, plus its less stuff to dust!

The energy sources the companies use vary. The energy sources the companies use vary. Some of them include wind, hydro, solar, landfill methane, farm methane, and biomass. All of the electricity is produced within the Mid-Atlantic region. Please be aware that with most clean products, you will still receive a monthly bill from your standard utility company, but the clean product will be listed on your bill.
How much more will it cost?
Right now, clean energy carries a small additional cost, based on the kilowatt hours you use. Find a recent electric bill showing the kilowatt-hours you used to help you understand what the charge would be for using clean electricity. The prices listed by state show costs per kilowatt hour and the clean energy premium you will pay for an average usage of 700 kilowatt-hours per month.”
Remember, your purchase improves the energy sources for your home or business, your community, and the entire Mid-Atlantic region.

Organize and clean out your basement. Then sweep and wash the floors. Then vacuum the walls, ceiling and all the little corners, etc. That will keep down the dust. Plants will freshen the air. Also, if there is no smoking or aerosol sprays, etc., your home will have cleaner air.

Clean your house thoroughly and make sure the furnace filter is changed every 6 weeks or so. The return air system in your house picks up the air and basically recycles it thru your furnace and it comes back as heated air.
Your duct system may need cleaning also.

Clean from top to bottom and vacuum with a HEPA filter vacuum. Replace all air filters with high end filters on a regular basis. Houseplants help clean the air also.

You may want to check into having your duct work cleaned professionally. Check your Yellow Pages for this info.

I've seen the one by Oreck advertised on television. It seems pretty good. Of course, it costs $400+.

Try to find alternatives to the toxic products that may be in your home. Check/change filters seasonally.
