Afterwards i have to dust atleast every 3 or 4 days and change my filter on the air conditioner every week. The Cellulose has a fine dust that will leak into your house over time and you will see it everywhere. Before I had it blown in i would dust every 2 or 3 weeks and change the filter on the hvac system every 1 to 2 months. Now it has been in here about 6 or 7 years and the dust has slowed down to about 1/3 as bad now. I wished i had never did it ! I would use anything but Cellulose blown in insulation. TURTLE |
