The advice comes first
If cleaning isn’t likely to help, we want you to know that. This site draws on published guidance and Andy Brunsch’s field experience with Better Air Spokane and Better Air Northwest, with a clear distinction between the two.
Andy owns Better Air Spokane and has family connections to Better Air Northwest and Better Air NW in Seattle. The same contractor criteria apply to affiliated businesses and everyone else; payment will not determine quality assessments.
