We’re rooting for our friends at JHB Cleaning Services as they aim to earn the title of Best Cleaning Service in The Bulletin’s Best of the Best of Bend 2025.

Jakob and his team don’t just clean homes; they actively support a healthier, more connected Central Oregon, and we see that same dedication in how they show up for Breathe Easy Bend.

Let’s rally behind a team that keeps Bend feeling like home.

Clean air. Clean homes. Clean sweep 💨🏆

While JHB Cleaning just won Platinum in both Best Home Cleaner and Best Cleaning Service, we see this as a win for Breathe Easy Bend, too, because at the end of the day, we’re here to make Bend a healthier, safer place to breathe, live, and thrive.

Whether it’s purifiers in wildfire season or deep cleans year-round, we’re committed to raising the standard of clean across Central Oregon, one home, one business, one breath at a time.

Thank you, Bend. This momentum fuels everything we’re building.

🌷Reminder: Crack Those Windows While You Can!

We’re finally getting some fresh, sunny moments in Bend —a perfect time to open your windows and refresh your indoor air.

💡 Did you know? The EPA reports that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, even on days with average AQI. Between cooking, cleaning, pets, and dust buildup, things can get stuffy fast!

Let that fresh air in. Your lungs will thank you. 💨

Before we share this with the wider community, I wanted to release it here first—to all of you who’ve supported Breathe Easy Bend from day one. 🙌

The Wildfire Smoke Impact Assessment is a short report we created to better understand how local businesses are affected by wildfire smoke, from employee health and productivity to customer experience and indoor air quality concerns.

If you're a local business owner, I’d love to hear your thoughts or personal experience.

This 3–5 minute assessment helps us understand how wildfire smoke affects businesses in Downtown Bend. Your responses will guide future funding, support programs, and indoor air quality solutions to help local businesses stay open and healthy during smoke season. All responses will remain confiden...

Now's the time to take action for cleaner indoor air!

BEND NEARLY TOPS U.S. LIST -- FOR SMOKE: Bend is ranked as the third-smokiest city in the U.S. from 2019-2023, a new study finds. The new normal affects businesses and outdoor events.

You can’t always see air pollution, but you can feel it.

Would you be able to tell if your indoor air quality is poor?

Between wildfire smoke, allergens, and winter air trapped indoors, the quality of the air we breathe matters. Poor air quality can lead to headaches, fatigue, and even long-term health effects.

That’s why Breathe Easy Bend Initiative is working to make affordable air purification solutions available to more homes and businesses in Bend.

Drop a 💨 if clean air is a priority for you!

The Community Interest List is growing fast, and the support for clean indoor air in Bend is increasing! 🚀

Next week, we’ll be meeting with two key local organizations to explore ways to expand access to affordable air purification solutions. These conversations are a big step toward making clean air more accessible.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far—let’s keep the momentum going!

Breathe Easy Bend Initiative (BEBI) is a community-driven program providing high-quality air purifier rentals to businesses and residents, helping Bend stay safe during wildfire season. By partnering with local businesses and individuals, BEBI ensures cleaner indoor air.

We’ve received questions about what we mean by “affordable” and the details behind the air purifier rental process at Breathe Easy Bend Initiative (BEBI).

We completely understand the concerns—here’s what we’re doing:

“Affordable” means: carefully researching and pricing our air purification rentals to make them realistically accessible to as many people as possible, without compromising quality.

Transparency and Clarity: Soon, we'll be releasing clear pricing tiers, detailed rental options, and even an affiliate program to help offset costs and enhance community access.

Our Commitment: While we can’t promise air purification will be free for everyone, our primary goal is to ensure healthier indoor air becomes achievable for a wider community in Bend—particularly during critical wildfire months.

We appreciate your patience as we finalize these details—stay tuned for updates and keep the feedback coming!
