There are many things that can pollute the air in your home. Dust, allergens, and pollutants can all affect the health of you and your family. What are some ways that you can reduce these contaminants and improve air quality?
Be sure to have a good weekly cleaning schedule. Dust your home thoroughly, and vacuum the floors and upholstery of your furniture. Wash your bedding weekly. As for the products you use to clean with, choose ones with more natural, eco-friendly ingredients. Harsh chemicals can negatively impact your lungs and skin. If you have pets, bathe them to reduce the dander and dirt, especially if they go outside.
Get some nice houseplants! In addition to being beautiful, they can naturally clean your air. You may also choose to get air purifiers. These filter the air and reduce the dust count. Do your exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom work well? This will help cut down on air pollution from cooking oils and humidity. Be on alert for any mold growth. Take steps to get rid of any that you see. And open your windows now and then to get fresh air inside. A time that is beneficial to keep them closed is during high pollen season.
