Improving the air quality in your home doesn’t have to be complex. Here are five straightforward ways to achieve just that:
-
Floor Maintenance:
- Gravity makes floors a magnet for dirt and debris. Regular vacuuming and mopping are key.
- Opt for a HEPA-equipped vacuum and place substantial floor mats at entry points.
-
Moisture Reduction:
- Moisture breeds mildew, mold, and dust mites. Aim for a humidity level between 30 and 50 percent.
- Use a dehumidifier and fix leaky pipes; employ exhaust fans while cooking.
-
No Smoking Indoors:
- Smoking indoors introduces harmful substances into the air and leaves residues everywhere.
- Establish a no-smoking rule inside your home to protect indoor air quality.
-
Radon Testing:
- Radon, a colorless and odorless gas, can seep into homes through cracks, posing a serious health risk.
- Conduct a radon test to detect and address any issues promptly.
-
Reduce Synthetic Fragrances:
- Many scented products release chemicals into the air.
- Limit the use of synthetic fragrances and opt for natural alternatives; ensure proper ventilation.
