When you come home after a long day at work, the first thing you do is turn on the air conditioner to make your house the comfortable place that you know it to be. However, what if we told you that the indoor environs of your home are not as pure as you think it to be! The dust collected in the AC vents, the mold growing under your kitchen sink, your dog’s dander, and other such elements can seriously impact the quality of indoor air. So what you are breathing inside may be no better than what you breathe outside!
IS MY INDOOR AIR POLLUTED?
MY INDOOR AIR IS POLLUTED: WHAT DO I DO?
Replace air filter: Get your HVAC air filter cleaned at least once a month and replace it after 2-3 months to eliminate most of the contaminants that are circulating in the air.
Groom pets: Don't leave your pets dirty. Keep them clean and groomed, especially if you took them outside.
Indoor plants: Use indoor plants like Aloe Vera, Ficus Tree, Boston Fern etc. to naturally clean the indoor air. These plans can draw toxins from the environment and purify the air.
Ventilation: Ensure you have proper ventilation and a window to allow fresh air and sunlight in the room.
Vacuum with HEPA filter Use a vacuum that comes with HEPA filter as it can absorb all the toxins from all surfaces.
Healthy habits: Avoid smoking indoors and leave your footwear outside the house to prevent contaminating the air inside your house.
