How to Fix the Low Air Quality in Your Home

Many of our customers with allergies and asthma come to us for advice on fixing their homes’ air quality. Often they are frustrated because they have followed all the advice from websites like WebMD on how to make their indoor air as healthy as possible. Even after making significant lifestyle changes, they still feel as if the air they breathe is not as clean as it should be.

 

Most of these medical websites offer the following advice:

 

One of the most obvious ways of improving your home’s air quality is to keep it clean. Use a vacuum with a well-maintained HEPA filter at least twice a week. Don’t forget to vacuum your upholstery as well as your floors.

 

Use plain water or a microfiber cloth to gather up any dust that is left behind after vacuuming.

 

Make your home a smoke-free and shoe-free zone. If you don’t want to ask your visitors to remove their shoes, place an extra-large mat at the door, and clean it often.

 

Instead of using aerosol sprays, candles, or plug-in air fresheners that may emit volatile organic compounds, use baking soda, lemons, and live plants to improve the smell of your home naturally.

 

Is your home too humid? Reduce the likelihood of mold by controlling your home’s humidity level. Use exhaust fans when showering and take care of any plumbing leaks immediately.
