You won’t find every pollutant by looking around the house.
The shocking truth is the air inside your home can be much more polluted than what you’ll find outdoors.
Keep your family safe and make your health a priority by actively finding pollutants in your home, and removing them with helpful pointers. You don’t have to be an avid duster to know dust will coat the floors and walls within your home; Put your family’s health first by efficiently dusting furniture and shelves from top to bottom, and wiping down countertops and electronics often. Eliminate the amount of dust in your home by washing linens and curtains, vacuuming floors; even your mattresses frequently, as the front door opens and closes all day long. One major factor is dirt. As you and your guests come and go, dirt gets tracked through your home, adding to the pollutants residing in your space. Consistent vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping of tile, wood, and carpet areas is the easiest way to diminish the amount of dirt on your floor. Consider keeping a shoe rack by your front door to avoid a mess being tracked across your floor. Between wet surfaces and food preparation stations, your home can easily grow bacteria and have airborne pollutants. Sponge are bacteria magnets, but microwaving them in an inch of water for a minute will kill the bacteria on sponges. Use three tablespoons of bleach in a diluted water concoction to scrub down and eliminate bacteria on your surfaces. Bathrooms are naturally damp and moist. Mold can lurk around your shower or sink. Prevent breathing in this unwanted guest by spraying vinegar on surfaces. Let it air-dry to kill mold spores and eliminate mold growth. Remember to run your exhaust fan while showering to respectfully give ventilation in your washroom.
