Did you know that on average we spend 90% of our day indoors? How about that on average 3,400 gallons of air are inhaled into your lungs every day? Throughout the month of February, Complete Home Solutions is celebrating National Care About Your Indoor Air Month and giving you tips are how to ensure the air in your home is clean and healthy this month, and for years to come.
Here are some simple things to do around your home to improve indoor air quality:
- Keep your home clean. By sweeping, washing your bedding, and dusting surfaces you can eliminate the buildup of dust and bacteria floating around your home
- Keep plants outdoors. While experts tout the health benefits of having live plants inside your home, they can also be a easy breeding ground for bacteria and mold to grow.
- Invest in an air purifier. By placing air purifiers in the most used areas of your home, it can capture irritants that may help trigger allergy symptoms.
- Let fresh air in. Even in winter months it is important to occasionally crack a door or window to help let fresh air in your home.
- Use exhaust fans in your kitchen. By using the exhaust fan in your kitchen, it removes any air contaminants associated with raw food or cooking fumes that could be floating around your kitchen.
By doing these simple tasks, you could be taking the first steps to improving the air quality in your home. For more information on how to take larger steps in improving the air quality in your home, call Complete Home Solutions today at (410) 867-1202!
