Leaving your shoes at the door is a custom in many homes, but it's also a way to prevent toxins from entering your home and contributing to poor air quality.
One way to immediately breathe cleaner at home is to have the air ducts professionally cleaned. The dust that accumulates in the air ducts is constantly being blown throughout your house, easily contributing to you and your family breathing less clean air.
Different houseplant species absorb different pollutants from the air, so maintain several varieties of houseplants in your home to keep the air cleaner. Robust plants with dead foliage removed and the soil exposed to the air perform better than sickly or infrequently tended houseplants.
The hair of our canine and feline housemates accumulates on furniture and in the corners of rooms. Vacuum thoroughly twice as often as you normally would so that the dust and pet dander is kept to a minimum.
Shoes bring home dirt, toxins, harsh cleaners, pet dander and spores from all of the places you visit each day. Leave the shoes at the door to prevent those unwanted specks from taking up residence in your carpet at home.
Avoiding smoking cigarettes and burning incense may seem like common sense but eliminating things like candles, air fresheners and perfume may not be so obvious, although they also contribute to poor air quality.
Portable air purifiers may also help improve air quality in a home but may only affect a small room or a portion of a larger room. Check the manufacturer's specifications before purchasing any purifying units so you know what to expect.
Great list.
Thanks for sharing this list. Very good points to take in.
