Top Tips For Clean Indoor Air
|
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reported that Indoor
air can contain up to 5 times as much pollution as outdoor air.
Allergies and asthma are on the rise so cleaning indoor air in your
home and work place is more important than ever as this can greatly
reduce symptoms according to Dr. John Winder, an allergist for the
Nationwide Asthma Screening Program of the American College of
Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
These are some clean indoor air top tips:
When you dust your house with a cloth you a often spreading dust
around. You vacuum based tools to dust with instead. Make sure you
dont avoid difficult to reach areas like space under beds, drapes
and moldings.
A great tip for dusting small objects is to cover the nozzle of
your vacuum cleaner with a pair of tights or fine cloth. Put the
vacuum on a low suction level and run the small objects over the
front of the vacuum nozzle. This sucks all the dust off without the
object disappearing in to the vacuum! Note: Be sure to use a scrap
material to cover the vacuum nozzle as it can get ruined in the
process.
Wrap pillows and mattresses in allergen-protective covers and
regularly vacuum them.
When you wash your linens make sure the water is hot (130 degrees
or above) to ensure dust mites and their eggs are killed off
properly.
Deep clean your carpets & floor surfaces once every season at
least.
To really thoroughly achieve clean indoor air get an air purifier
to remove all the airborne pollutants.
Clean indoor air is also about humidity.. maintain a cool & dry
home. Keep humidity to 50% or less. You can use a humidifier to aid
in this but make sure you frequently empty the unit to prevent the
growth of mold in the tank.
Try to avoid letting your pets sleep in the bedrooms.
Keep stuffed animals and busy shelves to a minimum as these are
real dust-catcher locations. If you have lots of stuffed toys vacuum
them frequently.. but carefully of course!!
Follow this great advice and you will have super clean indoor air in
no time.
