The world is full of toxins and smog. When you’re home, you want to make sure that you and your family are breathing the cleanest air possible. We have a few suggestions to make sure that your home has the purest air possible.
Purchase a Purifier
If you want to be sure that the air you breathe inside your home is at its cleanest, install an air purifier, such as the Airpura V600. It will reduce allergens in your home, get rid of any funky odors, and significantly reduce outgassing.
If you have small children or elderly people living in your home, consider placing a few purifiers around your home. The Surround Air N-Lite is a great example of one that small and relatively noiseless. It will pick up any added allergens, odors, or formaldehyde still floating around your rooms.
Replace Filters Often
Replace the filters in your air purifiers and furnace at least once a month. Not only will it guarantee better air quality and relieve allergy symptoms, it will reduce the energy output created by your home each month. Plus, it reduces the risk of fire, as particles collected in these filters are extremely flammable. If your unit allows, purchase HEPA filters to greatly reduce the allergens in your home.
Grow House Plants
Perhaps one of the best things you can do for your home is to fill it with plants. Not only do plants make a room more inviting, they act as nature’s air filter. Plants require carbon dioxide, which is what we breathe out, in order to complete photosynthesis. Essentially, they breathe in what we expire. Plus, once a plant has processed the carbon dioxide, it “breathes out” pure oxygen. This leaves your house full of clean and pure air that is healthy for the whole family.
