Tips to improve indoor air quality naturally
Did you know that Melbourne FL residents (and those throughout the nation) spend approximately 90% of their time indoors? While being mindful of the chemicals, toxins and materials that reside in your home is a great way to improve your indoor air quality, there are some things you can do to naturally improve it as well.
These tips to improve indoor air quality will help keep you and your Melbourne family and friends happy and healthy all year long:
- Routinely clean and/or change your HVAC system’s air filter. This is your first line of defense, filtering out harmful particulates from the air you breathe.
- Replace the air filter in all of your other appliances (such as dryers, vacuums and vents).
- Have your air ducts inspected and professionally cleaned at least once a year.
- Utilize cooking vents.
- Avoid excessive use of harmful cleaning chemicals and/or open the windows and use fans to enhance ventilation.
- Control the humidity of your home with a dehumidifier to reduce the growth of bacteria and mold spores taking hold
- Consider indoor plants to aid in naturally filtering the air.
