Keep the air clean: Regularly vacuum, dust, and clean surfaces to remove dust, dirt, and other particles that can contribute to poor air quality. Use a HEPA-filter vacuum cleaner, to trap small particles.
-
Control humidity: High humidity can lead to the growth of mold and other allergens, so it’s important to keep humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent. Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to control humidity levels.
-
Improve ventilation: Make sure that the air in your home or office is circulating properly. Open windows and doors when weather permits, use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and consider installing a whole-house ventilation system.
-
Use air-purifying plants: Certain plants, such as Spider plants, English Ivy, Snake plant, and Areca Palm, can naturally purify the air by removing harmful pollutants.
-
Avoid using products that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Many cleaning products, pesticides, and air fresheners emit VOCs, which can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Look for products that are labeled as “VOC-free” or use natural alternatives.
-
Do not smoke indoors and prohibit smoking in your building.
-
Regularly service and maintain your HVAC systems to ensure that they are working at optimal performance.
