Steps for better indoor quality

Here are 4 steps for purify the air in your home or office.

1. Proper Ventilation

Be it office or home, proper ventilation is necessary if you want to maintain better indoor quality. Many shut the windows to prevent outdoor pollution but trust me keeping the windows open for a couple of hours will actually benefit the indoor air quality. The air indoors need frequent flow of air exchange thus releasing foul odor, mold and mildew from indoors.

2. Turn on the AC

Especially during summer times, turn on your air conditioner. As many pollutants are water soluble, air conditioners work efficiently in eliminating them from the atmosphere indoors. Air conditioners also remove pollens says Schachter to WebMD.

3. HEPA air purifier

A high efficiency particular air filter (HEPA filter) works best in getting rid of almost 99% of the pollens such as mold, mildew, dust that are invisible to our eyes. They come with high level of carbon that helps in sucking all the bad odor and air while releasing purified air with moments of installation.

Though it is not clear as to how these electronic purifiers perform, they seem to have worked with many users in promoting fresh breathe of air. However do note that they do not work with heavy dust that falls before the air purifier can grab hold of it says Environmental Protection Agency. So if you expect the air purifier to do the job of vacuum cleaner then you are in for a surprise.

4. Clutter free home/office

Make your home or office clutter free. Leftover foods in kitchen, leaky pipe, messy wardrobe, wet carpet, piles of books in a corner, pizza box under your bed, piled up desks at office; moist clothes often breed bacteria and pollens that are no blessing for your health. Keep your indoors clean and if possible grow some interior plants that work in getting rid of pollutants naturally.
