GET BETTER INDOOR AIR QUALITY OVERNIGHT

As we enter the fall season and the air outside turns crisp, give some thought to ways you can instantly freshen the air inside. Not with artificially scented room sprays, but these simple strategies:

1. Open the windows and use exhaust fans when you clean, especially if you are using chemically based cleaners.
   
   
2. Reduce your inventory of household supplies that contain chemicals. Paint, solvents and cleaners can leak harmful emissions into your garage and home if they leak or are not sealed well. Buy what you need when you need it, and avoid stockpiling.
   
   
3. If you still allow people to smoke inside your home, stop. Second hand cigarette smoke, which contains more than 4,000 chemicals, including known carcinogens, is bad for everyone, even if you’re not the one with the smoking habit.
   
   
4. Watch your feet. It’s amazing what gets tracked into the house: leaves, dirt, mud, grass—and that’s just the stuff you can see. Make it a point to take your shoes off when you enter the home. Don’t run out to the garage or driveway in your bare feet, then track in contaminants. It sounds like a small thing, but you’ll be pleased at how much cleaner your floors and carpets stay just by adapting this one strategy.

Even simple things can add up to make a difference in making a healthy home. If you want to make a radical improvement in your indoor air quality, install a central vacuum system, which removes virtually all dirt and debris and transports it to a sealed canister away from living space. Best of all, a qualified distributor can usually install one in a day, with little disruption to your home. Learn more about central vacuums systems here.
