How to Clean Indoor Air

How to Clean Indoor Air

If constant sneezing, wheezing, and coughing are making you batty, it’s probably not a cold that’s ailing you. After all, a cold can only last so long. Rather, if the cold-like symptoms persist for weeks and maybe even months at a time, the root cause most likely is contaminated indoor air. Fortunately, the problem has several effective DIY solutions. Here’s a sampling:

  • Surround yourself with house plants – especially certain species like Boston Fern and Spider plants that are known for their air-cleaning properties.
  • Switch to a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. It traps more dust and dirt than conventional models.
  • Change your furnace and AC filters on a regular basis to keep even more pollutants out of the air.

  • Switch from chemical to natural home cleaning products.
  • Take your shoes off at entrance ways to prevent pesticides, pollen, and other pollutants from spreading throughout the house.
  • Some essential oils, like tea tree, can reduce airborne bacteria. Others include eucalyptus, clove and rosemary. They’re also effective at reducing the number of dust mites.
  • Even more than pet fur, dander (skin cells) can bring about asthma-like symptoms or make your existing condition worse. If you have a pet, be sure to keep dander to a minimum by cleaning them regularly, brushing them outdoors if you can and vacuuming floors and furnishings with a HEPA filter.
  • Whenever possible, open windows to vent trapped air pollutants.
  • Fix leaky faucets and pipes right away and mop up the water to prevent mold from forming.

For a more global solution, contact Correct Temp about our multiple indoor air quality solutions. These include in-duct UV lamps and air filtration systems that can trap and kill 95% and more of airborne pollutants. For better quality indoor air, it’s Correct Temp to the rescue.
