Love and Your Indoor Air
Well, it is the month when love is in the air. Honestly, we should always have love “in the air”. But, that is all that should be in your indoor breathing air. We should be doing our best to keep all the harmful things out of our indoor breathing air. And what could be more loving than that. How do we go about that?
First, clean often. Especially vacuuming and mopping can keep particulates from getting into your breathing atmosphere. If you use a vacuum with a HEPA filter it helps even more.
Second, take out the garbage often. The gases and odors that ruminate from the garbage can get quickly into the indoor air. Get that stuff out of there quickly.
Next, keep the surfaces in your kitchen as clean as possible. That too can affect the breathing atmosphere.
Fourth, always make sure your home is well ventilated. That may even mean opening your window even for a few minutes during the colder months.
Last, but certainly not least, change your air filters consistently. The rule of thumb is generally once a month.
All of these things will help keep your indoor air clean and fresh. And what is more loving than that!
