Holidays! Already? What About My Indoor Air?
I love the holidays! The family, traditions, foods, music, decorations, worship…all of it. My thoughts rarely go to cleaning (although it is definitely necessary) or the quality of my indoor air. However, with all the hustle and bustle that are the holidays indoor air quality can take a beating.
Here are just a few very simple things you can do to make the quality of your indoor air the best it can be even during this time:
- Keep your air filters checked/changed as necessary
- Use natural/organic items to decorate with
- Use essential oils to bring in the aromas of the season that you love
- Vacuum often and use HEPA filters in your vacuums.
- Make sure your dryer vents have been thoroughly cleaned.
- Consider having your carpets cleaned.
- Consider air duct cleaning if you haven’t had it done in the last 5-7 years.
These are just a few things that will go a long way to help you have the best quality indoor breathing atmosphere for your family. Enjoy everything about this holiday season. Take it one moment at a time and breathe it all in.
