There are so many different methods that can be used to improve the air quality of your home and, in the long run, strengthening your family’s health. While we all know of many of the basics like changing the air filter in the furnace and having the vents and ducts cleaned, there are plenty of options to help ensure that your family is consistently breathing in the highest quality air.
There is always the option to first apply a certain air tester throughout the home to help determine exactly what details are most in need of improvement and what can be done to clean. These testers can be purchased at a number of online locations as well as any local home supply store. Some tests are specifically for mold, while others are kits that contain multiple tests for chemical pollutants and other dangerous air contaminants.
Once the air has been tested by the best for your area or region, then it can be determined what will best be done to help cleanse the air of any pollution that exists within the home. Some of those things may be the mold that has attached to walls, floors or within vents. There is also the possibility that outdated flooring, wall coverings, paint or other contracted or decorated items may contain those pollutants that are being released into the air. A minor remodel may be needed to update those items or make sure that the adhesives or paint on the floor or walls do not contain chemicals that are being released into the air and dangerous to the family’s respiratory systems.
If you have found a reduction in the quality of air in your home, then there are a number of specific filtration systems that can help with a long-term improvement process in addition to the basic change of the HVAC filters or cleaning of the ducts and vents in your system. A list of some of the nation’s leading air purifiers exists, in case there is a specific room that needs improvement in air quality. Additionally, there are a number of large and overall improvement systems that can help the entire home as a whole. These include Wave Home Solutions, Blue Ox Air Cleaners and many others that may be sold specifically close to your town or region.
If any of these seem to be time consuming or costly, another simple method to help keep the air in the house clean is to maintain a regular clean sweep. Whether it is weekly or monthly, there are always important chores that can be managed like dusting, vacuuming and cleaning of windows and hardwood and tile floors to keep all the allergens, dust and other irritating air fillers from clogging up the home. It will maintain an overall breathing-friendly environment and allow a longer period of time until actual contractual updates needed to be made to the home. Just make sure that some of those basics like the air filter of the HVAC system and the inside of the vacuum are kept up-to-date and clean as well. Good luck!
