With the drop in temperature outside and AQI getting worse every day, the air inside our homes can also become stale, dry, and polluted. This can have adverse effects on our health and well-being. We got in touch with our expert, Theo Jones, Dyson Engineer, who shared some tips on how to maintain better indoor air quality inside your home.
5 Tips To Improve Air Quality Indoors
1. Use Air Purifiers
“Maintaining a healthy indoor environment remains optimal to safeguard occupant well-being. Investing in an air purifier is one of the most effective ways to remove a wide range of pollutants from the air. Advanced filtration technologies, such as HEPA and carbon filters, can remove a wide range of pollutants, including dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and VOCs,” shared Theo.
2. Use Cleaning Products Wisely
Jones explained, “Some of the VOCs found in our homes can come from the chemicals in cleaning products we use on kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, and windows. Using natural cleaning products can help lower the amount of VOCs in your indoor air.”
3. Use Scents In Moderation
“Some of the things we might enjoy at home, like scented candles, can also be sources of indoor air pollution. Rather than completely letting go of lighting candles, try them in moderation, preferably in the evening,” said Theo.
4. Be Careful When Letting In ‘Fresh Air’
Jones mentioned, “If you reside close to a high-traffic area or a busy road, opening the window can allow outdoor pollution, gases like nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, into your home.”
5. Vacuum Regularly
“When you dust your sofa or play with a cushion, one might see a burst of dust in the air. This dust can stay in the air indoors and be breathed in, however, regular vacuuming is one of the easiest ways to reduce particulate pollution at home,” added Theo.
