You’ve likely heard the term indoor air quality before, and you may even realize how important it is, but Cool Air Solutions wants to make sure you comprehend what could potentially be influencing the quality of air in your home.
When you are spending quite a bit of time in your home you can allow dust, dirt and other contaminants to build up within your home and affect the air inside. It might be hard to believe, but the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that concentrations of pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors versus outdoors.
Here are a few steps you can do to help control the indoor air quality in your home.
- Remove the contaminants – One of the best ways to increase the air quality is to truly eliminate the dust and debris. Vacuum and clean at least once a week. You should also wash your bed linens regularly.
- Properly store household products and cleaning supplies – This helps to keep any fumes contained, especially for anyone in your family who may be sensitive to odors.
- Ensure your home is properly ventilated – Newer buildings are well-insulated and sealed to help conserve energy, so it’s critical to have proper ventilation to allow airborne pollutants to depart from the home.
- Control the amount of moisture in the home – The EPA also advises keeping indoor humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent.
