The Maids • Sep 26, 2013

The air in any house carries many contaminants and allergens that affect everyone around it. House cleaning helps, but reducing air pollution is essential to a healthier home for everyone to enjoy.

You might even begin to notice an increase in energy levels or a reduction in illness.

A house is considered one of the top areas to carry sickness and allergy issues. Most of this is due to the air and the pollutants within it. Closed windows can contribute significantly as well and stimulate illness and allergies. In fact, allergies kick in for most people too at that time. Furnaces do stir up the contaminants in the air and so does body movements.

Using air purifiers is a big way to help cut back on those air pollutants and irritants. Floor and table models are widely available, but there are also plug-in models. However, the plug-in models don't work as well for room filtration. Nevertheless, they can be great as an add-on to a desk area or storage room No matter what you purchase; it will help to reduce allergens and pollutants.

An additional technique involves placing window fans in some of the windows. When using this method, be sure to have other windows open to bring in the fresher air. You will have to clean the screens once in a while, but it is worth the results.

Another thing to consider when trying cleaning your home's air is your vacuum cleaner. Cheaper models will shuffle the contaminants around and they will dispense them into the air. Yes, they pick up well but tend to shuffle the polluted air around in your home. HEPA vacuums help a bit more, but cheaper versions send a lot of air around the filter or through gaps and cracks. More expensive models force most of the air into the HEPA filter so the exhausted air is cleaner and healthier. That can be important, especially since you're kicking up nastiness from the carpet.

Air contaminants will always exist in every single household, but the good news is that you can utilize several strategies to make your home a healthier place for friends and family.
