The importance of good indoor air quality in your home cannot be understated. Your home is the place where you spend the most time – sleeping, eating, and relaxing – so of course, you want to make sure the air you’re breathing is as healthy as possible. Clean, healthy, indoor air will improve your overall well-being and health and mitigate issues relating to asthma, respiratory illness, allergies, and more.

Common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet dander, mold and milder, volatile organic compounds, cigarette smoke, and pollen and other outdoor allergens. If you have pets and/or children, your home is more likely to have more pollutants flying around. Other factors that might influence your indoor air quality include the age of your home, whether you live in a city or the county, regional outdoor air quality, traffic by your home, and/or wildfire risks.

Cleaning your home regularly and thoroughly will prevent the buildup of dust and debris that can get blown and swept throughout your home, reducing the indoor air quality. We recommend:

1. Regular cleaning and dusting on a weekly basis
2. Vacuuming carpets and upholstery
3. Wash bedding and curtains
4. Professional air duct cleaning every 2-3 years.

We recommend these essential home items to keeping your indoor air clean and healthy:

1. Dehumidifiers in damp areas
2. Choosing low-VOC products
3. Invest in HEPA air purifiers and filters. Make sure to change filters regularly, at least once every 6 months.
4. Decorate with indoor plants

Your behavior and activities inside can also have a major impact on your indoor air quality. Here’s some easy habits that you can maintain to prevent indoor air pollution:

1. Avoid smoking indoors
2. Make sure that bathrooms and kitchens are well-ventilated
3. Open windows when weather permits
4. Take off shoes indoors

These recommendations are a great place to start to improve your indoor air quality without taking extreme measures. There are many indoor air purifiers that you can also connect to your phone to measure your indoor air so that you can know exactly how your actions are making a difference.
