How to Maintain Healthy Indoor Air

Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by Admin in Indoor Air Quality, Purified Living

Simple steps to a healthy home:

- Fresh air is one of the top natural cleaners around. Best part about it is it’s free of chemicals, and costs nothing to use; just open the windows!

- If your furnace’s blower is not cleaned regularly, it can become a breeding ground for dirt, dust mites and toxic molds.

- Your air conditioner drip pan can potentially hold standing water and grow mold, which would then be blown directly into your air ducts and out through the vents of the entire house.

- Condenser coils can rust and contain build-up of corrosion, which is not only harmful to the air quality but also decreases the efficiency of your HVAC system and increases energy costs.

- Avoiding the use of conventional cleaning products isn’t always possible. Remember: keep your house well ventilated when using them, and help preserve your indoor air quality by storing harmful chemicals and volatile compounds (such as paints, solvents, cleaners and pesticides) away from occupied spaces and air ventilation intakes.
