Everyone Deserves A Healthy Home

By Bill Palen


Can you remember, a long time ago, when it was feasible to feel like you were trying to keep your home clean and getting away from all of the pollution on the planet just by staying inside your house and keeping the doors and windows closed? In your house, the control over the air quality belongs to you. Or is that even possible? Sadly, there are all sorts of things that can wind up in your house and raise the likelihood of your coming down with asthma or respiratory issues. This is a little bit because properties are now constructed to be more air tight--better sealed windows, doors, etc have been created in an attempt to keep cooling and warming prices under control. Sadly, those electricity savings are raising the pollutants in the air of our home. Here are a number of the steps you can take to keep the air in your house as healthy as you can.

Take your shoes off outside, if possible. If not, kick them off in the front entrance to your home. As you wander around outside-even in areas like malls and hospitals, your footwear pick up things.

The bottoms of your shoes and boots are covered in mold microorganisms, a variety of chemicals, dust, dirt and even bacteria. When you walk into your own home with your footwear on, you bring in this stuff and it gets into the floors and carpets. It then becomes kicked up when there may be action. This ensures that besides staying in the flooring, you kick it up into the air that you breathe in. If you take off your shoes and boots outside the house or inside the entry way of your home, you lower this risk by leaps and bounds.

Don't get your dry cleaning right away. Permit the cleaner keep it for a day or two. Dry cleaned apparel is dredged in chemicals that are horrible for you.

Some of them happen to be linked to cancer and also neurological damage. You want to be sure that your clothes are entirely dry so that you can bring them home. When you do not let the clothes get all the way dry, those substances are sent to your skin and you could even breathe in a few of them. You may also look for a dry cleaner that has specialized in eco-friendly cleaning practices.

Keep your property ventilated! Sure you had these double paned windows put in to keep the air in your home at your ideal temperature. But whenever you leave those windows closed all day and night, you're boosting your risk of breathing in the stuff you kick up as you walk around. The dust mites that get kicked up when you dust and vacuum can't break free. The smoke and fumes that imbue your house when you cook on the stove or with your oven don't ever dissipate. Your shower's steam can seep into your walls which can cause mold to form which you then breathe in and get sick from. Keep your fans switched on. Open up the windows. Give the kicked up stuff a chance to escape. You may also notice that a lot of these suggestions have been known to teach men and women how to stop snoring and feel better.

You could make your house healthier using a lot of different methods. Remember, coming home into a clean house will not mean that the literal problems of the world get shut out. Take some measures to make your house a pollution free zone.
