Many things that a family does or doesn’t do can exacerbate a tendency to create poor air quality inside your Wendell, NC, home. Read on to learn how you might be making your indoor air quality (IAQ) worse.
Smoking Inside
A fire, no matter how small and controlled it is, will create particulates. Additionally, smoke will deposit tarry grime with nicotine on all the surfaces in your home. This third-hand smoke can release detrimental fumes as well.
Using Harsh Cleaners
Many cleaning products contain warnings about using them in well-ventilated areas. They also warn you about them being harmful to your health. The fumes can harm you and others in your home if you’re not careful.
Not Using Ventilation Fans
Failing to install hood fans in the kitchen and ventilation fans in the bathroom will lead to more particulates. Both cooking spatter and steam cause particulates to collect, resulting in worse indoor air quality. Investing in a whole-home ventilation system ensures your indoor air remains fresh around the clock.
Not Using Air Purifiers
Allergens and other particulates can enter your home from many sources. By not having an air purifier or two in your home, those particulates will increase. This is especially true if you have carpeting or heavy draperies in your home, both of which exacerbate particulate retention and worsen your indoor air quality. You can install a whole-home air purifier or install air purifiers in individual rooms.
