6 DIY Tips to Improve Air Quality at Home

A proactive approach to improving air quality at home can make a big difference. Here are some effective DIY indoor air quality tips:

1. Ventilate Regularly: One of the easiest ways to improve air quality at home is to open your windows and doors. 
   A few minutes daily can help circulate fresh air and remove stale, pollutant-laden indoor air. This is especially important when cooking, cleaning, or after painting. 
   
   
   
2. Mind Your Cleaning Products: Many common household cleaners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can degrade your indoor air quality. 
   Consider switching to natural cleaning alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. If you must use stronger cleaners, make sure the area is well-ventilated.
   
   
   
3. Control Humidity Levels: High humidity can lead to mold and mildew growth, which release spores into the air and negatively impacts indoor air quality. Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens. 
   A dehumidifier can be helpful in naturally damp areas of your home, like basements. Aim for humidity levels between 30% and 50%.
   
   
   
4. Clean Regularly (and Smartly): Dust and vacuum often to reduce the buildup of allergens, pet dander, and dust mites. 
   Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to prevent these particles from being recirculated into the air. Damp dusting helps trap particles rather than scattering them.
   
   
   
5. Care for Your HVAC Filters: Your home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is your first line of defense for whole-house air quality. 
   Change your HVAC filters regularly, typically every 1-3 months, depending on filter type and usage. 
   
   
   
6. Introduce Houseplants: Certain houseplants are known for filtering common indoor air pollutants. 
   Spider plants, peace lilies, and snake plants are just a few examples of plants that can naturally improve air quality at home.
