Can I fix my home’s IAQ problems on my own?
What is IAQ?
IAQ stands for Indoor Air Quality. It refers to the air quality of a property, such as a home or business, and whether it has contaminants that may affect the health of the people inside in it or not.
Wondering about your home’s IAQ?
Do you suspect that your home has IAQ problems? Have you noticed your children or elderly relatives, or those with allergies coughing when they spend time in your home? Then your IAQ may have harmful contaminants.
The good news is that there are ways to remedy this problem fully. First, there are a few steps you can take on your own to improve your home’s IAQ.
DIY solutions
One way to improve your home’s IAQ is by cleaning it regularly. Carpets and rugs absorb dust, dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants like sponges, so vacuum weekly, if not more regularly to improve the IAQ of your home. This is especially important if you have any family members who have dust allergies. Just 10 minutes of vacuuming each week can save them from being uncomfortable in your home 24/7.
Open those windows!
Anytime the temperature outside is tolerable enough for you to open the windows, do it! Getting some fresh air in your home will work wonders for its IAQ, and it keeps stale smells at bay.
Clean those air vents
Wipe all air vents in your home with a moist rag at least every six months. You’ll be amazed at how much dust and grime accumulates on the air vents in such a short period of time! Your family will breathe easier with a lot less dust messing with the IAQ of your home.
