Improve your Home Air quality

  • Open up your windows - get some FRESH air into your home.  Best of all this is FREE.
  • Don't use chemical air fresheners - if you really want to remove odors stay tuned for our next entry with some wonderful home-made safe solutions.
  • Don't use paraffin wax candles or gel candles.  Look for soy based candles instead as the others contain petroleum derivatives or artificial (poisonous) chemicals hidden in the word fragrance.
  • Use NON-Toxic home cleaners
  • Get rid of your carpets (carpets are one of the biggest air-quality culprits in your home, they are treated with chemicas which let off gas, carpets act as traps for dirt, allergens, mold, toxic poisons from inside and outside your home).
  • Consider room air purifiers for your home
  • Remove vinyls from your home (eg: your vinyl shower curtain is probably releasing toxic gases) as PVC has been found to discharge chemicals called phthalates which cause respiratory problems.
  • Install a carbon monoxide detector near all sleeping areas of your home.
  • Test for Radon - radon is an invisible and lethal killer, and is the second leading cause of lung-cancer.
