Your furniture matters<\/h2>\n
Many pieces of furniture are manufactured using adhesives that continue to release toxins into the atmosphere long after they have left the factory.<\/p>\n
This slow release of toxins can contribute significantly to poor air quality.<\/p>\n
Choose your furniture carefully to avoid this slow poisoning. Inquire about the production methods used to manufacture the pieces you have selected.<\/p>\n
Try to avoid furniture made of particleboard.<\/p>\n
Using eco-friendly cleaning products<\/h2>\n
A clean home is less likely to harbor dust and other particles that can degrade air quality and trigger allergies. However, cleaning with the right products is essential.<\/p>\n
Whenever possible, use entirely natural cleaning products such as lemon and vinegar, which leave no toxic footprint.<\/p>\n
Industrial cleaners can leave behind residues that affect air quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Poor air quality in your home can significantly impact both your health and your mood. This decline in air quality can be caused by several factors, such as outdoor pollution, low-quality construction materials, and emissions from heating systems and household appliances. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to asthma, fatigue, and respiratory diseases. We have compiled a list of tips to ensure better breathing within your home.<\/p>\n
Ventilation
\nAir circulation is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. Circulating air through your home will eliminate stagnant air and refresh the indoor environment. One option is to simply open your doors and windows to renew the indoor air. Of course, if you live in a crowded city, the outdoor air can be very unpleasant and potentially toxic. In such cases, choosing the right time of the day\u2014early morning or late at night when traffic levels are at their lowest\u2014is best.<\/p>\n
Keep your air conditioner pristine
\nAir conditioners can truly help improve your home’s air quality by dehumidifying the air and refreshing stale air (see: how to choose your air conditioner?). Almost all air conditioners contain a type of filter that cleans the air and removes impurities and pollen. As with all the filters in your home, it is essential to clean them regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.<\/p>\n
Keep your linens and clothing clean
\nDust mites are one of the primary causes of poor air quality. They can irritate your nose and throat, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic. Dust mites often linger in household fabrics, such as bedding, pillows, and curtains. It is important to regularly wash these items using a low-allergen detergent. If you have pets, ensure they stay off your bed and sofas to minimize hair accumulation.<\/p>\n
Beeswax candles are perfect air purifiers
\nBeeswax candles possess air-purifying qualities because they burn and release negative ions. Pollen, dust, dirt, pollutants, and other airborne debris carry a positive charge; therefore, when a beeswax candle burns, the negative ions released into the air attract these positively charged particles, causing them to be drawn into the candle or fall out of suspension. This negative ion charge is how many air purifiers function. Beeswax candles are 100% natural and not only reduce contaminants in your home but also smell wonderful and create a lovely ambiance.<\/p>\n
Salt lamps can help with asthma
\nIf burning candles is not your preference, you can achieve the same effect with a salt lamp (learn more). These lamps, created by placing a light source inside a large mass of Himalayan salt, emit negative ions when turned on. These negative ions help combat the positively charged particles and contaminants that trigger allergies. Asthma sufferers have reported that salt lamps helped reduce their symptoms.<\/p>\n
Activated charcoal reduces atmospheric contaminants
\nActivated charcoal has been used for decades as a safe method of air purification. It was used inside gas masks during World War I, and forms of activated charcoal are now present in many types of filters, from air recycling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[236],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1817996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1817996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1817996"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1817996\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1818001,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1817996\/revisions\/1818001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1817996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1817996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newzyexecutive.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1817996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
