Simple Ways to a Healthier Home
Here are some simple changes you can make around the house that will make your home a more environmentally friendly environment. These changes can help you have a healthier, greener home.
1. Use non-toxic cleaning supplies. Ecofriendly cleaners can now easily be found at major retailers. The effectiveness has improved and the prices have become more competetive.
2. Get more plants around your house. They will act as a natural filter for your air by absorbing bad gases and by giving back oxygen.
3. Microwave your sponges after use. Place your used, wet sponge in the microwave and blast it on high for about a minute. This will radiate all the bacteria away and make the sponge germ-free for the next usage.
4. Dust and clean your air vents throughout the house. This will prevent the dust that collects on vents from recirculating when your air runs.
5. Buy nylon shower curtanis instead of vinyl. Vinyl shower curtains release chemical odors and gases into your house almost the second they are taken out of their packaging. They can continue to release these gases for years. The nylon shower curtains do not need a liner and are easy to clean. Throw them into the washing machine. Good as new!
