We spend a lot of time thinking about the air outside, but what about the air inside our homes? Believe it or not, the air in your house can sometimes be more polluted than the air outdoors.
Dust, pet hair, cleaning products, cooking fumes, and excess humidity can all affect the air we breathe. And here in Florida, where our air conditioners work overtime, keeping indoor air fresh is especially important.
Here are a few simple things you can do:
- Change your AC filter regularly. A dirty filter makes it harder for your system to move air and capture airborne particles. Check it monthly and follow the manufacturer's replacement recommendations.
- Keep humidity under control. Florida's humidity can encourage mold and dust mites. Aim for indoor humidity around 30–50%, if practical.
- Use your bathroom exhaust fans. Especially after showers. They help remove moisture before it settles into walls and ceilings.
- Be mindful of cleaning products. Some sprays and strong fragrances can affect indoor air quality. Ventilate when using them.
- Keep dust under control. Regular vacuuming and dusting can make a difference, especially if you have pets.
A healthier home starts with the air you breathe every day.
