Improve Air Quality in Your Home

airquality

With the Fall season upon us and Winter close behind, we’ll all be spending a lot more time indoors and there are common air pollutants in your home that can lower the quality of the air that you and your family breathe. Here are some great tips to help reduce pollutants and improve the air quality in your home:

  • Routine house cleanings can help reduce dust mites, pollen, & pet dander. On dry days, especially this time of year, open the windows and air out the house. This will help reduce the concentration of pollutants in the air.
  • Prevent moisture from collecting in the kitchen, laundry room & bathroom by using exhaust fans. Keep your stove & oven properly ventilated by making sure that vents are not obstructed. Also remember to change you Air Conditioner’s Air Filter on a regular basis. This also helps with your energy bills by reducing the stress on your air conditioner.
  • You can also use plants to remove indoor pollutants and add oxygen to the air. Many plants, such as palms, ferns, peace lilies, spider plants, rubber plants, chrysanthemums, ivy, and dracaena are natural air purifiers and they’ll also add color & depth to any room you put them in.
  • Avoid mixing household cleaners, as they may be harmful if inhaled. Also, consider using non-toxic, natural products, such as baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar, and borax to clean, to avoid harmful fumes in the air.
  • Send all smokers outdoors and try to limit the use of wax candles, incense, and other products that produce soot. Gel candles are a great way to do this, as they do not produce soot and they also burn longer, stronger, and cleaner than wax candles. Just be sure that the container you buy the gel candle in is, in fact, heat safe and keep the gel candle away from pets & children, as they also burn hotter than a regular wax candle.
  • Choose Water-Based paints for your interior, which have low VOC (the same chemical found in gasoline and nail polish).

Have any ideas of your own to add? I’d love to hear them.

Home Ownership Matters

Posted in Buyers, Commercial Real Estate, Copperas Cove, First Time Home Buyers, Fort Hood, Home Buying Advice, Home For Sale, Killeen, Real Estate, Realtor, TX, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 12, 2013 by Bonnie Piontek-Herrings

Home Ownership matters, to people, to communities, and to America. Why?

Century21Photo7_800

Home ownership has a significant impact on net worth, educational achievement, civic participation, health, and overall quality of life. And, home ownership helps create jobs—lots of them—right here at home.

  • For every two homes sold, one job is created in the U.S.
  • Each purchase generates as much as $60,000 in  economic activity over time.

Some who care about creating jobs also argue that home ownership may be overrated, and that we might be better off as a nation of renters.

If that’s of concern to you, follow the debate about federal government incentives to home ownership—the outcome of which will determine whether the average American can still get an affordable mortgage and whether home owners can continue to deduct their mortgage interest as a benefit of home ownership.
