Have you thought about opening a window once in a while to let in the fresh air? If not, you're missing out on relishing the rewarding benefits that better air quality has on your health and home. To make your air quality better, you need to read these suggestions on how to improve overall air quality in a tight space.
Use a Purifier
Sometimes, the most straightforward fix to dirty air is through a fan or air purifier. The air purifier, like a vent, can trap unwanted odor particles in the air and place them through a filter.
Also, an air purifier helps improve the environment for those who suffer from allergies. So make the most of your journey toward better, breathable air with an air purifier.
Keep Smokers Outside
Many people with breathing problems already have to separate themselves from others who smoke. Smoking can leave stains on walls, causing the smell to linger in rooms. If you have difficulty cleaning your home's air of allergens, like smoke particles, open windows and use an HVAC system.
Also, if you have a balcony or a backyard, consider having anyone that smokes sit outside, so no one has to leave the room due to the foul smell of cigarettes, cigars, or other smoking items.
Install a Range Hood
The kitchen's the main point of interest for many, and this is where the most treasured memories reside. However, even those happy memories become clouded by unwanted smells from cooking.
As your kitchen becomes heavy from moisture buildup and lingering smells, you risk no one wanting to stand and talk while you cook. So to combat the odors, install a range hood and learn the best ways to maintain the hood.
Open Your Windows
Opening a window or two is another simple fix that helps purify the air. Even as smells travel outside, the cool air entering your home can spread the smells.
While opening windows in the kitchen, open a few more around the house; that way, the fumes have an easier time exiting your home as they travel.
Cleaning the air in the kitchen and the rest of the home might be hard for some people, but these ways to improve overall air quality in a tight space can help. Even when you move from one tiny place to another, having these tips in mind can make living in your next home better.
