Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips. Most people tend to think of air pollution as something that only happens outside; smog, ozone, or haze hanging in the air, especially as the weather gets warmer. But the truth is, the air inside your home may be even more polluted than the air outside. So, be sure to protect yourself from allergens and pollutants and mold using these tips.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Clean Sweep
It can be easy to ignore chores, but it’s important to clean your home regularly to reduce allergens and irritants. A thorough dusting with a damp cloth instead of a feather duster; is a great way to keep your air clean. But don’t forget to suck it up, mop it up, and keep it out! Vacuuming and then mopping will get rid of any particles that are lingering on your floors. In addition,  leaving a large floor mat at every door will reduce the amount of pesticides and other pollutants; that come in via the dirt on your shoes.

Mold

Most Floridians have experience dealing with mold. Since mold loves warm, damp environments, and that pretty much sums up Florida’s weather. But don’t let your home be a mold victim because most mold is preventable. So, be sure to follow these easy steps to avoiding hazardous growths in your home.

Be Proactive

If condensation is collecting around window sills, walls or pipes, dry it quickly. Increasing ventilation and air movement in moist rooms is the best way to prevent mold growth. Because in most cases, if a damp area is dried within 48 hours of a leak or spill; mold will not grow. Turn on a fan or open a window while or immediately after; showering, cooking, and dishwashing will also help prevent mold growth.
