Improving Air Quality at Home: Tips for Healthy Indoor Air

Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, while we spend 90% of our time indoors. By simple adjustments in your daily routine, you create a healthier living environment for the whole family.

Daily Ventilation for Fresh Air

Opening windows for 10-15 minutes a day effectively removes polluted air and brings in fresh oxygen. This simple habit ensures natural air exchange without wasting energy. Especially early in the morning, outdoor air contains the fewest pollutants.

Keeping Humidity Under Control

The ideal humidity level is between 40-60%. High humidity above 70% creates perfect conditions for mold and house dust mites. Monitor moisture levels with a hygrometer and use a dehumidifier in damp rooms such as bathrooms if needed. For optimal humidity management, various smart solutions are available.

Plants as Natural Air Purifiers

Houseplants such as spathiphyllum and sansevieria filter harmful substances from the air. These green helpers effectively remove formaldehyde, benzene, and other chemicals. Three to four plants per average-sized room already make a noticeable difference.

Regular Cleaning Reduces Pollution

Vacuuming at least twice a week significantly reduces allergens and fine dust. Focus on carpets, curtains, and upholstery where dust particles accumulate. Use vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters for optimal dust removal. Modern robot vacuum cleaners make this process even easier by cleaning automatically.

Limiting Chemical Products

Perfumes, cleaning agents, and spray paint cause five times more pollution indoors than outdoor air. Choose natural alternatives such as vinegar and lemon juice for cleaning. Ventilate well when using chemical products.

Air Purifiers for Extra Cleaning

An air purifier for small rooms with a HEPA filter removes 99.99% of particles and is ideal for bedrooms. For larger rooms, a powerful air purifier up to 45m² offers automatic control with an integrated dust sensor. The versatile air purifier for 25m² combines HEPA filter, ionizer, and smart sensors for optimal air quality monitoring.
