Happy Healthy New Year From Hayward Score
2019 New Year healthy home tips from the Hayward Score team.
- When outdoor air is clean, let it in and refresh the air in your home to release all the pollutants and moisture trapped inside.
- Fragrances in cleaning products, scented candles, and laundry detergents are a huge source of indoor chemical pollutants. Stick to fragrance-free products.
- Buying an indoor air monitor can help get a better handle of poor indoor air quality in your home.
- Don’t wear shoes inside the house. In addition to dust and dirt, shoes drag in pollutants such as mold, pollen, heavy metals, and chemicals into your home.
- The impact of dust on health and well-being is enormous. Be sure to regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum, dust with a microfiber cloth, and periodically wipe down walls & ceilings.
- Change your air filter 3-4x a year. Dirty air filters not only release hazardous particles back in your home but also reduce energy efficiency.
- Run the range hood fan every time you use the stove to void pollutants caused by cooking.
- Keep your stuffed animals clean by either putting them in the freezer for 24 hours or use a gente wash cycle and dry on low heat.
