Poor indoor air quality can aggravate a number of conditions, including asthma and allergies. If you notice that your airways feel irritated when you are at home in Maryville, IL, that could be a sign that your indoor air quality is poor. Here are a few things you can do to improve air quality in the home.

  1. Clean HVAC Filters

HVAC systems contain air filters that remove dirt, dust, debris, hair, and pollen from the air. Over time, these filters can become clogged, which means they can no longer remove pollutants from the air. Cleaning your air conditioner filter regularly can help to keep your indoor air quality high.

  1. Use an Air Purifier

Air purification is a process that involves removing impurities from the air. Air purifiers can remove much smaller particles than basic air filters. These devices are excellent for eliminating cigarette smoke and the lingering smell that it leaves behind. Some air purifiers can also remove mold spores and dust mite feces, which can trigger allergies in some people.

  1. Use Plants for Air Purification%title% | Morrison | Plumbing Heating Air Electrical

Plants are nature’s air purifiers. Not only do they remove carbon dioxide from the air and replace it with the oxygen your body needs to live, but they also absorb many different types of pollutants that could be harmful to health. Houseplants such as bamboo palms, spider plants, and Chinese evergreens can absorb polluting chemicals such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and benzene. Their green leaves also brighten up your home, making it a more pleasant place to spend time.

  1. Keep Carpets Clean

Carpets can harbor lint, dust, pet hair, pollen, and even mold and bacteria. By vacuuming your carpets regularly, you can remove these pollutants from your home. Every so often, you may also want to have your carpets professionally cleaned, as professional cleaners have tools that allow them to give carpets a much deeper clean.

  1. Tune Up Your AC

At the beginning of summer, it is a good idea to schedule a tune-up for your air conditioning system. If your AC system is not working well, it will not be able to efficiently filter out airborne pollutants, such as summer pollen. To schedule a check-up at your home in Maryville, IL, contact Morrison Plumbing today.
