How to Purify the Air in the House

Brace yourselves for the findings of the latest studies on the quality of air within homes – researchers show that indoor air is actually 2 to 5 times more toxic than that found outdoors! Research also shows that about 3.3 million deaths annually can actually be attributed to pollution. This should get you thinking about the pollutants your daily activities introduce into your home environment – and hopefully give you a better idea on how to improve your indoor air.


Indoor air can contain irritants like dust mites, mold, pet dander, gas fumes, chemicals from cleaning agents and aerosols. Aside from causing various skin conditions, they can also aggravate asthma, cause irritation of the eyes and sometimes even lead to cancers. This makes it imperative that you find ways to improve ventilation in your homes and purify the air. Here are some tips:

Increase ventilation
Bringing in fresh air will dilute the level of pollutants indoors. You could go for exhaust fans to get rid of polluted air and high moisture content. Opening windows and doors regularly also helps. Creating natural vent slits in the walls keeps the air circulating even while you’re away.

Use your Air-conditioning
Even if the weather is just fine, you should run your ACs once in a while as the new-gen ACs purify the air before re-circulating it back.

Eliminate pollutants
The best way to reduce pollution is by getting rid of the source. This would include vacuuming your carpets frequently to get rid of synthetic fibers and dust and dust mites, telling smokers to light up outside, avoiding synthetic air fresheners and chemical-laden household cleaners; maintaining humidity between 30-50% indoors also helps. Brush your pets regularly outside the home to reduce irritating pet fur and dander.

Shoes
Keep outdoor shoes outdoors! They are laden with all kinds of impurities including germs, spores, pollens, industrial toxins and sometimes even excreta!

Guidelines to Consider Before Purchasing a New Property

There comes a time in every renter’s life when they get fed-up of doling out money at the end of every month and tolerating the unreasonable ‘do’s and don’ts’ from the landlord. That the wake-up call when you realize there are other options out there as well that are pretty lucrative in the long run too. Many renters don’t realize that the money they put down each month can be used as EMI payments instead, towards a home that they would end up owning at the end of the day; this is against spending the same amount each month, lining somebody else’s pockets and still having no permanent of their own. It’s pretty obvious which option you would go for! And once you have decided to buy a property of your own, you first need to go shopping for a home loan; different banks offer different interest rates, so look for the one that offers the lowest interest rates and check how much loan you are eligible for.
