How to achieve a healthy, pleasant atmosphere in the home

Avoid smoking in the house, close the windows when there is a lot of traffic in the street, and use sprays, paints, and insecticides only in well-ventilated places to keep the home environment from being contaminated with harmful substances. But, in addition to the external agents, we must also be careful of certain everyday habits that will affect air quality. Hanging clothes to dry in the house, showering with hot water, and cooking are routines that also promote poorer air quality. In this way we cause humidity that, if not controlled, can have unpleasant consequences.

Ventilate

Ventilation is essential. It is very important for renewing the air in the house and for reducing levels of moisture. You just have to ventilate all the rooms in the home every morning for 10 minutes (if you create little air currents, better).

Control the moisture and temperature

Excess moisture in the house will cause condensation problems on windows and walls, promote mildew and favor the proliferation of mites. Mildew fungus and mites are the main triggers of many allergies and can aggravate the situation of people with respiratory problems. By reducing the level of moisture we will prevent these problems and achieve a much healthier atmosphere.

To ensure comfort, it is essential to combine this control of humidity (between 40% and 60%) with temperatures between 16 and 23 ºC. This will keep the atmosphere from becoming too dry or too humid. Temperatures of 19-20 ºC and 50% humidity create a perfect ecosystem for keeping the home atmosphere in optimal condition.

Don’t forget other fundamental factors for “maintaining the good atmosphere” at home: Wash towels every week, change sheets and pillowcases every 15 days, dust, and check the condition of window insulation.
