When we talk about air pollution, especially the haze in Malaysia, we know that we can tackle the situation by wearing N95 mask or staying indoor to avoid the polluted air. But, what about indoor air pollution?
Indoor air pollution is actually very common, especially in homes or offices with old air conditioner. Many of us thought that we will be breathing in clean air once we are indoor. But do think twice, as poor air quality at home could lead to breathing problems and serious health problems especially among children and old people.
In order to improve indoor air quality, first we need to identify the things that may pollute your home.
- Excess moisture
- Non-organic household cleaning products
- Carbon monoxide from improperly installed gas stove
- Dust & pet fur
- Pesticides & possible outdoor air pollutants that seeps in through windows opening
And here’s 3 ways to improve the indoor air quality:
1. Change / clean your AC air filters every 1-3 months
Cleaning the air filter is an easy step to prolong the life of your air conditioner, as the unit will not have to work harder than it should be with a clean filter. If you or any of your family member have allergies or asthma, or you have pets at home, it is best to perform this task every 30 days.
2. Vacuum AC vents
Apart from cleaning the air filter, its also important to clean the vents frequently by vacuuming off the dust and debris which is accumulated on the surface of the vents. You may want to perform this simple task weekly to prolong the life of your air filters.
3. Clean the AC ducts
Although with a clean filter, there are also a possible built-up of dust, debris, pesticides & mold in the air conditioner’s air ducts. Getting your AC ducts professionally cleaned will make a big impact in improving your indoor air quality.
