How to improve indoor air quality in your home mop the floors as well, as even the most effective vacuums leave potentially harmful dust particles behind. A once-over with a mop and some hot water can remove any lingering dust left behind by the vacuum.

• Place a floor mat near every entrance. Winter is a messy season, and it’s easy to bring in the great outdoors when you enter your home during cold weather seasons. Dirt that sticks to your shoes may contain potentially harmful chemicals, so place a floor mat near any door where people routinely enter your home and politely ask that all who enter wipe off and remove their shoes before moving about the house.

Routinely vacuuming floors can improve indoor air quality in a home by preventing the buildup of dust mites and other harmful allergens.

With winter on the horizon, homeowners who live in locales with harsh winters are preparing their homes for a season spent largely indoors. Unlike the other seasons of the year, when homeowners can comfortably air out their homes by opening windows, winter offers no such opportunities to let nature improve indoor air quality.

Such a reality can make a home uncomfortable as winter drags on.

But that discomfort pales in comparison to the health risks presented by poor indoor air quality. Radon, volatile chemicals from fragrances used in conventional cleaners and lead from house dust are just a few of the many sources of indoor air pollution commonly found in homes, and these pollutants can be especially harmful in winter, when many people spend more time indoors thanks to harsh weather.

But while you might not be able to change the weather so you can open windows in the wintertime, you can take steps to improve indoor air quality in your home.

• Clean the floors regularly. Dirty floors take their toll on a home’s indoor air quality. Dust that’s allowed to settle on floors may contain harmful chemicals and allergens that can lead to respiratory problems and additional uncomfortable health conditions. Clean your floors at least once per week during the winter months, ideally with a vacuum that’s equipped with a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is important because it can prevent dust and dirt from being blown back out of the vacuum in the exhaust. After you have vacuumed,

• Dehumidify your home. Mold and dust mites thrive on moisture, so homeowners concerned about the moisture in their homes during the winter months can purchase a dehumidifier to control allergens and reduce moisture in the air. In addition to using a dehumidifier, you can control humidity in your home by using an exhaust fan when cooking, addressing leaky plumbing fixtures to prevent mold growth and making sure your clothes dryer is vented to the outside of your home.

• Choose naturally scented laundry products. Everyone wants their freshly cleaned clothes to smell good, but the price you pay when using laundry products that employ synthetic fragrances may be far more steep than you realize. Such synthetic fragrances emit dozens of chemicals into the air, so choose naturally scented detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets when possible.

• Avoid plug-in air fresheners. Unless otherwise noted on the packaging, plug-in air fresheners likely contain volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which contain a variety of chemicals that can negatively impact both short- and long-term health.

Instead of plugging in an air freshener to improve a home’s interior aroma, slice fresh lemons and leave them out in the kitchen and keep fresh indoor plants in living areas.

Studies from NASA have shown that indoor plants naturally purify indoor air by absorbing materials released by synthetic materials.

As winter gets set to return, homeowners can employ several simple strategies to improve indoor air quality in their homes.

HOME-BUILDING INNOVATION:

Ask your builder about disaster-resilient construction Today, given the frequency of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, and floods, it’s a “must” to build the most durable homes possible.

Wood-framed walls, for example, are not always reliable, whereas walls constructed with reinforced concrete have proven to withstand some of Mother Nature’s worst performances.

“Building with concrete, or more specifically with preassembled, insulated concrete forms known as ICFs, has been protecting houses from various disasters for more than a decade now,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in this field. It also delivers superior energy efficiency to lower heating and cooling costs substantially.”

Once built, a concrete home withstands high winds, fire

COWICHAN BAY RANCHER & WORKSHOP MLS® 388715

and flash floods, but it also withstands the test of time, says Blyth.

“These rock solid walls deliver impact-resistance from wind as high as 402 kilometers per hour. This comes from a steel reinforced core, ranging from 10 to 28 centimeters of concrete to stand between you and the elements.

“The superior insulation property of concrete is giving homeowners up to 70 percent savings on monthly energy bills,” he continues. “The rock solid core vastly reduces air infiltration, delivering efficiency ratings as high as R-50 due to the thermal mass of the concrete, compared to an average R-20 in wood structures. You can also add optional inserts to the ICF forms to improve this efficiency even more.”

Concrete is responsible This building system is based on sustainable and recycled materials, reducing the need for trees. In addition, the construction process creates less waste than traditional methods and the occupants use fewer fossil fuels for a much smaller carbon footprint.

But even with this commitment to responsibility, there is no trade-off on any of the beauty aspects and aesthetics, says Blyth.

“Your home can have all of the creative architectural shapes, like arches and bay windows, and high ceilings can be achieved,” says Blyth. “Outdoors, the home can be finished with attractive brick, or with stone, stucco, wood, or vinyl siding.”
