Air out your home for 10-30 minutes a day for more energy, fresh smells, and healthier air!
Air out your home to invite in natural scents, such as fresh rain, budding flowers, juniper, and, if you live near the ocean, crisp saltwater air.
1. Reduces Indoor Air Pollution The air you breathe inside can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Common contributors to poor indoor air quality include…
Formaldehyde
Dander
Dust mites
Mold
Volatile organic compounds
The list continues, but the main thing is that exposure to these pollutants can negatively impact your health. They can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Simply opening the windows will help clear out your home of these airborne contaminants. For best results, open a window or door on each side of the house for a cleansing cross breeze. 2. Helps You Think Better Fresh air is a brain booster. It’s science! Researchers observed test scores among fifth-grade students improved dramatically with the amount of outdoor air being introduced into classrooms.
3. Banishes Odors Battening down the hatches for winter allows odors to build up. The nasty smells from trash, musty bathrooms, dirty laundry, and other funky smells have nowhere to go when your house is sealed.
