1. Improve Ventilation Daily
Open windows for 20–30 minutes to allow fresh air in and push stale, polluted air out. Cross-ventilation is the simplest way to reduce indoor pollution naturally.
2. Add Indoor Plants
Plants like snake plant, peace lily, aloe vera, and areca palm absorb toxins and improve oxygen levels. They act as natural air purifiers inside your home.
3. Keep Dust Levels Low
Dust carries allergens, chemicals, and pollutants. Wipe surfaces regularly and vacuum carpets or sofas to keep indoor air cleaner.
4. Avoid Chemical-Heavy Cleaners
Many cleaning sprays release harmful fumes (VOCs) into the air. Choose natural cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, or mild herbal liquids.
5. Maintain Proper Humidity
Too much moisture encourages mold, which pollutes the air. Keep indoor humidity between 40–60% to prevent fungal growth.
6. Reduce Smoke and Strong Fumes
Avoid incense sticks, scented candles, and indoor smoking, as they release harmful particles. Even overusing room fresheners can worsen indoor air quality.
7. Keep Shoes Outside
Shoes bring dust, germs, and pollutants from outside into your home. A simple “no shoes inside” rule significantly reduces indoor contamination.
