Fresh air can become a luxury during the winter when many homeowners shut and seal their windows. The result can be poor air quality that can harm your health. The accumulation of dust and lack of moisture during the winter can cause dry skin, eyes, and nasal passages. You’ll need to schedule regular carpet cleaning appointments and use air purifiers to ensure that your air is clean. Here’s a quick guide to improving your home’s air quality in the winter.

How to Improve Your Home’s Air Quality in the Winter

1. Ventilation Systems

If you have ventilation systems in your bathrooms, use them often to help eliminate moist air, which can foster mold and mildew. Additionally, on warmer winter days, open some windows. There’s no replacement for fresh air. 

2. Air Purifiers

Install a high-quality air purifier that uses HEPA filters to clean your home’s air. Air purifiers can filter out chemical and biological pollutants, such as pollen, bacteria, formaldehyde, and lead. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for replacing your air purifier’s filters to ensure that it remains effective.

3. Carpet Cleanings

Carpets tend to trap dirt, allergens, mites, and even strong odors, which can affect your air quality, so it’s important to have them cleaned regularly. If you have a large family, your home will likely have a lot of foot traffic, so you should schedule cleanings every two months. If you are single, you should have your carpets cleaned every few months.
