Easy Ways to Make Your Home Healthier

  1. Take off your shoes – Reduce the amount of dust, pollen and pesticides in your home by adopting a “no shoes” policy in your home.
  2. Switch to all natural household cleaners – from dish soap to floor polish there is a vast selection of non-toxic cleansing products available for your home and clothing
  3. Redecorate with low or no-VOC paints – Water based paints and stains come in an array of colors and are non-toxic
  4. Upgrade your HVAC filters – High performance and HEPA rated filters are available for return vents. This helps reduce indoor pollutants by filtering dust, pollen and other undesirables from the air.
  5. Avoid plastics – By banning vinyl and other PVCs, you will keep dioxins out of the air and plastics out of the landfill. It will also reduce your family’s exposure to the toxic substances in plastic.
