4 Super-Easy Inexpensive or Free Indoor Air Quality Hacks!

Just about everyone wants to breathe cleaner air once they realize their indoor air is causing them issues. Of course, the best thing to do for immediate indoor air quality improvement is to buy an air cleaner with HEPA and carbon filters to remove the airborne pollutants.

Ok, great. But what can I do that doesn't cost me a lot or might be free? Good question!  We've got four excellent steps you can take to clean up your indoor air with little to no expense!

1)   Open Your Windows    Cost:  $0

Unless you live in a heavily polluted city, in most cases, opening a window for part of the day will do several things for you: it will add oxygen to your home, bring in just a little bit of ozone, which kills bacteria and viruses, and it will let some of the polluted air in your home get out--which has been proven to be 5-10x more polluted than outdoor air because of insulation and because most air conditioners don't bring in fresh air through the system.  Worried about dust and pollen coming in?  Open your windows early when the dew is still on the ground--this allows air to come in while pollen, etc. is still too wet and can't blow around very well.

2)   Vacuum Your Appliances   Cost: $0

Any appliance that has a fan of any kind, it's very likely to be blowing dust around. This includes hair dryers, ceiling fan blades, computers, TV's, the back of refrigerators, etc.  Just cleaning these areas can immediately help improve air quality.

3)    Make Your Own DIY (Do It Yourself) Air Purifier   Cost: $10-15 if you have a box fan, $30-40 if you don't.

Yep, you can do this too, and for very little money.  Just take your normal box fan and duct tape a medium rated air conditioner filter to the back of it (so that airflow will still be good).  This can go a long way toward removing dust mites, hair, dander, even some odors from your home, if the filter has carbon in it.

4)    Move Unused Paint Cans, Solvents, and Cleaners Outside    Cost: $0

Yes, really. Gather up all that type of stuff you don't regularly use, put it in a trash bag, seal it up and put it outside, preferably in a shed or at least in a garage, not in your basement, closet, under the sink, etc.  This stuff all off-gases and adds chemicals to your everyday air, chemicals that cause health issues over time.
