Clean air means a clear mind! Did you know that clean air in your home is important for your overall health and wellbeing?
Especially nowadays. We sanitize our hands, wear face masks but often we forget that fresh air in our homes is equally important. Start with regularly purifying the air at home. It can relieve stress and creates a sense of peace. Green and simple tips to optimize air quality indoors.
Tip 1
OPEN YOUR WINDOWS
regularly
Especially during winter time or at chilly days, we keep windows more closed or shut. When it’s warm inside, moisture builds up, triggering the growth of bacteria and viruses. Keep the airflow going by opening the windows for at least 20 minutes a day. The fresh air will keep you active, focused, and productive during the day and will make you sleep well at night.
Tip 2
ADD PURIFYING PLANTS
to every room
Other than their decorative purpose, plants are very important for our overall health and wellbeing. They produce oxygen, optimize humidity indoors and purify the air. Plants with the best purification capacity are the Monstera, Dracaena, Clusia, Spathiphyllum, Calathea, and of course the Ferns and Palms.
Tip 3
USE NATURAL BASKETS
to store our plants
Get rid of plastic plant baskets an choose for big organic baskets made from seagrass, hogla, jute, and abaca. By placing a water dish in the baskets to catch the access water, you can easily skip toxic plastics. Some plants prefer to absorb the moisture itself anyways.
Tip 4
LET NATURAL LIGHT
flow
Clear your windows in order to let the light flow in. Open the curtains, blinds and remove obstructing large vases or any other artefacts from the windowsill. Even if you do not use a room that often. Light is positive energy and energy purifies.
