The March 2004 Home magazine (from
the UK) has an article called "Create a Healthier Home". It says
double-glazed windows, central heat and carpet are the root of allergies. It
talks about lowering humidity by: opening windows after taking a bath, shower
or while cooking and adding a de-humidifier.
Use Fewer Chemicals: use 1/2 cup
white vinegar to rinse to brighten whites, use 2 T vinegar in warm water to
clean windows, mirrors and glass. Buff with clean dry cloth.
Paint: looks for paints that are
solvent free or VOC free. Ecos organic paints are solvent free and contain no
VOCs. www.ecopaints.com
Dustmites are disgusting little
creatures and their droppings can double the weight of a pillow in 6 months.
They rise into the air when we sit on a bed or sofa and can remain there for 30
minutes. To reduce the number of dustmites: wash bedding once a week
in 60 degree C water, use dustmite-proof covers on mattresses and pillows,
vacuum carpets regularly OR replace with linoleum or wood flooring, use blinds
(preferably vertical) rather than curtains, air your home and bedding every
day. Open windows when cleaning.
Air: invest in air-purifying machine
(not ozone), paint with purifying paint, vacuum regularly and use HEPA filter
vacuums.
(No vinyl wallpaper as mold may grow
behind it.)
