- Regular ventilation
Frequent ventilation is essential for maintaining good health. Without regular ventilation, indoor air can become contaminated with organic compounds. In particular, carbon dioxide produced by humans and harmful substances generated during cooking can deteriorate indoor air quality. Additionally, inadequate ventilation can create an indoor environment where various viruses can easily spread, leading to respiratory diseases. For individuals sensitive to allergies, symptoms such as coughing may worsen.
It is especially important to ventilate the kitchen. When cooking, open the kitchen hood or window to ventilate. Clean the kitchen hood regularly, and periodically remove, wash, and dry the filter before using it again.
2. Maintain appropriate humidity
Humidity plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable environment. High or low indoor humidity can negatively impact your health and cause discomfort. It is generally recommended to maintain indoor humidity around 50%. During the rainy season, when humidity is excessively high, a dehumidifier should be used to lower the humidity. Additionally, dying clothes indoors during the rainy season can further increase humidity. In this case, using a clothes dryer or running a dehumidifier can help dry the clothes quickly.
Conversely, in winter, low humidity can dry out the respiratory system, making it easier to catch colds or rhinitis. Maintaining appropriate humidity levels by operating a humidifier is essential for health management.
3. Clean your house often
Since dust always tends to accumulate indoors, it is a good idea to clean dust from surfaces such as furniture, fixtures, and decorations. Even if it is not visible to the eye, fine dust can accumulate and impair air quality. Sofas and carpets should be cleaned regularly using a vacuum cleaner. Bedding should be dusted frequently, and the floor should be cleaned regularly to remove hair and various foreign substances accumulated on the floor or wiped with a mop. Additionally, dust and stains accumulated on the windows should be wiped off with a cloth soaked in detergent. Dust accumulates on curtains and blinds, so they need to be cleaned. Curtains should be kept clean by washing or vacuuming them as needed. Toilets and bathrooms must be cleaned thoroughly using detergent and a brush.
When cleaning your home, using the eco-friendly detergent SunBrightยฎ SuperCleanโข Household, you can finish the cleaning pleasantly with a refreshing scent and be free from the unpleasant odor of regular detergents.
4. Enhance your home with aromas, music, and lighting
A clean environment and a subtle scent wafting through the house can create a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Using a diffuser with your favorite natural aroma can fill the entire house with a pleasant fragrance.
In particular, if you put SunBreezeยฎ oil in a diffuser and leave it at home, the scent of the oil will spread into the air, promoting relaxation and improve your mood.
Additionally, gently playing your favorite music can uplift your spirits and provide a healing effect. Soft lighting in the evening can also help to create a cozy and soothing ambience, further enhancing the atmosphere of your home.
5. Organize and decorate your home
If your home is not tidy, your mind can easily become disorganized. Always organize closets and blankets by season to make them easy to use, and organize bookshelves by type so you can easily find the books you want. Additionally, changing the atmosphere of your home by incorporating natural elements is also a good idea. You can create a harmonious atmosphere by placing plants or choosing furniture and accessories made of natural materials, such as wood. Nature can provide peace and stability, so itโs best to make the most of it.
A clean home environment and pleasant atmosphere greatly impact our health and wellness. Incorporating these small changes at home can lead to greater well-being and happiness.
