How can I improve indoor air quality at home?

1. Assess your ventilation situation.
• To prevent mould from growing in places where it can’t easily escape (like bathrooms, kitchens and laundries) you can open a window or vent to improve ventilation.
2. Don’t let water hang around.
• Keep bathroom exhaust fans running while you’re showing and for 30 minutes after also.
3. Use mould-fighting products.
• Use mould resisting products or waterproofing paints for problem spots around the house.
4. Indoor plants
• Having indoor plants around the home can help improve air quality by filtering pollutants.
5. Keep an eye on indoor plants.
• Don’t let excess water stagnate in drip trays when you water. A good tip is to add a dash of natural antifungal substance that can hinder mould growth in the plant soil.
6. Don’t ‘set and forget’ your air conditioner or dehumidifier.
• Regularly clean or replace air conditioner filters as required.
