Making your home look great on the inside is important for many homeowners, but what’s more important is your health. Whether you’re buying a new home or you simply want to make sure your current home is healthy and safe for your family, there are some basic renovations you can make for a healthier home.
Replace Windows
Old single-pane windows allow for moisture and mold buildup, and this mold and mildew buildup can increase the mold level in the air in your home. By replacing old windows with insulated double-pane windows, you’ll be able to get rid of mold and mildew that can make you and your family sick. Start with windows in the bathroom.
Choose Healthy Flooring
Some types of flooring emit unhealthy VOC gasses when they’re installed. However, you can install asthma and allergy-friendly floors certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Buy Household Products Carefully
Certain household products can make your home’s air unhealthy, including cleaners and PVC shower curtains. Choose products that don’t emit chemicals into the air and enjoy the cleaner air.
