If your goal is cleaner, healthier air, consider these popular indoor purifiers:
- Aloe Vera: Absorbs toxins and doubles as a skin-soothing miracle.
- Snake Plants: Super low-maintenance and eliminate multiple pollutants.
- Spider Plants & Garden Mums: Easy-care and powerful purifiers.
- Peace Lilies & Bamboo: Filter formaldehyde, benzene, and more.
3. Use Your Exhaust Fans
Keep those fans running when cooking or showering. They help vent moisture out instead of letting it linger and settle in your walls or furniture.
4. Baking Soda or Rock Salt? Yep, They Work!
- Baking Soda: Place it in bowls covered with a thin cloth in humid areas.
- Rock Salt: Pour it into a bucket with holes, then place that bucket inside another to catch the drained moisture. Check it weekly and swap the salt as needed.
5. Improve Air Circulation
Open up windows when weather allows and use fans to keep air moving. Better airflow reduces moisture buildup and helps your home breathe. In high-humidity rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, install exhaust or extraction fans.
