Using Air Purifiers and Fans
Air purifiers for cleaner air
Picture this: your own personal air filter working for you all day long. Sounds good, right? Air purifiers clear dust, pollen and unpleasant smells from the air. An air purifier with a HEPA filter is especially good, because it tackles even the tiniest particles. Perfect if you suffer from allergies or simply like breathing clean air. Do not forget to replace the filters regularly; that keeps your air purifier working at its best!
Fans to improve air circulation
Do you have rooms without windows, or does the air simply feel stuffy? Switch on a fan! Fans help keep the air moving and reduce humidity. And if you combine them with open windows during the warmer months, you get a lovely breeze through your home.
Ventilation systems for a healthy indoor climate
Would you like to take a more professional approach? Then consider a mechanical ventilation system. It keeps the air circulating constantly, even in the tricky corners of your home. Ideal for bathrooms, cellars or kitchens where damp builds up quickly.
Tips for Removing Mould and Damp
Prevent damp problems and mould
Damp is the arch-enemy of a fresh home. It leads to mould, and that is something you really want to avoid. Make sure damp rooms are well ventilated and dry your bathroom properly with the iZi-Dry Towel or consider a dehumidifier if you need one. A dry home is a happy home!
Removing mould quickly and effectively
Have you spotted mould somewhere after all? Time to act! Use a good mould remover and tackle the problem at the root. Do not forget to wear gloves and a mask; safety first!
Ventilate damp rooms after use
Open a window for a moment or switch on the fan after showering or cooking? Do it! This helps damp escape quickly and prevents mould. Fresh air does wonders for your mood as well.
Cleaning Routines That Reduce Dust and Allergens
Vacuuming and mopping every day
We know, cleaning may not be your favourite pastime. But a quick daily round with the vacuum cleaner really does make a difference. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove even the finest dust. And with the iZi-Click Mop your floor is sparkling clean again in no time!
Wipe surfaces regularly
Tables, shelves and windowsills are real dust magnets. With the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloths you wipe dust and dirt away in moments. No streaks, no fuss. Just a fresh and clean home!
Using hypoallergenic cleaning products
Nobody wants irritating chemicals in the house. So choose hypoallergenic cleaning products, such as those from iZi-Clean. They are kind to your skin and your airways.
Plants That Help Improve the Air Quality in Your Home
Air-purifying plants in the home
Plants are not just nice to look at, they are natural air purifiers too! Think of the Sansevieria or the peace lily. These green friends clean the air and give your interior a natural touch.
Moisture-regulating plants for a better indoor climate
Is the air a bit too damp? Plants such as the areca palm take up excess moisture. They help prevent mould and look fantastic as well. Win-win!
Looking after air-purifying plants
Do not forget to look after your plants properly. A healthy plant does its job better. Water them on time, give them a nice spot in the light and some plant food now and then.
Why Airing and Ventilating Regularly Matters
Open windows and doors for fresh air
It may sound simple, but it really works! Open your windows and doors for a moment every day. Fresh air in, stuffy air out. During and after cooking or showering this is a must.
Using mechanical ventilation for constant airflow
Do you have a ventilation system? Make sure it works properly and clean the filters regularly. That keeps the air in your home clean and fresh all the time.
Keeping vents clean for better air quality
Blocked vents restrict the airflow. So clean them regularly. It only takes a few minutes and it makes a world of difference!
