Tips on How to Keep Indoor Air Quality Good After Home Renovation

Tips on How to Keep Indoor Air Quality Good After Home Renovation

A home renovation is exciting as you update your place to match your current style, taste, or needs. Of course, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies because there may be inconveniences during the process since you cannot access that area, and there’s the cost you need to consider. But once it’s done and you are satisfied with the outcome, everything will be worth it. However, remember that dirt and dust may spread around the house during the renovation, which could affect indoor air quality.

Therefore, you need to take care of it for your family’s health as soon as possible. Poor indoor air quality could put your health at risk and make you prone to various illnesses, including nasal problems, respiratory diseases, coughing, fatigue, allergies, and headaches. Older adults, little children, and those with existing health problems are more at risk because their immune system is not that strong. Here’s how to improve air quality after a home renovation.

Clean thoroughly

Cleaning the house after the renovation is a normal thing to do. But thorough cleaning is needed to ensure it’s free from dust, dirt, and other debris. Depending on the areas affected, you may need to get the furniture and appliances out in each room to clean every inch and the things you moved out before putting them back in. There might still be some dirt left even after that, so you may need another round of cleaning in the next few days until you’re happy with the result.

Get HVAC maintenance

Dirt and dust may also reach the ducts and other parts of the HVAC system. HVAC Aurora IL providers recommend getting professional HVAC service after a home renovation to remove dust and dirt and ensure it works properly. These particles could be blown into the air when the HVAC runs, which could cause health problems. Moreover, it could affect the system’s efficiency as it needs to work harder to blow cooled or heated air. It increases energy consumption and puts a toll on its parts, making it prone to damage or premature replacement.

Let the air circulate properly

Besides the dirt and dust, the smell of chemicals used in home renovation, like paints, can also be strong and toxic. So, open your doors and windows to let the contaminated indoor air go out, and fresh air gets in.

Use an air purifier

If you don’t have one yet, consider buying an air purifier. It’s a good investment, especially if you want to ensure the quality of the air indoors, even long after the renovation is done. A high-quality machine can help purify the air by pulling unwanted particles or pollutants into the filter.

Store or dispose of chemicals used

If products left from the renovation contain chemicals, store them properly to avoid spills and their smell from lingering. If you will not use them, dispose of them, but be sure to do them properly. To lessen the amount of dirt and dust that spread in the house, clean up what you can after each working day of the renovation. Then, you’ll have less to clean once it’s done.
