Your home should be where you feel the safest. From the air you breathe inside, to the water that runs through your faucets, there are a lot of factors that can contribute to your family’s health and well-being. Home upgrades aren’t always about improving aesthetics – sometimes it’s about making healthier choices for your loved ones. Find out which home upgrades can help improve your health.
Clean, safe water is a necessity in every household. You need it to cook, clean, shower and do laundry. However, not all water is the same. Unfiltered tap water may contain contaminants, such as lead, chlorine, arsenic, nitrates and PFOS, that can be harmful to your health over time. Luckily, whole house water filters can help reduce these contaminants and other particles that may be found in your tap water. With a whole house water filter, you can receive cleaner, safer water from every faucet. Having cleaner water running throughout your entire house means you can benefit from:
Are you considering new flooring for your home? Flooring is an important feature, afterall, your kids play on it, you walk on it and it can change the aesthetic of your entire home. Unfortunately, many flooring options contain harmful chemicals that can contribute to indoor air pollution. Over time, flooring with toxic materials can begin to emit harmful toxins into the air. According to the World Health Organization, indoor air pollution was responsible for 4.3 million deaths in 2012.
Keep your family safe and your home free of air pollution by comparing your flooring options carefully. Flooring that contains toxic chemicals that can be harmful to you and your family include certain carpet, vinyl, laminate and synthetic flooring. Healthier, non-toxic flooring options for your home are:
Whether you’re decorating a nursery, or adding an accent wall, painting is an easy home upgrade. Unfortunately, many of the paints you find in stores today may contain toxic chemicals, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
You can often smell the fumes from these compounds as you paint. While most of the VOCs will be released as the paint dries, some compounds can remain present for years, putting your family’s health at risk. Many of these compounds are known as carcinogens and have been linked to cancer, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Moreover, these components can also cause you to develop a headache while painting and can even cause asthma or allergies over time.
When selecting paint, avoid options with high concentrations of VOCs, such as:
Help improve the health and safety of your family by detoxing your walls with these five zero VOC interior paint options:
Mold spores, dust mites, pollen and pet dander can accumulate inside your home and cause allergies or asthma to flare up. According to WebMD, roughly 20 million Americans are allergic to dust mites. While regular cleaning can help remove particles that have settled on the floor and furniture surfaces, using an air purifier can help filter particles circulating in the air before they settle on an object.
If you or your family members have allergies or asthma, an air purifier can help improve your health. When choosing an air purifier for your home, you’ll want to consider which pollutants you would like removed and the size of the room you’ll be using it in. Furthermore, you’ll have a variety of filters to choose from, including:
Another investment that can help improve your indoor air quality is a central vacuum system. A regular vacuum may reduce particles found on the ground and around furniture, but a majority of dust is still left behind. A central vacuum system removes 100% of pollen, dust and pet dander from your home and exhausts it outside. This will result in reduced allergy and asthma symptoms for you and your family. When you upgrade your home with a central vacuum system, you can benefit from:
Your home should be the safest place for you and your family. Making these home upgrades will help insure you and your loved ones are staying healthy.
