After a busy working week, the house often becomes messy and stuffy. Therefore, housewives should apply some ways to keep the living space airy, clean and do not take too much time cleaning on weekends.
Open windows for air circulation
This is one of the simple ways but brings optimal efficiency to the home. Closing doors regularly to prevent dust increases the amount of CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) accumulated in the home.
Therefore, take advantage of the fresh air every early morning to open all windows and doors in the house for air circulation. Open the doors opposite each other to create a wind flow through the room, pushing the prison air out, the mold out and welcoming new air in.
The sunlight that comes in also plays an important role in killing bacteria and mold in the home. The ideal ventilation time should last from 15 to 30 minutes each morning.
Replace and wash soft fabrics
Not replacing the alloy blanks, mattresses, curtains and sofas for a long time will create an opportunity to "prone" bacteria, or accumulate fine dust that affects family health. This is also the main cause of bad breath and mold in the living space.
Take the weekend to replace all the pillowcases and bed sheets. Regularly collecting dust from the floor to disinfect not only helps the snail room stay clean but also significantly improves the quality of life.
Floor clearance
The chaos will create a feeling of crampedness and annoyance, making people tired. Bustling furniture will also hinder the airflow and accumulate dust in hidden corners of the house.
Spend a few minutes a weekend to move everything back to its rightful place. Keeping your desks, TV shelves and floors neat will help the space look more spacious, creating a cool and relaxing feeling for the mind.
Create natural fragrance
Instead of using chemical sprays that can cause irritation, housewives should prioritize using natural fragrances to keep the indoor space fragrant and purifying the air.
Boil a small pot of water with a few slices of lemon, lemongrass, cinnamon or grapefruit peel and then open the lid to let the steam spread throughout the house to both deodorize and avoid mold.
In addition, regularly plant a fresh flower bottle or plant a few pots of green plants that can filter the air such as the tiger tongue and betel also help increase oxygen levels and bring fresh vitality to the family space.
