How to improve indoor air quality and help with allergies?
My niece has developed allergies. I was suggesting to her mom that she try to improve the indoor air quality in the home by reducing allergens in the air, such as dust, mold spores etc. The docors have told her hat she has slight sensitivity to pollen and dust mites. But her mom told me she gets sick in the winter time, so I asked her if she had any mold in her home. It turn out she had a very serious mold problem. The walls in the house get very cold and damp (the house in POLAND). So apart from cleaning the mold, and adding insulation ec. would it be better to get an air dehumififier for the home which should reduce moisture or an air purifier which is supposed to help remove mold spores from the air as well as other allergens??? any oher suggestions???help i’m so confused
ometnico answers:
I would go for the dehumidifier. You can “clean” the air without an air purifier by doing things such as… Having bare floors where possible, washing bedding in hot water and regularly vacuuming her mattress (and replace pillow if old), using allergy covers on mattress and pillow, cleaning house regularly, and for air quality, house plants do a wonderful job (just make sure she’s not allergic to them), etc.
Jenny asks…
I intend to buy an air purifier for my apt and would like some recommendations as to what kind to get.?
I don’t want a HEPA one as the filters are too expensive. I do want one that will do the entire apt (is effective through walls), does not produce ozone and costs less than $300. It should destroy mold, dust mites, dust and eliminate odors.
ometnico answers:
If you dont want ozone dont get one with ionizer. Also look for ones with ratings on the box.
