This winter it's crucial to stop the spread of germs to stay healthy!
Is your home contributing to poor health? This winter, it's important to address the spread of germs within your living space.
Throughout each room of your home, there’s an opportunity for germs to spread and bacteria to grow.
That might sound pretty gross – a simple yet effective solution is to let fresh air
Let fresh air into your home
Open up your doors and windows every day, even if it’s cold. Ideally morning and night.
Mould has been linked to nasal congestion, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, throat irritation, reduced lung function and chronic health problems.
But if you don’t want to leave your house open for a long time in the cool weather, it’s good to know that it doesn’t take much time to make a healthy difference to your home.
If you open a window widely and open a door, it can take as little as two minutes to exchange the air in that room. If you just do a lap to open up every door and window, and then turn around to do another lap to close everything up again – you have a house full of fresh air.
Keep your home fresh and healthy with this simple tips!
