Improving Bedroom Air Quality-5 Pollutants You Need To Remove From Your Bedroom Air

Airborne pollutants are everywhere inside our homes

. But trying to sleep with air that is thick with particulates, odors and gases can be miserable at best if not impossible. Getting a good night's sleep every night is directly related to how clean your air is. Here are 5 things you should eliminate from the air in your bedroom to make sleep possible.

Dust-Regardless of how clean you keep your home, there is dust in the air. Fine particulates of fabrics, dirt and sand from outdoors, hair and dander from pets, even tiny metal shavings from door hinges all contribute the fine layer of dust that settles on the furniture and floor after it falls from the air.

Taking these small and often invisible particles out of the air keeps you from inhaling them which is a good thing, particularly if you have respiratory issues such as allergies or asthma. And since bacteria and viruses often attach to these particles to travel from one host to the next, removing the particles can greatly reduce these germs as well.

Dust Mites-These are most commonly found in the bedroom. They feed on dead skin and love warm, damp places like your bed. They go airborne when doing normal activities in your bedroom such as making the bed, fluffy your pillows or even walking from one place to another. With their population left unchecked, they can trigger allergies for those who are allergic to the protein in their feces, and even hasten the onset of asthma.

Pet Dander and Hair-One of life's best treats is snuggling with your pet in the bedroom after a long day. Allowing a pet on overstuffed sofas and chairs and on the bed can be just the calm you need to relax. Unfortunately, a pet in the bedroom increases the amount of dander and hair in your air by a lot. And just like mites, it is the protein in pet dander that can cause upper respiratory problems for many. And facing a new day without having had proper rest is literally a drag.

Airborne Chemicals-Over stuffed chairs, sofas, and draperies are often treated with chemicals that make them fire retardant. These chemicals can slowly off gas into the room for months. New furniture, new carpet, and paint smells can hang in the air for weeks as well. Add to all of that cosmetic smells such as fingernail polish and remover, perfumes, and smells from cleaning agents and your bedroom can be a menagerie of chemical smells. Trying to sleep with all of that in the air is tough.

Seasonal Pollutants-The first 4 pollutants are ongoing indoor pollutants throughout the year. But in the spring there's tree pollen, summer brings grass pollen, and fall brings weed pollen. These seasonal pollens find their way into your bedroom on shoes, hair, pets, clothes and packages and add even more problems to air quality problems.

Using an air purifier in the bedroom that is specifically designed to remove particulates, gases, chemicals and odors is the only way to improve your bedroom air quality. And you'll be amazed at how well you sleep when the air in your bedroom is clean.
