How To Eliminate Toxic Chemicals From Your Home

Install Carbon Monoxide And Other Detectors

Carbon monoxide is another dangerous toxin that can pollute your home without you knowing it. Several household devices, including your fuel-fired furnace, gas dryer, and gas stove, produce carbon monoxide. If left unchecked, carbon monoxide entering the home through a leak or another performance issue can lead to injury and even death.

The best method of protecting your family and yourself is to install carbon monoxide and other detectors. These detectors are designed to alert you of any unusual levels of carbon monoxide and other toxins in your home. When installing your devices, be sure to get a reliable one. Also keep in mind if your detector is more than five years old, it may need to be replaced.

Thoroughly Clean Your Home Every Season

Most homeowners do a decent job of keeping their homes relatively clean with some regularity. However, most of this weekly or daily cleaning is simply maintenance cleaning that doesn’t really deep clean the home and get rid of toxic chemicals and germs building up. To really detox your home, thoroughly clean your home every season.

A cleaning like this should be top to bottom and, of course, utilize non-toxic cleaning products. Clean everything from the countertops to the walls, baseboards, floors, drains, and upholstery. Also, take the time to check the detectors in your home to ensure they are working correctly.
