It may smell nice, but it’s hurting your indoor air quality
There are many odors that we have from time to time in our Orlando homes. One typical way people deal with these odors is to spray some “air freshener, or to light a candle. For the most part these quick fix remedies only cover the odor for a short time. As far as air fresheners go, if you can smell it, you are breathing in those harsh chemicals. That isn’t the best thing for your lungs to have to deal with, especially if you have breathing sensitivities. Candles do damage to our indoor air quality by all the smoke they produce. When you you use either of these “cover up’” methods you introducing all of their by products in your indoor air. I know the result of using these products, but is it worth it? If you smell them, you are introducing them to your body. You wouldn’t spray an air freshener into your nose or your child’s nose directly, but you are by spraying them in the air you both breathe. Those air borne contaminants also get sucked up into your A/C unit and pushes it throughout your entire home. Bottom line, be aware of the products you use, especially when it come to you and your families health.
