Health and housing, factors for enjoying a hygienic home

Hygiene at home is as important as personal hygiene. If we do not live in healthy houses, we can hardly avoid diseases or respiratory complications. This is why the duo of health and housing is so important.

To live in a hygienic home, it is necessary to go much further than the idea of keeping the house clean. We must also take into account the type of products we use to disinfect the rooms, the places where garbage is stored, the possible entry of contaminants, and of course, the air we breathe. Because it is of little use to take care of ourselves if we do not consider the quality of the air in our home.

First of all, if we want to live in a healthy home that protects us from diseases, what we must do is maintain strict cleaning. For example, by following these tips:

• It is essential that, if we want to improve our health and have the housing protect us from diseases, we keep the kitchen in perfect condition. The sink and the surfaces where we dry dishes can harbor many bacteria and also cause mold or dampness. All parts of the kitchen must be cleaned regularly.
• It is optimal to store the garbage bin in a place away from where it can generate bad odors, which would mean that something spoiled could contaminate the air. If it is in sight or in our living space, we must throw out the trash frequently.
• When we use disinfectants or degreasers in our home, it is essential to air out the space. To enjoy good health and have housing that is pleasant for those of us who inhabit it, it is very important to consider that chemical products can be a poison if we breathe them frequently. Additionally, they can produce stale air.
• We must also regularly change the cloths used for cleaning. All cleaning utensils need to maintain their hygiene and avoid the formation of bacteria.
• We cannot overlook the bathroom, where the shower must be disinfected, as must the sink and the basin for washing hands. In the case of the sinks, good ventilation is essential. It is always necessary to have a bathroom exhaust fan.
• We have to combat humidity not only with the necessary air renewal but also by being careful to change towels or whatever we have wet at any moment. For example, drying clothes indoors can be a problem for that.
• Obviously, clean hands are also very important to maintain optimal hygiene at home. Everything we touch can become contaminated if we do not practice personal hygiene.

The air we breathe: health and pleasant housing for all

Often, when we think about living a healthy life, we think about sports, good nutrition, or controlling alcohol intake. But we forget to remember the importance of air quality. It is of little use to have a good body if we can suffer from lung problems.

Indoors, it is very important to keep in mind that clean air is the most crucial part of hygiene in housing to achieve true well-being. For this, it is not enough to open the windows. The air in cities carries many pollutants that it is better to avoid.

The double flow mechanical ventilation systems are the ideal solution for enjoying clean air indoors. Thanks to them:

• We will keep the rooms free of humidity, and we won’t suffer from fogging on the windows when we shower.
• We prevent the entry of contaminants and particles from outside.
• Mosquitoes or other insects cannot enter the home.
• Stale air and humidity are automatically eliminated.
• The necessary volume of air, both extracted and introduced, is guaranteed by the inlet and outlet ducts. The detectors and sensors take care of knowing when it is necessary to renew the air.
• The heat in summer and the cold in winter are combated thanks to this system.
