Most of us think of a spring meadow, with a hillside of lavender, when we think of “Fresh Air” But how many homes have fresh clean air? Our homes reek of lingering stale smoke, pet and dirty gym sock odors. As consumers we buy everything on the market to remove the odors in our homes, the stench is still prevalent. Home improvement has come a long way. Here's some tips on how to keep your home air fresh and clean.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Portable clothes line
  • Air purifier
  • Soy candles
  • Windows with screens
  1. Step 1

    You can light some scented soy candles, or spray your home with air fresheners.

  2. Step 2

    It it’s a nice day open up your windows. Ventilate your home with fresh clean air.

  3. Step 3

    Wash your clothes, bedding and drapes and then hang them outside on a portable clothes line. Your laundry will have a fresh clean scent.

  4. Step 4

    If you prefer a permanent solution to the air quality in your home, then you should invest in an Air Purifier. For homes with multi pets and high traffic areas, the air purifier is a must have.
