Stuffy Room? It’s Time To Open Those Closed Windows And Doors
Dust buildup, allergens, and other forms of indoor air pollution cause a stuffy room and other IAQ issues. Opening those closed windows and doors frequently can help keep indoor air pollution at bay.
Why Are Closed Windows and Doors Problematic?
Air exchange is an important part of indoor air quality. Dusting, vacuuming, and sweeping will help to reduce dust, but each time you clean, some of that dust also gets sent into the air. If you have closed windows and doors, the air won't have anywhere to go, leaving dust to simply fall back onto your surfaces after you finish cleaning, leaving you with a stuffy room.
How To Know If Closed Windows And Doors Are Causing Your Stuffy Room
Indoor air pollution can cause allergy and asthma problems or worsen the problem you might already have. If you feel lousy at home but better everywhere else, the problem could be in the air.
If you clean often but the furniture and other surfaces in your home have a heavy accumulation of dust, the problem is likely that you're not getting enough fresh air in.
