How to Make Your Home a Healthy Place to Live
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘home is where the heart is and for a good reason, as it has a lot of truth to it. A home is a sanctuary for all those who inhabit it, which makes keeping it healthy and happy paramount.
Learning how to make your home a healthy place to live is paramount and often overlooked.
Make Your Home a Healthy Place to Live
Any slight mishap can ruin the magic that makes a house complete and safe to reside in. This is why we’ve put together a few tips to assist you in making your home a healthy place to live for you and your family.
Keep it clean
Perhaps one of the essential factors in having a healthy home is cleanliness. This is essential when it comes to making a home the haven it is supposed to be. Getting rid of dirt and rubbish from all areas of the house and ensuring that no pests are regularly inside the home is necessary.
I wrote an article about being a clean freak, and for a good reason. It’s one of the most important factors in keeping your home a healthy place to live. I’ve always cleaned my own home, but hiring a good cleaning service was the perfect solution when I was working full-time in the city.
If you can’t hire a house cleaner and have to do it yourself, be sure to create a cleaning schedule, so you don’t become overwhelmed.
Adding small touches like placing sturdy doormats and dustbins around the house may seem trivial. Still, their benefits are immense as they significantly reduce the contamination that is brought into the house. Of course, cleaning with a broom, cordless vacuum, or brush as often as possible is another requirement that you can’t ignore.
Keep it ventilated
Proper ventilation is a requirement when it comes to any residency. Having proper airflow is essential for the health of you and your family. A proper ventilation system that includes installing vents, exhaust fans, and dryer lint traps will create a fresh atmosphere around the house.
Install a proper water purification system
The importance of having a proper water purification system installed in your home cannot be stressed enough. Most regular tap water is chlorinated, which makes it unhealthy for those living in the house.
When we purchased our townhouse, we were very concerned about water purification. So we use products like the ZeroWater 30 Cup Dispenser, and we love it! We also save on bottled water too because of it.
You can watch the video tutorial I made using the ZeroWater below.
Not every water purification company will do a decent job of purifying tap water, which is why having full knowledge about the business you select is vital. If proper purification is not done, then the remnants of toxic chemicals like chlorine, lead, and pesticides can seep into your system before you know it, harming your health.
Go green
While most people consider plants as part of their home décor, they actually help increase the level of healthiness in the air. The truth is that adding greenery leads to uncountable benefits for the home itself and the people living inside it.
Indoor plants act as natural air purifiers. They absorb the toxins that are invisibly floating around in the air and convert the carbon content into oxygen for you to inhale.
Slowly eliminating the use of toxic chemicals and cleaners to keep your house clean is another effective way to go green.
You can switch your cleaning products by using common household ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda together with tools like a microfiber cleaning cloth and mop that are effective even without harsh chemicals.
They make perfect household cleaners and keep your home sparkling clean too!
Adopting habits that transform your home into an epitome of healthy living is more of a necessity than a choice when it comes to staying healthy and avoiding any bad influence on your health and fitness.
A home should be a place that has no negativity infused into it and should be cleansed of all impurities for you to lead a healthy life!
I hope you learned a few good pointers about how to make your home a healthy place to live.

These are all very sensible things to consider for making your home healthy. The one that I need to take to heart is more plant life. Plants have to be tough if I am looking after them, but their benefits really are amazing and well worth the extra effort it takes to tend them.
Hi Leanna, Oh yes, I love plants in my home. I used to have so many and then over the years that kind of diminished some but I’ve always had plants. I love them in my home and have started adding new friends to my collection. There’s something so calming about them too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Plants must be intense in the event that I am taking care of them, however their advantages truly are stunning and certainly justified regardless of the additional exertion it takes to tend them
I agree! It’s so important to keep your home healthy too!
