5 Home Health Hacks That Everyone Should Know

The global trend for health & well-being has reached Australia, and as it is the middle of our summer, people are out and about, engaging in healthy activities, enjoying the amazing weather. In this short article, we take a look at health & well-being in the home and point out a few hacks to ensure your home is clean and healthy.

Air purifying plants

Let Mother Nature do her thing in your living space by placing a few attractive plants that purify the air. Bring nature into your home to elevate your mood; Google can help you discover the species that do a comprehensive number on the atmosphere. We all need a connection with nature and a visit to your local garden centre should help you choose the right type of plants that purify the air while also adding colour and texture.

Water filtration

Ask a leading supplier to come and test your water supply; Google ‘water filter in Australia’ and check out the range of filtration systems; reverse osmosis is the perfect system to ensure that there are no impurities in the water. If the water is hard, there are softening treatments that are effective and easy to maintain.

Create a relaxation corner

With your favourite chair, the right lighting and your Bluetooth headphones; you have the perfect place to sink back and enjoy your favourite playlists. Reserve 30 minutes at the end of the day for your own personal relaxation session and recharge your batteries after a high-pressure day at the office.

Effective shading

Vertical blinds offer fine-tuning, and made-to-measure units are affordable and easy to arrange; Google ‘blinds supplier near me’ and see what that brings. Fit blackout blinds in the bedroom, and you’ll sleep soundly; besides, keeping the sun out will prolong the life of your furniture.

Spring clean every year

Dirt and grime will find their way into your home, no matter how much you vacuum and clean. Once a year, preferably in the spring, remove all the furniture from a room, put sheets on the floor, open the windows and dust the entire room from the ceiling down. Wait 10 minutes for the dust to settle, then dust around light fittings and wipe all timber surfaces, finally, remove the sheets and deep clean the carpet or wax and polish hard floors. Room by room is the way to go; start upstairs and methodically clean, leaving the windows open when complete.

There are many ways that you can make your living space a healthier place, and let’s not forget our mental health & well-being, which many people overlook. It is nice to have a relaxing ambience when you finish a hard day at work, and with a little effort, you can transform your home.
