PROPAGATE MOUNTAIN AIR IN YOUR HOME
Propagating Mountain Air in Your Home demands a deliberate system. Part natural and part man-made, especially when you live where opening a window lets the problem in. This is your guide to building a self-contained atmosphere of pristine, revitalizing air.
Propagate Mountain Air in Your Home With Plants
Not only are houseplants good for the soul but they can filter the air in your home, as well as, they do in nature.
They take in carbon dioxide along with other gases and give off oxygen.
Most plants have the same biology allowing you to pick the ones that appeal to you and your watering schedule.
A plant that is very easy to grow and requires watering every two weeks or longer is the Golden Pothos (the hanging plants in the photo).
It is the most common plant used in Living Walls and for Biophilic living.
However, if you are into Orchids, Geraniums or other plants they are just as good.
Even cactus works!!
Furthermore, choose your plants for your lifestyle and how much care you want to give them.
Fortify With Mechanical Purification: The Case for A/C and Air Purifiers
House plants filter your air but sometimes there are particles in the air that a plant cannot remove such as sand, dust and microbes.
This is where an Air Conditioner and Air Purifiers come in to complete the job.
Air Conditioners (A/C)
If you are already reliant upon an A/C (Air Conditioner) to cool or heat your home, then there are a few things we need to cover.
To ensure maximum filtration, use the proper filter for your circumstances.
Many things determine the type of filter needed such as pet hair, excessive sand or dust, as well as other indoor conditions.
The rating on the filter, the MERV rating, determines how fine the particles it filters.
In addition, there are other things to consider besides the MERV rating.
These include the options of reusable, through cleaning, and disposable filters to help you with your budget and eco sensitivities.

Make sure to change your filters when required and have a schedule so you don’t wait too long.
In addition, require an annual inspection and maintenance of your A/C system to detect any problems and keep it running smoothly, longer.
It is well worth the money spent!

Air Purifiers
Air purifiers are great to get that really clean indoor air, if you cannot have plants to help.
Some of the simple air purifiers have a large filter that needs changed when the indicator on the purifier alerts you.
Furthermore, every week the outside fabric cover needs removed and washed and put back on to keep the air filter cleaner, longer.
Using an air purifier can really improve air quality in your home!
Maintaining Your Mountain Air Status
Keeping a clean, dust and clutter free home is a great step in the right direction to maintaining your mountain air status.
There are some things you can do when you enter your home to keep outside contaminants, outside.
Take your shoes off near the door or have a place to wash your feet if you go barefoot.
Dust and vacuum your home every week to keep the airborne particles under control.
Vacuum out the A/C vents, if they are in the floor, to keep the dust from accumulating and re-entering your home.
Applying these few principles help create the clean air you are seeking.
To truly propagate mountain air in your home, adopt a purposeful strategy.
Begin by introducing air-purifying plants tailored to your lifestyle for natural filtration.
Next, fortify this foundation with mechanical purification. Optimize your A/C system with proper filters and maintenance.
In addition, consider adding an air purifier for fine particulate matter or if you cannot keep plants.
Finally, maintain this pristine environment through diligent household habits like removing shoes, regular cleaning, and vent maintenance.
Together, these deliberate steps create the mountain air in your home that you are looking for.
