Use plants: Some plants, like spider plants, golden pothos, and dracaena, can absorb toxins from the air.

Reduce dampness: A dehumidifier can reduce dampness and improve air quality by removing excess moisture from the air.

Change air filters: Regularly change the air filter in your air conditioner and other household appliances.

Reduce allergens: Wash your pet's bedding often to reduce dander. You can also use a microfibre doormat and keep your home a shoe-free zone.

Use natural products: Use essential oils or simmer herbs like rosemary and lavender in water to freshen your home without adding harmful chemicals to the air.
