How to clean up your house or apartment? The Ministry of Health and Inpes want to make the French aware of the quality of indoor air through a guide and a website launched this Saturday, April 18. On www.prevention-maison.fr, we navigate from room to room – the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the baby’s room – to discover the different sources of indoor pollution and the practical tips that will help make your home healthy and safe.
With this fairly fun site, it is easy to identify the various pollutants: smoking, mold, cleaning products, paints, etc. which can be the cause of allergies, respiratory tract irritation, headaches or poisoning. Among the recommendations: air your accommodation every day for 10 minutes, summer and winter; have its heating devices serviced each year by professionals; wear suitable protection when tinkering, especially when sanding; if possible hang the laundry outside, etc.
The guide can be ordered free of charge on the site and sent to your home.
