Air-Purifying Houseplants

Choosing the right air purifying plants for your home can detoxify the air in your living spaces, meaning your houseplants not only look lovely but work a little harder to clean the air you breathe in. NASA’s Clean Air Study found that there are a number of air-purifying plants that can detoxify your home from the airborne toxins, dust, and germs that can be found in a variety of household products, materials, and furniture.

 

Besides houseplants, there are other ways you can purify the air in your home:

• Keep your floors clean by vacuuming and mopping.
• Avoid synthetic cleaners or air fresheners.
• Reduce humidity in your air.
• Increase ventilation.

In fact, some studies also used air filters in combination with plants. So if you’re new to planting or don’t have enough room, purchasing an air filter is one easy step to cleaner air.
