Daily Activities That May Be Detrimental To Your Health

Vacuuming Dirt

Vacuuming our floors may make them look shinier and cleaner. Most vacuum cleaners do the job by sucking up the dirt but only the big pieces are retained inside the vacuum bags. The tiny dust particles pass right through the pores of the bag and back into the air before settling back on the surfaces of your house. Even in the tiniest dust particles of pet allergens and indoor dust, hazardous materials like heavy metals, lead, pesticides, and other chemicals may be present. Cleaning with a conventional vacuum cleaner does not get rid of these particles which may trigger asthma and allergies.

However, there are vacuum cleaners that come with HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters. These filters prevent even the smallest dust particles from escaping and contaminating the air you breathe inside your house.
