1. Install an air purifier at home
The choice is yours, but let's get this straight right away,what devices the market offers today and what you really need. Air purifier. A good thing. It has a multi-level cleaning system - from 4 to 8 levels. Filters the air, including from house mites and spores of house fungi. There are with additional ionization, with humidification. Air humidifier. Does not clean the air. Makes sense where there is excessive dryness. For example, in houses with central heating. Ozonizer. You need to be very careful with it. Especially when using an industrial ozonizer. It is used only when there are no people in the room. Ozone is a strong oxidizer, it can cause damage to the mucous membrane. Ionizer. The situation with it is complicated. The first kind of ionizer is the Chizhevsky chandelier. The idea is certainly correct, because we live in the era of deionization, we have monitors everywhere. But sooner or later the thing just becomes a dust collector. Granite provides additional ionization, but one stone is not enough here. It must be a powerful structure. For example, some metro stations are made of granite, there is additional air ionization. Air conditioning. A good thing, but it is necessary to monitor it, because often from an air purifier the air conditioner turns into a source of dust collection.

2. Take care of the installed air purification device
Definitely! You need to clean all the above devices regularly, only then will there be an effect. And this is a very important point. Otherwise, your device will have a negative effect.
3. Free the room from unnecessary "dust collectors"
Remove rugs and carpeting.These are sources of dust. And for cleaning, use microfiber cloths so that they do not raise fine dust. Store books in cabinets under glass, otherwise they also become an ordinary dust collector.
4. Do not keep animals at home
Their dandruff and saliva are the sourcespollution. And animals are not intended for life in domestic conditions. As for plants, then choose for yourself. If you want, let them grow. But they do not have any medicinal properties, they do not clean the air.

5. After a leakage, make sure to repair
If there is a leak in the house, then a house fungus will start to grow (its spores are a powerful allergen). Therefore, be sure to make repairs with antifungal treatment.
6. Do not save on finishing materials
When choosing finishing materials, askhygienic certificate. If you have one, you can take it. Don't buy into cheap stuff. You can't save on housing at all, it's the place where we spend most of our lives.
7. Buy a modern vacuum cleaner
It is better with a HEPA filter (with a fine air purification system), because a regular vacuum cleaner only raises fine dust, but does not capture it.
