This time of year we are inside with doors and windows closed most of the time so the air tends to get stale and anything toxic may stick around. Spraying air fresheners to lighten the air is probably not a great solution. Better solutions exist with nature.
First and foremost, open the doors and windows when possible. Allow fresh air in when you sleep by leaving a window open just a bit.
In-home air purifiers are one solution but remember that the following plants are Mother Nature's own air purifiers. Advisable are 15 plants per 2,000 sq ft of living space.
Philodendron
Dracaena
English-ivy
Spider-plant
Weeping fig
Golden pothos
Peace lily
Chinese evergreen
Bamboo palm
Most of these are easy to grow and there is a variety of growing condition requirements. Most are easy to find in local stores and nurseries.
Practice your green thumb for green air!
