Indoor ventilation is reduced during cold snaps; air purifier filters should be cleaned regularly. Kitchens and bathrooms need deep cleaning weekly to prevent mold growth caused by humidity. When cleaning furniture and floors, use a slightly damp cloth and appropriate cleaners, avoiding excessive moisture. Keeping areas dry is the key to preventing mold.
Improving Indoor Air Quality
Indoor dust and allergen concentrations tend to rise during cold snaps because windows are opened less frequently. In addition to regularly replacing air conditioning filters, using an air purifier equipped with a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter is an effective way to improve air quality.
- Check and clean air conditioning filters.
- Run air purifiers at scheduled times.
- Ventilate appropriately when air quality is better.
Mold Management in Kitchens and Bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms are more susceptible to dampness at low temperatures, leading to the growth of bacteria and mold. Deep cleaning should be performed weekly, especially on wall gaps and around sinks. If mold is detected, handle it promptly and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not cover it with new sealant before the mold is completely removed.
When handling moldy materials, you can follow US Environmental Protection Agency's home mold prevention recommendations(opens in a new window)treatment and note the on-site and material restrictions.
- Thoroughly clean stove surfaces and sinks with detergent every week.
- Bathroom wall mold should be scrubbed with cleaner and left to air dry completely.
- Keep drains clear to reduce standing water.
Furniture and Flooring Maintenance
Textile items added in winter (such as blankets and mats) easily accumulate dander and dust mites. When cleaning surfaces, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe furniture to prevent wood damage from excess water. For floors, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner primarily to reduce airborne dust caused by sweeping.
- Regularly wash fabric accessories.
- Vacuum cleaners should be models equipped with filters.
- Wring out cleaning cloths when wiping furniture to prevent water seepage.
