Quality space stems from cleanliness, hygiene, and circulating air. If the house is full of dust mites and mold, plants will be affected instead. You should first clear away accumulated dust in corners, then combine with appropriate potted plants, avoid water accumulation in the tray, and ensure magnetic field circulation. Plants like snake plants and pothos are suitable for the Hong Kong climate, but ventilation must be paid attention to. If there is still an odor after cleaning, it is usually caused by dust accumulation and dampness at the bottom of furniture or in wall-corner dead zones, requiring targeted deep mold removal and dust removal.
Cleaning as the foundation of energy
Stagnant air often stems from dust accumulation. It must start with dust removal to allow positive energy to flow and prevent dust mite growth.
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.
- Periodically use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter
- Thoroughly suck up floating dust in wall corners
- Ensure indoor air circulation to reduce potential mold growth
- Thorough vacuuming
- Cleaning wall corners and furniture bottoms
- Ensuring air circulation
Invisible blind spots for plant placement
Although plants are beneficial, if handled improperly, they will cause hygiene problems, such as water accumulating in the tray becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes or breeding mold.
- Water accumulation in the pot tray leads to mosquitoes
- Potted plants blocking ventilation holes
- Contrast between plants and dirty floors
- Ensure no water accumulates in the bottom of the pot
- Periodically prune dead leaves
- Check if there are mold spots on the bottom of the flower pot
Distinction between professional cleaning and daily maintenance
Deep dust mites and mold in carpets and fabric items can only be cleared with professional equipment; ordinary household tools are difficult to deal with hidden mold scale.
- Daily: Simple tidying, surface dusting
- Professional: Deep carpet sterilization, elimination of moldy odors
- Targeted handling of hidden mold sources
- Periodically replace air filters
- Perform deep dust removal every quarter
- Check the anti-mold status at the bottom of large furniture
