Would you believe that indoor air is 10x more pollutant than outdoor air?! When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Outdoor allergens are blown around, beat down by rain and have infinite space to move about. Unfortunately, it’s not the same situation with inside spaces. Indoor allergens are confined to a much smaller space where they can build up and have no means of escaping. Whether you’ve just dusted, vacuumed, had a renovation or construction work done or opened your windows for some “fresh air”, you may be breathing in A LOT more contaminants than you think!
