In winter, we spend most of our time indoors – with the heating on, little fresh air, and often dry, polluted indoor air. This can irritate the respiratory tract, weaken the immune system, and impair our overall well-being. Here are the most important tips on how to keep your indoor climate healthy and comfortable even in the cold season:
1. Clean the air regularly
Heating not only dries the air but also sets more airborne particles, viruses, bacteria, and house dust in motion. A powerful air purifier with a HEPA H13 filter helps to effectively reduce these – ideal for a more hygienic home.
2. Ensure optimal humidity
The ideal humidity level is between 40% and 60%. If the air is too dry, mucous membranes can dry out, increasing the risk of infection. Humidifiers, houseplants, or a bowl of water on the radiator can help balance the indoor climate.
3. Ventilation – but properly
Even in cold weather, you should regularly ventilate by opening windows fully for short periods (several times a day for 5-10 minutes) to remove CO₂ and moisture. Windows left permanently tilted, on the other hand, provide little fresh air and only cause unnecessary heat loss.
4. Consider energy efficiency
Air purifiers, heaters, and humidifiers often run for hours in winter. Therefore, look for energy-efficient devices to keep electricity costs under control – without sacrificing comfort.
5. Clean surfaces and textiles regularly
In enclosed spaces – especially during winter – dust, skin flakes, and small particles accumulate on upholstery, carpets, and curtains. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter makes a significant difference. Additionally, a robust robotic vacuum cleaner like the Klyqa Klyna can provide valuable support in everyday life: it automatically cleans floors and upholstery, continuously reducing pet hair, fine dust, and textile debris. Combined with your air purifier, this creates a powerful duo for clean indoor air.
