3 Steps to Cultivate a Healthy Home

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Your home should be a safe haven. Unfortunately, environmental factors can compromise the quality of air you breathe and the water you drink in your house. Follow these steps to cultivate healthier spaces and greater peace of mind:

Powerful Cleaning Solutions

Poor indoor air quality can contribute to respiratory problems, headaches, itchy eyes and more. So if you’re tired of traditional cleaning methods that kick up the very dust and debris you’re working to eliminate, it’s time to level up your cleaning tools.

The new PURE ONE S Series from Tineco features two vacuums that deliver powerful performance. The Tineco S70, ideal for use across multiple surfaces, has a six-stage filtration system that removes 99.99% of micro dust. To swiftly capture dust, debris and pet hair without clogging, the model relies on 200 air watts of powerful suction and an Upgraded 3DSense Pro Cleaning System, which includes four main components:

DustSense: Precise suction, thanks to real-time dust detection and automatic power adjustment based on dust volume.

LightSense: A 150-degree wide-angle headlight that illuminates a large area, clearly revealing dust particles as small as 0.02mm.

EdgeSense: Edge-to-edge cleaning with an automatic suction boost near walls.

ClogLess System: An upgraded brush, plus a large suction inlet area for clog-free large debris cleaning.

Its many features, including its lengthy runtime, a 180-degree foldable vacuum tube, multiple attachments, and compact charging stand, are designed with convenience in mind, as is the hands-free dustbin offering quick, hygienic disposal for a wellness-focused cleaning experience.

An additional model in the series, which helps reveal and remove hidden dust from the home, is the S50 Pro. These vacuums are available on Amazon and the Tineco online store.

Fresh, Filtered Water

Both tap and bottled water commonly contain contaminants that can be harmful to human health. For better tasting water that’s healthier for you and your family, use one of today’s top-quality water filters designed to remove everything from heavy metals and bacteria to microplastics and pesticides. With home models as versatile as pitchers you can refrigerate, dispensers you can rest on your countertop, and attachments that fit in your sink basin, you’re certain to find a filter that works for your family’s needs and preferences. For best results, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding filter replacement.

Humidity Regulation

Keeping your home at healthy humidity levels (30-60%) is essential for good health. During upsurges of humidity, a dehumidifier run in moist areas like the basement, bathroom and kitchen will reduce the potential for mildew and mold. Both can cause allergic reactions, with mold being particularly dangerous, in some cases posing a threat to liver and neurological health. When humidity levels plummet, use a humidifier to counteract dryness. This will help skin retain moisture so that it’s less prone to chapping and cracking and give sinuses and nasal passages a healthy boost so they can fight infections. For ultimate control and convenience, choose smart models that can be operated remotely, and that will adjust settings as needed. Many systems also send notifications when it’s time for you to take action, such as filling or emptying the water tank or cleaning the filter.

While you can’t control environmental factors like pollution and allergens, you can take steps to create a healthy home. Fortunately, technology is making it possible to easily and conveniently tackle these challenges.
