My Reading Room
It’s easy to think that air pollution happens only outdoors. However, studies have shown that the environment indoors also puts you at risk of irritants and toxins. In fact, indoor air pollutants can be more harmful than outdoor pollutants, as they are trapped in confined spaces and can directly affect your wellbeing. Such pollutants, which include mould and chemicals, can lead to unwanted health problems and allergies. Therefore, having clean indoor air is essential at home.
As many cleaning products are solvent-based and heavily perfumed, they may trigger allergic reactions, causing respiratory problems and skin rash. If your children frequently crawl and play on the floor, it’s vital to choose the right cleaning products for your home to ensure that the health of your family is not at risk.

For a hassle-free way of maintaining your wood floors, Bona recommends the following tips: Dust and sweep regularly to remove dirt and prevent scratches on the surface of the floor; then, clean with a mop and cleaning product that is formulated for wood flooring. Lastly, maintain with polishes and a floor refresher.
