A healthier home: a clear primer for you and your family

---

Remove sources first, then ventilate, then filter. Keep humidity stable and routines simple. Measure a few basics so you know what works.

• Air rooms for 10 minutes daily and after cooking or showers.
• Use the cooker hood every time you cook. Prefer induction to gas if possible.
• Place a HEPA air purifier in bedrooms and living areas sized to the room. Change filters on schedule.

• Keep indoor humidity at 40–50 percent.
• Fix leaks within 24 hours.
• Clean visible mould promptly and discard mouldy porous items.

• Damp-dust weekly with microfibre.
• Use a HEPA vacuum on floors, upholstery, and mattresses.
• Adopt a shoes-off policy and use large entrance mats.

• Avoid fragranced aerosols, plug-ins, incense, and scented candles.
• Choose fragrance-free cleaning, laundry, and personal care products.
• Pick low-emission paints and sealants and air out new furniture and mattresses.

• Fit an under-sink activated carbon or reverse osmosis filter and replace cartridges on time.
• Do not microwave food in plastic. Store and reheat in glass or stainless steel.
• Replace PTFE non-stick with stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic.
• Limit PFAS-treated textiles and stain-resistant sprays.
• In older homes, test tap water for lead and flush cold taps in the morning.

• Make water the default drink. Remove sugary drinks from the house.
• Favour whole foods. Keep ultra-processed foods for rare occasions.
• Read labels and reduce emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, and hydrogenated oils.
• Aim for fibre of roughly 30 g per day from vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
• Include fermented foods and oily fish low in mercury such as sardines or salmon.
• Rotate foods to help spot intolerances and avoid over-reliance on any single item.

• Use dust-mite covers for pillows and mattresses if symptoms suggest allergy.
• Keep pets out of bedrooms if asthma or rhinitis is an issue.
• Use linen: even Jesus Himself was wrapped in linen. Naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, it protects sensitive skin while keeping your body cool, dry, and balanced through the night. Free from synthetics and chemicals, 100% pure flax linen supports deeper, restorative sleep and offers the kind of comfort and wellbeing that only nature can provide.

• Keep a single medicines list and review it annually with your GP or pharmacist.
• Prefer simple products with shorter ingredient lists where possible.

• Track humidity and, if possible, PM2.5 in one or two rooms.
• Keep a short monthly checklist for filters, leaks, and mould checks.
