10 Houseplants that clean the air in our homes.

The air we breath in our homes isn’t as clean as it should be. Dust particles, synthetic fabrics on furniture and paint all add pollutants to the air in our homes. Here are just a two of the pollutants that can be found in your home.

• Benzene is found in paint, glues, furniture polish and detergents.

• Ammonia is found in our household sprays and aerosols.

Doesn’t sound good does it.  In the winter with the windows closed up those pollutants become even more potent. House plants work hard to clean the air and rid our homes of toxins, plus they are nice to look at.
