Getting on the Healthy Home Bandwagon

When it comes to home remodeling, the top priority is almost always comfort. And while homeowners and contractors alike are right in prioritizing comfort, there’s one other essential aspect that tends to be taken for granted: health.

In this article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, one of the leading interior, kitchen and bathroom remodeling contractors in the area, explores why more and more homeowners are becoming interested in building healthy homes.

The Rise of the Healthy Home

The rising interest in healthy home trends brings new meaning to “healthy living.” The movement is better known as healthy home remodeling, defined as anything that involves products or techniques designed to improve the indoor living environment of homes. Unfortunately, many remodelers still haven’t quite incorporated these healthy steps into their process due to higher material costs which not all homeowners can afford.

Threats to a Healthy Home

In a survey of 1,751 homeowners, 718 renters and 579 remodeling contractors, the following were considered to be the biggest threats to a healthy home.

Dust
Pet dander
Air pollution
Pests
Chemicals found in everyday household cleaning solutions

Healthy Home Trends You Can Follow

The good news is that there are some steps you can take to improve your home’s indoor environment. Something as simple as asking your remodeler to use low-VOC products can have a substantial impact. You should also have your air filters cleaned or replaced regularly. As for cleaning products, go for those with non-toxic ingredients.
