The temperatures are falling steadily.
No wonder that the heaters are now increasingly turned up again.
But that can worsen the indoor climate.
Find out how to improve it here.
Autumn * is here and many prefer to relax in front of the television in the evening rather than being outside in the cold.
For most people, autumn also means turning the heating back on.
The heating air can worsen the room climate.
A dry throat, for example, is the result.
If you don't heat properly, you also face high heating costs.
Above all, however, there are a few tricks to improve the indoor climate during the cold season.
Use less detergent to improve the indoor climate
Of course, you can hang your laundry outside in winter too, but many have a drying rack in the living room.
In most cases, it is not taken into account that the evaporated detergent can affect the room climate.
After all, the wet laundry also increases the humidity, which promotes mold growth.
Then it is better to use less detergent and when hanging up the laundry, remember to leave a lot of space between the items of clothing.
Indoor plants in the apartment improve the air
Some houseplants are ideal for freshening up the indoor climate.
It is mainly about the increased oxygen content.
And not only that, there are also plants that filter pollutants from the air.
So how about an ivy or a dragon tree.
Humidity against dry heating air - with a coffee filter
Coffee
isn't just for drinking, as the
trick with the coffee filter
shows.
The aim here is to take action against the dry heating air.
Some might put a bowl of water on the heater at home and let the water slowly evaporate.
Others put the used coffee filter on a small plate and place it on the radiator - because that also helps to slightly increase the humidity in the room.
And a special plus: it smells wonderfully of coffee.

Better indoor climate through fresh air and a dust-free apartment
Another point for improved air in the living space is to keep it free of dust.
Incidentally, it is also worth cleaning the heating system.
Because a lot of dust collects here, especially between the grooves.
This swirls through the air afterwards.
