🌬️ The importance of indoor air quality and how cleaning helps

When we think about air pollution, our minds usually turn to busy roads and city smog — but what many people don’t realise is that indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air. According to DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), the air we breathe inside our homes, schools, and workplaces can be filled with pollutants that affect both our health and wellbeing.

Why indoor air quality matters

With the average person in the UK spending over 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a significant role in our overall health. Common indoor air pollutants include:

• Dust and pet dander

• Mould spores

• Cleaning chemical residues

• Cooking emissions

• Tobacco smoke

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from furniture and décor

Poor IAQ has been linked to:

• Headaches and fatigue

• Allergies and asthma flare-ups

• Eye and throat irritation

• Long-term respiratory issues

This is especially important for children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions, who are more vulnerable to indoor pollutants.

How cleaning improves indoor air quality

At KP Prestige Clean, we know that a clean space is not just about visual appeal — it’s about healthier living.

1. Minimising dust and allergens

Routine dusting with high-quality microfibre cloths traps fine particles that trigger asthma and hay fever.

2. Mould prevention

Damp environments like bathrooms and kitchens are hotspots for mould, which can damage health and property. Our deep cleaning and anti-microbial treatments help prevent growth and keep spaces fresh and safe.

3. Vent and airflow maintenance

Blocked air vents, extractor fans, and radiators can reduce airflow and cause stale air to linger. We ensure these areas are kept clean, allowing for better air circulation and a fresher indoor environment.

4. Eco-friendly cleaning products

We use products that comply with UK COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations. This protects both our clients and our staff, and it keeps your air free from harsh chemical residues.

5. Soft furnishings and carpets

Carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture trap dirt, dust mites, and bacteria. Regular professional cleaning reduces the build-up of allergens and helps keep air quality high.

UK Guidance and Support

Organisations such as Asthma + Lung UK and the NHS recognise the importance of clean indoor environments in managing respiratory health. Clean homes and workplaces are not a luxury — they’re essential to long-term wellness.
