Nature’s Own Air Purifiers from the Experts at McArdle’s

In these chilly winter months, it’s easy to be cooped up indoors for hours without a breath of fresh air. Dust, mold, and bacteria build up, while every day cleaning products, paints, and plastics emit formaldehyde and benzene into our poorly ventilated homes. Stale air, allergies and asthma can result as our tightly sealed homes keep the warmth inside, but also prevent fresh air from entering.

Fortunately,  plants provide “nature’s life support system,” filtering out the toxins in our air, so that we don’t have to breathe them in.  While all plants will help to clean the air inside your home or office, these plants are real superstars when it comes to removing toxins.  We highly recommend placing plants in every room, especially those with new paint or carpets. Keep the air in your home clean the natural way!
