Clean Your Indoor Air

Did you know that inside your office and home, you have the off-gassing of products that you have brought into the space?  Yep.  Indoor air pollution.  Chemicals we breathe into our bodies. According to NASA, just one 10-inch houseplant per 100 sq feet can remove 90% of indoor air pollution in 24 hours.

The three main household toxins of concern are:

  • benzene
  • formaldahyde
  • trichloroethylene



Great plants to get to diffuse this situation are:

  • aloe vera
  • baby rubber plant
  • bamboo palm/reed palm
  • boston fern
  • chinese evergreen
  • dwarf date palm
  • english ivy
  • ficus
  • gerber daisy
  • moth orchid
  • mums
  • peace lily
