Most of us like to be clean and live in fresh, sweet-smelling homes. We love to have the smell of freshly laundered clothes rinsed in our favorite fabric conditioner, so they smell good when hanging in the closet. We also love to wear scented deodorants, body lotions, creams, hair products, etc. I used to linger in the laundry soap aisle of the supermarket sniffing the different fabric conditioners to find the one I liked the most until I realized just how damaging they are!
So of course I started to rethink everything I used, but I couldn’t get rid of all of it, so I decided to find a way of combatting the toxins produced by the household and personal care items that I just had to keep in my life. The answer – air-purifying plants! Genius! So I’ve done all the donkey work for you and compiled a list of the best 10 Indoor Plants That Clean The Air (Anti-Pollution Plants) so you can live in a cleaner and healthier environment AND bring some color and living joy into your home.
You may be wondering just how a plant does all this? Well, the leaves of the plant absorb toxins from the air and pull them down through the roots into the soil. The toxins are then neutralized by the microbes in the soil. The leaves of the plant are then able to oxygenate the room via respiration, and we breathe in all that lovely oxygen that they have produced – working in harmony together.
