Diwali is the season of lights; of joy and of celebration but ironically has heavy air pollution due to fireworks, smoke, and dust. With Diwali 2025 approaching, maintaining good air quality inside your home becomes as important as decorating it. A few mindful steps will enable one to celebrate without having to compromise one’s health.
1. Keep windows timed right.
Windows are tempting for fresh air, but they need to be timed. Close your doors and windows during peak hours of firecracker usage (usually evening to late night). Ventilate at dawn while the outside air is fresh.
2. Embed natural air purifiers.
House plants such as areca palm, peace lily, snake plant, and aloe vera are examples of natural indoor air purifiers. Place them near windows and other living areas so that they can absorb toxins and release oxygen keeping the air fresher throughout the festive week.
3. Use Diffusers of Essential Oils or Camphor
Eucalyptus, peppermint, and lemongrass can be used instead of synthetic room sprays. They purify the air and add pleasant festive aroma to the house. Burning natural camphor (kapoor) is another traditional and effective means of reducing indoor pollutants.
4. Maintain Dust-Free Surfaces.
Clean and Decorated for Diwali, fine dust clinging often to objects also lingers in crevices up above. Wipe furniture, curtains, and floors once a day with a damp cloth to limit travel of dust particles in the air. Also, using a HEPA vacuum cleaner helps in keeping air hygiene.
5. Try DIY Air Fresheners.
For a lovely natural festive smell, boil cloves, cinnamon, and orange peels in water. It is not chemical infested, refreshing, and puts you in the best mood instantly.
