The average bedroom is crammed with hidden dangers which can adversely affect our health. If any member of the family is asthmatic, or is affected by sneezing, coughing or itchy eyes, this is a cause for concern. An important factor is to keep the bedroom free from harmful chemicals, such as those contained in the materials used to make furniture, synthetic carpets, or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are released from the paint on the walls.
Use natural substances such as lavender to prevent insect damage to clothes in wardrobes. After dry-cleaning hang clothes out to air in a well-ventilated area for a few days before placing back in the home or wardrobe. Ideally, try to find a dry-cleaner who uses steam instead of solvents.
Built-in wardrobes are usually made from MDF (medium density fibreboard) which emits chemical vapours. Check with your carpenter or supplier before agreeing to have any work done. Ask them to choose natural wood or formaldehyde-free MDF instead.
Laminate flooring is often a major source of formaldehyde and anyone with a health issue or small children may want to test the formaldehyde concentration in the bedroom. There are companies that can carry out these checks for a small fee. Look for laminate flooring products with low VOC emission levels.
Cotton, linen and flannelette sheets can also be laden with chemicals from bleaching, dyeing and fireproofing. Try to source unbleached, organic cotton which has not been dyed, or linen sheets and bedding. Wash all bed linen thoroughly before use to get rid of chemicals and launder weekly at 60 degrees to kill dust mites.
