With a cheeky grin, he explains how humidity levels above 50% can invite mold and dust mites to throw a wild party in your home.

And speaking of gadgets, Eric gives a nod to the high-tech world with smart carbon monoxide detectors, reminding us that safety should never go out of style.

But don't think he's stopping there! The episode takes a playful turn as Eric talks about the dangers of using plug-in air fresheners. He cheekily likens them to vaping indoors, giving us all a reason to reconsider what's really wafting through our living spaces. Instead of masking odors, he emphasizes the importance of ventilation—yes, those bathroom and kitchen fans are not just there for decoration! They play a crucial role in expelling humidity and harmful chemicals from our homes.

As we roll through Eric's list, he touches on the importance of air filtration—because let's face it, who wants to breathe in all those nasty particles?
