Hannah Keeley, lifestyle expert, author and founder of TotalMom.com. gives her practical, everyday tips for making your home cleaner, healthier and more comfortable.

• Replace incandescent bulbs with fluorescent.
These spiral-shaped eco-friendly wonders not only cut down on carbon dioxide emissions, but they are also great little time and money savers. They use about one-fourth of the energy to put out the same amount of light and lasts a lot longer.
• Put some mats outside your doors.
You can easily cut your cleaning time in half if you take simple measures to keep dirt out in the first place. Choose some big mats that will do their duty to scrape the dirt off of shoes.
• Clean your air.
Installing a whole home air filtration system in your home may not be a bad investment. You won't have to buy those ineffective disposable air filters anymore, or have to dust and clean nearly as often. But the greatest benefit of all is not breathing in air full of contaminants, such as pollen, dust, dander and other unmentionables.
• Install some weather stripping.
Many doors and windows have little cracks that your regular Joe, or Joanne, overlooks. Installing weather stripping, which is a flexible sealer around the moving parts of doors and windows, is an easy weekend task and it saves a bundle in energy costs.
