Airborne pathogens,
dust, toxins are always floating in the air undetected. That is when air
purifiers come in handy and does it job - clean the air and make it toxin free.

People with asthma,
sinus, allergies, and elderly people benefit immensely from installing air
purifiers in their homes, especially in their bedroom. It improves air quality

While bedroom makes the
best place for air purifiers - you will be breathing deep while you're sleeping

Air Purifier: How does it work?
Air purifiers clean “polluted”
air inside your rooms.
According to a Achoo
Allergy and Air Products, many people spend 90% of their time indoors, and the
air inside is 5-10% dirtier than outside. That is why having an air purifier
system in your home is very necessary.
Air purifiers engage in
"air exchange."
The fan built inside
the unit sucks in polluted air, filters it by sending the air through the
"filtration process", and releases clean air back into the room. Each
machine is capable of filtering a single-room environment, small or large. If
you need to clean multiple rooms, you need to have one air purifier in each
room.
Uses of Air Purifiers
Having an air purifiers
in your room is like having a 24/7 protection system to your and your family's
health. It protects everyone (especially people with sinus, asthma, and
allergies) from airborne toxins such as dust mites, mildew, mold spores, pet
dander, airborne bacteria, odors, gases and volatile organic compounds that are
usually found in household products such as paints, varnishes, adhesives,
disinfectants, and cleaning supplies.
Because many people
spend most of their time indoors, it is a good idea to have air purifier in
your rooms to protect yourself against contamination, allergies, and asthma
that arise from "polluted" air.
The best place for your air purifier
You can place air
purifiers anywhere inside your home, but placing it inside your bedrooms and
living room would benefit you the most.
If you are placing air
purifiers inside your bedroom, make sure to place it about 6 to 10 feet far
from the head of your bed, with the air purifier facing towards you.
Anything closer than
this distance will cause you to feel a draft; any further away from this
recommended placement and you might not be able to receive the full benefits of
breathing filtered air.
The unit must be placed
squarely on the floor.
Some air purifier needs
to be placed in the middle of the room. If this is a problem, look for air
purifiers that comes with 360-degree filtration system that can be placed 6
inches to a foot from the wall.
Other models can be
placed near the wall, or right up against the wall, without a problem.
Here are few tips you
need to remember when searching for a air purifier for your home.
- Search for an air purifier with a "sealed system," which will keep the air and dirty air separate.
- Keep air purifier running 24 hours a day, on it is highest setting (it could get quite noisy though).
- Turn the machine all the way up when you're not inside your room, and turn it down to its lowest or medium settings when you're inside.
- Before buying the air purifier, make sure to check for its warranty, types of filters used in the system, and how often they need to be replaced and cleaned.
- It is highly recommended that you purchase an extra filter at the same time you purchase your air purifier so that when one stops working, you will have a back up and there will not be any breaks in air filtration in your room.
- Note down the expiry date of the filter and keep it visible in a place you can see daily (on the wall of your room, for example) so that you know the what to do when the times comes.
