Why should we bother with air purifiers? Many people are very good housekeepers and
yet we hear and read about how the home environment in such bad
conditions. So how can it be dirty and
yet you spend time daily cleaning? One
of the problems is today’s homes are such tight specifications what gets in can
not get out. They are more energy
efficient than 20 years ago but that also increases home pollution. You’re conserving energy but you’re polluting
your home. Your strict cleaning routine may
make the use of an air purifier even more important. This is because of the cleaning solutions and
chemicals that you are using.
Here are some other reasons that your home may be polluted
without an air purifier. The family pet
is a very big source of home pollution since pet dander contains
allergens. Having an air purifier in the
rooms that the pets stay is very beneficial.
If you allow them in your bedroom run an air purifier constantly and
wash your bedding daily if possible.
Vacuum several times a week and run your air purifier on high for
several minutes after you get finished with the vacuum.
Forced air furnaces are also a culprit as they
re-circulate dirt, often containing allergens from pet dander and other
airborne pollutants. Changing the filters of whole house filters in the spring
and fall is a must, and it is even better if you add electrostatic filters to
them.
Continuous room fresheners are another source of home
pollutants that an air purifier would be able to assist you with removing.
Tobacco is another very common pollutant that also has
some severe health risks. If at all
possible smokers should go outside. At
the very least they should smoke in non key areas of the home.
Outside pollutants the have entered such as industrial discharged
particles, gases, and other odor associated with industry. These pollutants have entered and have no way
to escape so you are breathing them with each and every breath.
The type of home air purifiers that you use depends on which kinds of home pollutants you’re most worried about. Different air purifiers work on different types of pollutants. Some are better with removing air borne particles and others are better as absorbing odors, cleaning chemical smell and gases. Some of your high end air purifiers will do a equally good job with all types of indoor pollutants
Home air purifiers (particularly those with HEPA
technology and activated carbon) can be of great assistance. By placing a high quality unit in your
bedrooms and main living areas, your home will be as clean as it looks. It will also be healthier since the air
purifiers have taken the majority of allergens out of the air you are
breathing.
