The Relaxing Home
Spending time at home should be relaxing. This can be difficult when the air is stale and difficult to breathe. An air purifier cleans the musty smells from the air and improves breathing.
Mold
Mold is a fungus requiring food, warmth and moisture for growth. Tiny spores float through the air indoors. This accumulates in the basement, kitchen and bathroom due to the moisture. Mold can cause dizziness, fatigue, allergies and headaches. The filter in an air purifier will trap the mold and improve air quality.
Cigarette Smoke
Cigarette smoke contaminates the air with pollution, smoke particles and unappealing odors. Smoke is extremely difficult to remove because cigarettes contain toxins that stick to the carpets, walls and furniture. Second hand smoke can be very harmful to people with asthma or allergies because it can impair their breathing. Cigarette smoke is also bad for children. Even isolating any smoking to just one room may not prevent the odor throughout the rest of the home. The best solution is to use an air purifier in the home. This will get rid of the smoke particles in the air and help freshen the home. If smoking is contained to one room running an air purifier constantly offers an amazing improvement.
Allergies
Airborne particles such as dirt, dust and pollen are so small most people are unaware they are present in their homes. These particles can easily irritate allergy sufferers, cause coughing, sneezing, itchy skin and eyes, make the nose run and leave dark circles beneath the eyes. An air purifier removes airborne particles drifting through the air quickly. The particles are unable to reenter the room providing allergy sufferers with relief. Allergens near the front door can be caught by placing an air purifier close to the door. When there are no particles in the air the difference is refreshing.
Pets
Most people with cats or dogs use a vacuum cleaner a lot. Approximately ten percent of all allergies in the United States are caused by dogs and cats. Some of these allergies are a result of the pet hair. Many others are caused by pet dander including urine, skin glands and saliva. This will stick to the carpeting and furniture. The dander is so small it cannot be seen by the naked eye. This dander floats through the air in the home and triggers allergies. An air purifier with a HEPA filter will capture nearly all the pet dander. Any odors will be removed by the carbon activated filters.
Asthma
Many physicians will recommend an air purifier to any individual with asthma. The individuals breathing is improved due to the better quality of air in the home. Asthma is triggered by particle allergens floating in the air. It becomes more difficult to breathe because the airflow constricts. An air purifier will remove these contaminants from the air. This provides relief because many of the triggers have been eliminated. This helps prevent the lungs from becoming irritated and asthma symptoms should subside.
