Installing an air purifier in your home is about so much more than just simply removing dust. The air that we breathe is often contaminated with dust, pollen, gas, chemicals and other such particles. And honestly, dust is much more than just what meets the eye. 

Any person suffering from air-borne allergies, or living with a smoker, or even living around a chemical-intensive commercial area will definitely be able to notice major improvements in air quality after getting a residential air purifier. It is hands down the perfect solution when someone in your family wants a pet cat, but other family members get asthma from animal dander. 

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition resulting from an allergic reaction that may be relieved by a home purifier. As the polluted air flows into an air purifier, the contaminants are efficiently eliminated. And when the fresh, clean air flows out, it is able to transform your home, your lungs, your health and your life as a whole!

Knowing the right air purifier for your home is quite great, but only choosing the right unit is not enough. The best air purifier chosen by you for your home also needs to be used properly in order for it to work at its best. 

Here are some top tips to use your home air purifier correctly:

 

  • Choose the right location 

 

All air purifiers need considerable amount of breathing space, so make sure yours also has a few feet of clear space around the top and all four sides for unobstructed air circulation. Moreover, purifiers come in a wide variety of sizes so make sure you get the right size purifier for the room you want to put it in. 

 

  • Point the flow in the right direction 

 

If the room you want to place it in is large, you should make sure the flow of clean air from your purifier is directed nearby, where you will be able to get the most benefit. If the room is smaller, this tip is not that important because all the purified air will circulate throughout the room. 

 

  • Do not turn it off 

 

This is the most important instruction for homes with smokers and for the people with health conditions such as allergies, asthma and other such respiratory illnesses. The air purifiers today are energy-efficient, so you can leave it on. Just like house cleaning, keeping the air of your home clean is much easier than neglecting it and having to clean it all at once. 

 

  • Keep doors and windows closed

 

An air purifier is not capable of cleaning the whole outdoors. Just like cooling with air conditioning, it is always better to keep the air in your home clean by simply limiting the introduction of outside air and its pollution. Additionally, sealing any leaky windows or doors will also stop your purified air from escaping!
