Have you been Naughty or Nice this year? It’s time to ask Santa what you want for Christmas and don’t you want to ask for what you really, really want? Ask Santa for the gift of wellness: an air purifier. With your air filter you’ll sleep sounder, breathe easier and enjoy the gift of wellness each and every day.

The holidays are a perfect time to ask for an air purifier. So many come down with colds or flu during this wintertime season. Your air filter can help you to feel more comfortable if you do come down with a sniffle or a bug. It may also help you to avoid catching something too. Air filters help you breathe a higher quality air, they get rid of dust, mold and other contaminants. Getting rid of these contaminants can help you to breathe easier and to not catch that bug that is going around in your family or the one you know is going around the office.

An air filter can make for a great surprise gift – especially for the person whose wanted one all year. It comes in a large box, ideal for guessing and wondering what is in the box. Some gift givers may want to give little clues about what is in the box, to get the gift recipient curious about the surprise gift. The air filter is such a fun gift for so many.

One of the best things about asking for an air purifier at the holidays is that your entire family or office can go in on this as a group gift. The air filter makes a great group gift from the family or office for that loved one concerned about wellness. It is a luxury gift that is both practical and very convenient. What other gift could Santa send that you would use and appreciate every day? While not everyone has an air filter, it is easy to see why everyone would want one. Your air filter can offer you comfort and soothing relief.

We don’t think you have to drop lots of hints to get the air filter of your dreams. Try leaving a catalog page folded down or email a website page to someone you know. Most people who are giving a gift will readily admit they do want to know what the person hopes to receive. Buying gifts can be so difficult and we all hope to get our loved ones gifts they will enjoy. An air filter is the perfect gift that everyone will appreciate.

“Trick or Treat!” is one of our favorite sayings at Halloween time. Children love saying it when they demand candy at the door. The possibility that they would do some type of silly trick if they don’t get candy – makes the evening seem even more silly. Having the children be in charge instead of the adults. But with your air filter you don’t want to play “Trick or Treat,” wondering if it is going to work or not. Here are a few helpful tips to keep that air filter always a real treat to have, especially during the fall allergy season.

Have extra air filters on hand. This is one of our most important tips and we’ve given it before. We’re giving it again, it’s that critical for you to know. You always want to have a clean, fresh air filter ready to put into your air purifier machine. You don’t want to be put in the situation of running out of air filters when you are suffering from allergies or asthma. Who needs to be uncomfortable when your air filter can be so helpful, especially during the fall allergy season? Having those extra air filters on hand can really make a big difference.

Don’t stack things on top of your air filter. We know it is so easy for you to stack or drape things on top of things in any room. That stationary bicycle becomes the perfect place to drape the next morning’s outfit. The top of the television is the best place to put your library books to return tomorrow. Before you know it, you’ve got all kinds of stacks all over the place! The one place you really don’t want to stack is your air filter. This is a hardworking and sensitive machine. Don’t get in its way while it is trying to do its job for you. Treat your air filter with respect and it will always work hard for you. Treat it like a towel rack and the towel may get in the way of the air filter’s job. You always want your air filter to be able to give you its best performance, not to be trying to do two things at once.

Keep the air filter in a convenient place. One of the best places you can keep your air filter? Where it isn’t going to get in your way. For each of us that’s a different place. Some of us that may be a corner of the room. For some that may be right next to your closet. Whatever your choice you want to be sure it is away enough from the wall to work and not too close to other furniture so it has a clear path to clean the air. Look around your room for that free spot or where you can move furniture to find that clear spot for it. You’ll find a good place for it.

I have a confession to make: I didn’t follow my own advice. You may remember from previous blogs that I’ll encourage you to order your air filter refills ahead of time – so you aren’t without your home air purifier.

Well I got busy and simply forgot to order my air filter refill! And by the time I realized I needed a refill, the current air filter was finished. So I decided to take the days it would take for my air filter to come as an opportunity: what would life be like without my air filter?

I think one of the biggest things I noticed was my sleep. I had more trouble settling down and going to sleep without the air filter. When I woke up, I also seemed less rested.

The other thing I noticed – and I’ve never seen any other research to back this up – was that my air-conditioned room seemed less cool. Somehow, when the air filter and the air conditioning were running together, I could put the air conditioner on “low” and the room would be frosty cold. But without the air filter, often I’d need to crank it up to “high” to get that same effect. With my air filter there have been times – even in these very hot NorthEast summer days (90 plus degree heat and humidity) where I had turned my air conditioner off and just let the air filter run on its own. Again, I’ve seen no other research mentioned on that. But I thought it was a very interesting thing to notice.

The air in my room seemed “okay” but lost a lot of the crispness I was used to. Things like cooking smells from the kitchen would waft into my room. Not unpleasant smells, just things that the air filter normally would filter out.

When my new air filter refill came, I happily popped it into my unit and turned it on. I was somewhat relieved this “experiment” was over – as I already knew what I’d assumed: life with your air filter is far more pleasant. I sleep deeper and feel more comfortable.

And you’ll be relieved to know I did follow my own advice and ordered two air filter refills at the same time. So I’ve got a backup waiting for me. No more “experiments” for me!

You don’t need to run this experiment to know that an air filter gives you great benefits. And don’t put yourself in the position where you’ve run out of air filters and you have to go without. Order two or three air filters at once – you’ll also save on shipping and handling costs! It’s a great convenience knowing you’ve got your air filter refills waiting for you, ready to use. This past week has been an experience I wouldn’t want to repeat any time soon.

Try these helpful tips to keep you from experimenting:

Ordering an air filter machine for the first time? Order two air filter refills at the same time. You’ll likely be replacing the air filter every three months or so, depending on use. Your machine should come with one air filter refill – and those two air filters will get you through most of the coming year.

Need an air filter refill? Order several at a time. We suggest ordering two to four at a time. You’ll save on shipping and handling. Four air filter refills and you’ll have enough air filter refills to get through the coming year (depending on usage). Keep them in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.

Write down your air filter machine number and the air filter refill number in your address book and other convenient locations. This way you’re always ready to reorder quickly. Many put off reordering because they just don’t have this information at their fingertips. Get organized and you’ll be glad you’ve got it exactly where you need it!
