Whether you have a grade school student or a fully-grown college student – an air filter is an ideal purchase to add to their back to school list. The student with an air filter will receive many benefits that will not only help them with school – but with their overall life.
Many parents find it frustrating to have a child with allergies or asthma. This child seems to get sick far easier than other children – and getting over illnesses seems harder than other children. Having an air filter can help them feel more comfortable and in some cases can help to prevent illness. Many air filters remove airborne bacteria from the air. Many of them also remove mold, dust and pollen from the air – some of the most popular allergens that trigger allergy and asthma attacks.
For the older child an air filter machine can encourage self-care but also make this a bit easier. This is especially true if you are sending them away to college or boarding school. The air filter may serve as a silent reminder to other students not to smoke in this students room, even if your child does not tell them this repeatedly. Students living so close to each other are likely to catch each other’s colds and other illnesses easily. Having an air filter can help to cut down on this a bit.
A great benefit of an air filter for any student is that it will encourage deep and restful sleep at any age. Many who suffer from allergies or asthma have trouble sleeping due to congestion or allergy troubles. Sometimes simply getting a good night’s sleep can make a great difference in how you feel. It can also boost your immune system and help to prevent catching other illnesses.
The “back to school” season is upon us and many parents and students are buying laptops, cell phones, books and school supplies. For any child – but especially the allergic or asthmatic child – remember to put an air filter on their back to school list! You and your family will be so pleased at the great difference it makes for them in every way.

Try our helpful tips to help your child use their air cleaner purifiers easily:
Teach your child how to use and respect their air filter. An air filter is not a toy and should be treated gently and carefully for best use. Young children can be taught how to turn it off and on for their own safety. Older children can be shown how to turn the air filter machine to higher or lower settings.
Tell your child what not to do with their air filter. For example, it is unwise to move an air filter while it is plugged in and operating (turned on). Unplug the air filter and turn it off to move it. Children should also know not to put items draped over their air filter or on the air filter. Leaving cans of soda or schoolbooks on the air filter do not help it to operate to its best abilities.
If your child is young, explain to them that you will manage their air filter and they should come see you about the machine. That they should not touch it. An older child may be able to understand how to turn on and off their air filter and enjoy participating in this way.

Looking out the window I see the tiny green leaves of my daffodils peeping through. A happy sign of spring I’ve been looking forward to, especially with all of this snow. But if you have asthma or allergies, spring is a season we must always prepare for. It’s the season when we allergy and asthma sufferers face weeks of pollen. Are you ready for spring?
Your air filter purifier can be a big help to you during spring allergy season, but you’ve got to help it help you. Not being prepared for spring allergy season will only overwork your already hardworking air filter machine. Your air filter machine is prepared to work hard for you – but expecting it to do more than its fair share simply isn’t practical planning. Now is the time to do some easy spring cleaning and get ready for the coming spring season.
If you suffer from pollen allergies or asthma then you know that pollen can be tracked into the house. So it is not just the pollen outdoors, it is the pollen that can come indoors. Take the time now to be sure your vacuum cleaner is in top notch working order. Get extra vacuum cleaner bags if your model uses them. And now is the perfect time for a top to bottom thorough vacuuming. Take the time to vacuum every room in your home, to remove excess dust or any potential allergens. You want to be ready for the coming pollen.
Check your air filter machine and be sure it is working properly. Can you use all of the different speeds and settings? Now is also the time to order extra air filters, before spring allergy season is upon us. Don’t be shy about spending a few dollars for rush shipping. Better to spend five or ten dollars more to have the air filter when you need them, than to suffer needlessly for a week or more while waiting for your new air filter to arrive.
While spring is warmer, many of us wear a light jacket or sweater during the season. To keep the pollen down, wash your coat and/or sweater regularly. Pollen will fall on you and your clothing. If you are wearing something regularly, pollen will stick around and fall in your home, causing you further aggravation.
Finally consider getting a second air filter purifier machine to make spring much more comfortable. Most of us find spring comfortable with our air filter machines but imagine if you had another air filter machine for the living room, den, home office or other room you use regularly? You’d probably enjoy your home even more.
The BioGS SPA-421A Ultra Quiet HEPA Air Purifier by RabbitAir is a good choice.

As the holiday season will soon be here, now is the time to think about planning and preparation. You are probably having family or friends to visit for the holidays. It is a fun and enjoyable time to have friends and family visit – but are you truly a gracious host? One of the best things you can provide your friends and family with is a HEPA air filter purifier for your guest room.
If you already enjoy an air filter, you know how well it works and exactly why you like having it. Having your air filter can help keep allergens at bay, ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers. It can also purify the air, letting adults and children sleep sounder and wake refreshed and relaxed. An air filter can remove cigarette smoke, pet dander, cooking smells and so many other things you simply don’t want in your lungs. Once you have an air filter, you truly don’t want to do without.
That’s exactly why a good host provides an air filter for their guests. They know the ease and comfort an air filter gives during the day and night. Not only for allergy and asthma sufferers – but for everyone. An air filter is easy to use, simply show them how to turn it on, off or higher and lower and they’ll know how to operate it. Remind them not to place things on top of the air filter like a soda can or clothing.
One of the best things about providing an air filter in the guest room is knowing that your family and friends will get deep and restful sleep. If they have never experienced using an air filter before, this may be a bit surprising to them. This will be a great treat for them to enjoy a natural and restorative evening breathing purified air. It may even encourage them to get air filters for their home, knowing they’ll always sleep that way. For the allergy or asthma sufferer, they will be especially touched you have an air filter as this means they can breathe easier staying with you. But even for someone without allergies or asthma, an air filter can be a great comfort.
You already know that an air filter is not a luxury, it is a necessity. You use your air filter every day and it brings comfort and great ease to your life. So it would make sense that you would want your guests to enjoy that very same comfort and ease. Giving them this experience in your home is truly being a good host in every sense of the word. The good host always wants their guests to be at home in their home and to feel comfortable during their stay.
The only challenge when you provide an air filter to guests? They may feel so comfortable, they won’t want to leave! But if they are your family and friends, you’ll always be glad to have them stay awhile.
