With spring here, many allergy sufferers are facing that big bad ol’ pollen and dealing with the side effects. If you have an air filter, you know that they can make you feel so much more comfortable and improve your quality of life. Your family can enjoy a higher quality of air, better breathing and deeper sleep – often right from the very start when you use an air filter. There are a number of places to consider using an air filter you might not be using one that are ideal to add to your life – especially if you suffer from allergies and asthma.

Baby or Child’s Room. Many children do inherit their parent’s allergies or asthma. You can make your children far more comfortable as they age with the addition of an air filter. Most air filters will remove important irritants like second hand smoke – things you don’t want in your child’s lungs. If you’ve moved into a new home or an apartment, adding an air purifier in their room can be an ideal choice especially to help clean the air right from the very start. Children may not notice any great difference, but their parents can often notice that they are sleeping through the night, that they have less bronchial infections and that they don’t seem to catch “bugs” as often. When you have a better quality of air, you simply feel better.

The Office. This is another excellent place to add an air filter. Now I have a confession to make: I added an air filter when my boss built me my own office and I needed to get rid of the dust and paint fumes. At first they noticed the box on the floor. But it was a quiet box on the floor. And I noticed that my energy level was higher, focus was stronger and I felt more energized but also a bit more relaxed. Why? Because I was breathing better. The air filter cleaned my office from dust within a long weekend, a great convenience. But I kept that air filter in my office the entire time I worked for them. An air filter in your office can offer a lot of benefits and take up minimal space.

Family Room. The family room is often one of the main rooms the family spends time. Yet when we buy air filters we often place them in our bedrooms. If you are spending a lot of time in the family room, an air filter for this room is an excellent choice. Your family will feel more energized and will breathe better overall. You’ll notice that you are less affected by seasonal allergies, mold or pet hair.  Whether watching television, playing a board game or just “being family” together – everyone will appreciate the subtle difference.

Guest Room. This is an ideal place to add an air filter as you entertain your guests will be quite comfortable breathing high quality air. They may compliment you on how well they sleep, at first thinking they are just very relaxed in your home or that you cooked them a delicious home cooked meal to soothe them to sleep. But you’ll know that the real difference is the air filter beside their bed. Best of all as the air filter is quite and easy to use, your guest will have no trouble using the air filter. If they wish to change the setting to low or high they can do this easily. The air filter is simple and convenient for everyone to use. Putting one in your guest room makes you the ideal host, one where guests will look forward to returning time and time again.

Summer is one of the most popular times to go on vacation. And whether you are spending a week at the shore or in a cabin by the mountains, we bet you’d like to take your air filter with you! It’s easy to take your air filter with you on summer vacation and a great way to keep your breathing comfortable and easy.

One of the biggest challenges of going to any new environment for an allergy or asthma sufferer if you wonder if something is going to trigger your allergies. Whether it is too much dust, a little mold in the air or someone’s pet that was staying there – a potential allergen could be lurking to bother you. Certainly not something any of us like to deal with on summer vacation.

If you are renting a house for vacation, it is very easy to bring your air purifier filter. Consider asking the people you are renting from if you can plug in your air filter. Air filters don’t use a lot of electricity so they likely won’t have any reason to say no to your request. Simply add it to your supplies when you pack the car. Remember to bring an extra air filter in case you wish to change it. Protect your air filter during travel by wrapping it securely, either in a box or surrounding it with towels or other protective padding.

If you are staying in a hotel or other location, you may want to ask if you can bring it. Some locations may be curious if you appear, ready to plug something in. But if you have gotten permission ahead of time to bring it, then it will be smooth sailing the whole way. It is far easier to ask ahead than it is to stand at check in and ask someone to consider your request.

If you are staying in someone’s home, you can probably bring your air filter. Ask them ahead of time. You are doing your host a kindness by bringing your air filter as an allergy or asthma sufferer because it means you will be more comfortable – and most hosts worry about their guests comfort. Ask them where you should plug it in.

Today’s air filters are comfortable and convenient. You can count on them to clean a large room and to be powerful and strong. They are not troublesome to carry with you on a vacation. While most of us don’t like to think of carrying our air filter everywhere, the thought of living without our air filters once we have one is often unimaginable.

The first time I brought my air filter on vacation my family fussed a little bit. One family member thought I was being a little particular by bringing it with me. But I knew that I would sleep so much better by having it with me. And I was glad that I did. We stayed in a cottage by the shore, with a bit of a mold problem. While everyone else was okay and just complained about the smell – I am allergic to mold. Without that air filter, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my vacation fully. With my antihistamine and the air filter, I could stay on vacation and spend time with my family.

No matter where you go, enjoy your vacation and we hope that you breathe a little easier with your air filter by your side.

With spring allergy season here, many allergy and asthma sufferers may be thinking about getting an air filter purifier for the first time. If you are thinking about getting an air filter, you’ll be pleased to know that these machines are quieter, more convenient and even more powerful than ever. Best of all you’ll enjoy better breathing, a higher quality of air, improved vitality, sounder sleep, stronger focus and deeper relaxation during the day. Yes, an air filter has many benefits. But buying one may seem kind of overwhelming to some. There are so many to choose from. And they do so many different things. How do you pick the right one? Let’s talk about some things you should know before you go shopping for that first air filter.

Air filters work by cleaning the air in a location rapidly a certain number of times every hour. Now different machines will give you a different number – but often the number is high (like 10 times an hour) as these machines work quickly. The key to remember always with an air filter is that they will only clean a certain space according to width and length. That they just can’t clean any size of a location. So you need to get the air filter machine ideal for the space you need it for. You don’t need to get a “bigger” machine for the area you want, thinking it will do a better job. Air filters today are quite strong and the machine suited for your specific area will work perfectly. Simply measure the room or area and use these measurement as you go shopping. If you don’t have a tape measure. Walk the room with average steps and most of your steps are about a foot in length for a 6 foot or shorter person. if you are taller, consider your steps to be larger and adjust the measurements.

Some air filters purify some irritants and other do not. This confuses shoppers as some think that an air filter is an air filter. But there are quite a number of different machines available today. Some air filters will remove pollen from the air. Others will remove mold spores and dust. Some can remove bacteria. Others can remove smoke (like cigarette smoke). Check the label or box to see exactly what this machine does and if it meets your needs. Each person has certain desires for their air filter. The person allergic to cats may want it to remove pet dander and not be concerned with other needs. Someone whose mother in law smokes and visits occasionally may want it to remove smoke. Or someone with severe allergies may want it to do everything. Again, you want to find the air filter machine that meets your needs. The best way to do this is to read the label.

Your air filter machine is going to work best when you follow the instructions. This sounds very simple but you’d be surprised at the folks who just ignore this. If your air filter’s instructions say to replace the air filter every three months, then follow this guideline. It is there to assist you with your allergy or asthma. If your air filter machine has certain suggestions about where to put it, then follow these guidelines. Some air filters will say not to put anything on top of them. Your air filter is a busy machine, working at purifying the air. It does not need to be a place you keep a potted plant or your library books. Let your air filter do its job and it will do its job quite well for you. The more you follow the instructions, the better a job it will do for you.
