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.
