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.

Many children suffer from allergies or asthma. Giving your child an air filter can be an excellent idea. When your child has an air filter in their room, you’ll know that they are breathing just a bit easier. An air filter removes irritants like pollen and dust from the air. Isn’t it wonderful knowing you can provide your allergic child with cleaner air to breathe?
Adding an air filter to their room can help them to sleep deeper and easier. How often are parents frustrated with children who just won’t sleep? Whether it seems they wont settle down or just aren’t ready to go to bed, it can be hard to get them to go to sleep. And any parent can have great sympathy for an allergic child. But what a change when you add an air filter to your allergic child’s room. The allergic child is suddenly breathing cleaner air and can breathe much better. This means it is easier for them to take deep breaths that lead to gentle and restful sleep. Their sleep is also deeper and more restorative. So you’ll have the experience of them waking up in the middle of the night less often. What a pleasure it is to have your allergic child to sleep through the night!
Every allergic child it seems catches colds or bronchitis easily. This can be so frustrating to watch and experience. No one likes to watch their child suffer. But adding an air filter can often mean that your child suffers for less time. When your child breaths air that is filtered, it can remove germs from the air. If they have a cold or bronchitis, it seems that they recover quicker. If you have a family member who is sick then the chances of that allergic child of getting sick are less likely.
Many children with asthma find they are bothered by things like cigarette or perfume that a child can’t control. With an air filter, you are more prepared for out of town guests that could be staying in your home. These odors often trickle through the house and while you can always ask someone to put out a cigarette or not to put on perfume, someone who is a smoker or often wears perfume will carry these odors with them. Your child will be more comfortable and feel less allergic with their own air filter. An excellent idea if you have a regular family member or friend like this is to consider getting an air filter for the guest room to help clear that air too. That will make your child even more comfortable, as it clears the guest’s air also. You can consider getting an air filter for the family room or living room too. These are excellent choices for company and are smart moves when you have company and a child with allergies or asthma.
An air filter is not a magic bullet. The parent and child still need to manage a child’s allergies and asthma well. But an air filter can remove a great deal of the child’s suffering. This can make them feel better. Whether during the day playing with their toys or at nighttime and trying to sleep, the air filter is working. Best of all, the air filter is peaceful and quiet making very little noise. So it isn’t a noisy machine that will keep your child up with a lot of fuss. A child simply won’t notice the air filter very much, except that they feel better. Isn’t that great?
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.

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.

If you have allergies or asthma your doctor or friends may have suggested you consider getting a HEPA air purifier (HEPA air filter). Perhaps you have friends and family with allergies that just love their HEPAs and now you are wondering how one can help you. Or your doctor has suggested one and you are questioning if it will really make a difference. Well hundreds of thousands of allergy and asthma sufferers each year turn to HEPA air filters to help them. This can be an ideal solution for many. Let’s talk about a couple of ways to tell if a HEPA air filter is for you:

Even on allergy and asthma medication I still suffer from my allergies/asthma. This is an important thing to notice. If your doctor has put you on medication and you still suffer, adding a HEPA air filter can be an excellent next step. Sometimes the quality of air you are breathing can be the issue. Now you CAN improve the quality of the air you breathe simply by vacuuming and dusting regularly (like 1 to 2x a week) but this is often because with today’s vacuums they already have a HEPA filter and you are cleaning that dust and then breathing very clean air. Adding a HEPA air filter on top of this cleaning routine will clean the air your breathe overall.
I have pets in my home and suffer from allergies. This is another thing to consider. Often our pets do things outdoors like roll in fall leaves, sleep on a bed of flowers or run through a pile of branches – all great sources of sneeze and itchy creating pollen! We know we can’t control what our pets do. But adding a HEPA air filter can often help to purify the air as they come into the house bearing pollen as they do. Brushing out your pets’ fur when they come home can also be very helpful.
I have year-round allergies. This is something you can’t ignore. If your allergies aren’t just seasonal you’ve got to combat them all the time. A HEPA filter can work wonders for the year-round allergy sufferer. Likely you suffer from a combination of both indoor and outdoor allergies, making your vulnerable to allergies wherever you go. With a HEPA filter you are especially purifying your home which will help you breathe clean air at home. This helps your lungs feel clean and strong. It will aid you as you go out into the world and run into allergy sources as you go.
More than one family member suffers from allergies. Now if it isn’t just you who has allergies, a HEPA air filter is a top solution to consider. It wont be just you who benefits but also a parent, child or spouse who feels better as you add the HEPA air filter to your lives. If both of you are allergic to the same things this can sometimes be a sign that you are suffering from poor air quality at home. This isn’t necessarily the sign of poor house cleaning – a lack of vacuuming – sometimes your house is vulnerable to mold or other challenges that you simply can’t control. With the HEPA air filter you keep these allergy sources at bay and everyone can breathe easier.
There are many reasons to choose a HEPA air filter. Quite often after you’ve had it for a week or so you notice that you aren’t as stuffy, your breathing is fuller. Or sometimes you notice that you don’t have the same sleeping complaints. You are sleeping completely through the night or with very deep and sound sleep. That’s the magic of a HEPA filter!
To your good health!
