Many people are quite familiar with April Fool’s Day. That popular day dedicated to pranksters. Lots of people like to poke gentle fun at the folks in their life on April 1st saying, “April Fools” and doing a funny prank to make them laugh.
Well it’s no prank to run out of air filters during spring allergy season. There’s nothing like suffering from your spring allergies and knowing you need a refill for your air filter. Don’t be the April Fool and let your air filter run out, causing you to suffer while waiting for your refill to arrive. This challenge is easier to avoid than one might think. Let’s talk about some tips to avoid being the April Fool:
Order a refill now for your air filter. Yes you may not need an air filter now, but having an air filter available right at your fingertips when you do need it is a great convenience. During springtime allergy season, your air filter works harder than usual. You must expect that air filter refill to fill up quicker than during other times. It’s the savvy allergy sufferer who prepares and plans for allergy season in the springtime.
Don’t be shy about paying for rush shipping. Most of us like to avoid these expenses when we order products that we need. But when it comes to a refill for your air filter, you probably really want to get that quickly. Spending a week or even three days suffering from allergy symptoms and being uncomfortable as you aren’t able to use your air filter simply isn’t worth it. Having that air filter on hand by choosing rush shipping is the savvier choice for most. If you haven’t ordered ahead – consider ordering quickly.
When you do order refills for your air filter, don’t just order one but order two or three. Some choose to order them one at a time because of course we use them one at a time. But if you keep a few on stock at all times this will mean that you are ready the moment you need an air filter refill. It also means the next time you order air filter refills will be far less stressful, that you can do it at a time that is convenient to you. Order them as your air filter is working well for you. Instead of ordering it when your air filter refill has been completely used and you need another one immediately.
Save on shipping and order with a friend. Try to order air filter refills with a friend so you can save on shipping costs. You probably have friends and family who use air filters just like you do. If you order air filter refills at the same time, your shipping costs can be split down the middle instead of paying shipping costs for the two of you.
So don’t be an April Fool and suffer through springtime allergy season with no air filter refill. Plan ahead if you can – or plan ahead for the next time!

It’s summertime – are you and your air filter ready? Summer is likely the hottest and most humid time of year you’ll ever see. For many with allergies and asthma, this is a very uncomfortable time. You want your air filter up and running and working at its full capacity. While springtime is the season, we think of for pollen – summer is still a stressful season for those with allergies and asthma. Aren’t you glad you have an air filter?
Try our summer tips for success to keep your air filter working great all summer long. Why before you know it, Labor Day will be here and you’ll be wondering where the summer has gone! Enjoy these great days of summer and we wish you easy breathing!
Give your air filter an easy job. Remember to vacuum your home regularly to pick up dust, pollen and pet hair. Once or twice a week is often ideal (check with your allergist or doctor for a more personalized suggestion for your condition). When your home is not vacuumed regularly, your air filter works extra hard, trying to pull all of those contaminants into it – so you are making it do far more work than it truly is cut out for!
Remember the space your air filter is able to clean. Every air filter is designed to clean a specific measurement. This information is in your instructions and sometimes on the box. During bad allergies, it can be tempting to move your air filter to different rooms to get relief, but sometimes you are frustrated as you don’t see quick results or the results you expect – this can be because your air filter is not designed to clean that large a space. Be fair to your air filter as it is working as hard as it was designed.
Stock up on extra air filters ahead of time. The worst time to realize you need a new filter is when your air filter is dirty. Then you often have to wait for one to be shipped out to – even with rush shipping this can take a few days and for an allergy sufferer that can be a long time. Don’t suffer, plan ahead. Order several air filters at once and keep them in your linen closet or other supply closet easy within reach. During bad allergy season, you may want to change air filters more often depending on usage.
Let guests know how the air filter works. Summer is often a time when we have family and friends staying with us. If you have loved ones staying with you, take the time to show them how the air filter works. They may be curious about the air filter and letting them know how it works will avoid them pressing the wrong button, or turning it off in an attempt to “help” you by saving energy. Not everyone realizes that your air filter should run all the time. Guests should know not to leave items on the air filter and not to drape things (like clothing or towels) in front of the air filter as it works.

Spring is in the air! If you’re an allergy sufferer, we actually don’t have to tell you. Those visits to the allergist or your antihistamine is certainly message enough! It’s certainly the perfect time to be using your air filter round the clock to get the most use out of it during this pollen filled season and to live comfortably. Try our helpful tips to get the most out of your air filter for Spring allergy season.
Replace the air filter for the spring allergy season. If your house is anything like my house – you may neglect this little chore until the air filter is quite full of dust. That’s because your air filter does such a good job, you actually don’t notice until the air filter is just begging for your help! Be good to your air filter and replace the filter early and your air filter will perform far better. Best of all, you’ll be much more comfortable during the spring allergy season. If you have to order your air filter online, consider choosing rush shipping. An indulgence at any other time of year, this rush shipping could save you weeks or days of suffering during the spring allergy season. We all know that a peak performing air filter can mean deeper sleep, better breathing and just overall improved functioning for everyone who enjoys its benefits.
Vacuum and dust your home twice as often during spring allergy season. Now no one is going to criticize your housekeeping. The suggestion to vacuum and dust twice as often is an excellent one to offer you additional relief from pollen, dust and other irritants that get trapped in your rugs, floors and other places especially in high-traffic areas. Remember that every time you come in and out of your home is an ideal time for pollen to enter. Each time your pet goes inside and outside, pollen often is carried in on their coat. While you may not see the pollen each time, this pollen can cause you trouble. By removing as much as possible you are helping your air filter to work even better. You are removing the larger pollen, dust and other irritants so your air filter can work on what is unseen and still affects you deeply. This means your air filter can focus on doing its job instead of trying to absorb so much pollen it feels like it is doing the work of two or three air filters!
Check your air filter regularly to make sure it does not need to be changed. During springtime’s pollen filled season, your air filter may need to be changed far quicker than at another time. By checking the air filter you’ll be prepared ahead of time instead of surprised when the air filter does need to be changed. This is very helpful to your family and loved ones. It is ideal that you try to check your air filter once a week or every other week. Just look at it and see how much dirt or pollen you see absorbed on the filter. This can tell you often if you need a different filter. In some areas you’ll see a great deal of pollen or other allergens during springtime. Taking the time to do this can cause you to avoid needless suffering and make springtime much easier for you and your family.
