Cat Odor Air Cleaner---5 Purifier Features That Will Eliminate The Smell

Cat odor, especially urine, can range from distracting to eye-watering. And even though there are a number of steps you can take to deal with inappropriate elimination after it happens, you are still vulnerable until you can find the sport and neutralize it. An air purifier with the right features can eliminate the odor continuously. Here are 5 features an effective cleaner must have.

Enhanced Carbon Zeolite---Elimination of odor is best handled by carbon. It can eliminate normal household odors as well. But to get rid of urine odor even it needs help.

Cat urine is particularly strong. This is because before we brought them into our homes and hearts, in the wild the strong smell would help keep predators at a distance by marking their territory.

With that said, it's hard to believe that urine is made of mostly water, but one of the chemicals in urine is ammonia, and an additive to the carbon is necessary to enhance its ability to remove this powerful volatile organic chemical (VOC).

Ammonasorb has been found to be incredibly effective. As its name suggests it helps absorb the ammonia which is one of the biggest parts of the odor.

A Motor That Can Run Continuously---This is such an important feature to have. The moment filtration stops, the ammonia levels increase. And even if you believe you've neutralized all the mistakes, a rise in humidity can cause spots to smell again.

The split capacitor motor is the type of motor that can run continuously. Look for it online in the technical specifications or in the owner's manual. This will assure that the motor can run safely and effectively 24 hours a day, so that regardless of what is happening when you are there or while you are away, the unit has your back.

Effective filtration means scrubbing the air and it is not an instant process. And once the ammonia has become noticeable, it will take a while for it to be filtered out again. Continuously sending the air through the filter will take out the smell before it can become offensive.

Long Filter Life---The length of time that the manufacturer projects that the filter will last should be crucial in your decision about whether a unit is going to work for you. A filter that must be changed every 6 to 12 months will increase the cost of filtration substantially.

The pressure of having to constantly change the filter is aggravating at best, and in many cases not doing it will result in air that doesn't get cleaned and a negated warranty. Many times a unit with a filter that has a shorter filter life is cheaper initially. Ultimately it's more expensive.

You should expect the filter in your cleaner to last 5 years because the canister contains multiple filters and because the manufacturer is willing to stand behind fiter effectiveness by warranting the filter as well.. Check to make sure this feature is included before you make a fna.

Low Maintenance---A cleaner for cat odor should be able to do the job without a lot of attention. Leave cleaners that require you to stop filtration to go inside and wash, spray, or vacuum. The most you should expect to do is vacuum the outside and/or wipe with a damp cloth. After all, the whole point of filtration is for the cleaner to take care of your problem, not the other way around.

Warranty On The Purifier---One of the best ways to tell if your cleaner is going to last is to look at how long the warranty lasts. If there is only a 6 month or 1 year warranty, you have your answer about how much time you can expect it to work. Choose a 5 year warranty to make sure you get the most bang for your buck. That way you know you're going to get your money's worth.

These 5 features can make choosing an a cleaner for cat odor a lot easier than you think. Print them out and use them to help you bring home the best cleaner for you and your cat.
