Pet Dander Air Purifier---5 Important Features To Have

If you share your home with a dog, cat, bird, ferret, bunny, hamster or some combination of the above, it goes without saying that you have pet dander. And as a natural part of their growth and development, it will continue to shed for as long as you have your pets. But wait, there more good news.

Nothing can completely eliminate the dander (don't give up yet), but the right air purifier can not only reduce the levels in your air, but keep them low. And low enough to make a significant difference in your air quality. Here are 5 features that will indicate an effective cleaner.

Multiple Filtration Process---With all of the different particulates and smells that pets bring, an effective cleaner needs to have a number of different types of filters that can deal with all that is in your air. All types of pollutants can not possibly be eliminated by just one filter.. Selecting a purifier that has the ability to eliminate both gaseous and particulate pollutants is both cost effective and efficient

HEPA Technology---The best and safest type of filter for removal of airborne particles, regardless of who generates them, is the high efficiency particle filter. HEPA is simply an acronym made by using the first letters of those 4 words.

By definition must have proven to be able to eliminate 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particulates that are.3 microns or greater in size, with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.

Steel Casing---Steel is the best material for the casing of an air cleaner to be made. It's more expensive material than plastic, but it often means the difference between clean air and polluted air.

When the motor heats up a casing made of plastic, it often creates fumes that are worse than the pollutants you are trying to move. By choosing a cleaner made of steel you insure that off-gassing will not occur because of motor heat.

Pro-rated Filter Warranty---This is a huge clue about how successful you can expect a cleaner to be. If the manufacturer is willing to offer a guarantee on the filter, it is an indication that they have designed a filter that is both effective and long lasting.

They couldn't stay in business very long and continue to offer that type of warranty unless they were sure that it really works.

Fresh Air Is The Only By-Product----Using an atom bomb to destroy a fly makes about as much sense as using an air purifier that emits fumes that are harmful to both humans and pets..

With that said, avoid cleaners that use any amount of ozone. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency has stated that any level of ozone emission is unsafe. The only by-product that your cleaner should emit is air that is fresh and clean.

Some wise soul said pets make a house a home. There was no mention of the dander. Choosing a pet dander air cleaner with these 5 features will make you home a healthier one for you and your pet.
