Cat Urine Air Cleaner---5 Features That Insure Effectiveness

Urine smell from a cat can literally be breath taking in its intensity. If you love and share your home with a cat, mistakes are likely to happen. The best way to consistently enjoy fresh smelling air is to continually filter the smell. Using an air purifier with the following 5 features will insure that your cleaner can do the job.

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.

Look for a motor called a split capacitor in the technical specifications 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. But in the long run, it costs more.

The best unit should have a 5-year filters warranty, and you should expect the manufacturer to back up that claim with a pro-rated warranty on the filter. This is another feature to look for before you finalize your decision.

Low Maintenance---Most of us have enough going on in our lives that we don't want or need a high maintenance cleaner. 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. Opt for a hefty warranty of 5 years. 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. Taking these specs with you while comparing units will help you bring home a cleaner that will really work for you and your feline love.
