An air cleaner is an aid to better health but there are no guarantees that your symptoms of allergies or asthma will magically disappear by using an air cleaner.  Different people have different degrees of health problems and to say that an air cleaner, alone, would cure your ills would be a misnomer.

Some air cleaners are designed to remove only large particles while others remove small particles.  An air cleaner also cannot remove every square inch of air in a room and clean efficiently before particles settle on furniture and other surfaces.  Other allergen preventative measures have to be incorporated with air cleaners.  These include frequent vacuuming, dusting, and washing of bedding at least weekly.

If you work outside of the home, you will probably notice a dramatic difference when you walk into your home due to the freshness and purity of a clean atmosphere compared to your work place.  Some use an air cleaner in their bedroom to help alleviate the respiratory distress of the day and to get recharged while they sleep.  After all, you can’t carry around your air cleaner with you so get quality air while you can.

An air cleaner can make a large difference in your overall health but is not a cure all for your individual situation.  The federal government can offer many excellent ideas for controlling allergies at www.epa.gov/asthma to help incorporate a good air cleaner with other healthy steps.
