How to Improve the Quality of Your Air - Air Care Products Explained

Air Purifiers

These appliances are designed to cleanse the air in your home, eradicating impurities including odours, smoke, dust and pet dander.

Usually consist of a filter, or multiple filters, in addition to a fan that sucks in and circulates air. As the air is pulled through the filter, pollutants and particles are captured, allowing only clean air to pass back into the living space. Filters are normally made from paper, fiber or mesh and require routine replacement/cleaning.

Types of air purifiers:

Ionisers

Ionisers are often an added feature to higher-end air purifiers. Air ionisers use high voltage to create a static charge around airborne contaminants. Negative ions bond to dust and allergens to remove them from the air. Ionisers leave the air feeling fresh as the contaminants are no longer floating around in mid-air – rather they simply stick to the nearest surface they find.

Humidifiers

Humidifiers help to add moisture into the air to prevent dryness. These are very effective for treating dryness of the skin, nose, throat and lips. They also work to relieve symptoms caused by the flu or common cold. Caution should be used when using humidifiers as they can potentially worsen respiratory problems.

Types of humidifiers:

Aroma diffusers

These are (often) small electronic devices that mists essential oils, filling a room with its scent.

Types of diffusers:

Dehumidifiers

These appliances work by sucking in the air from your room, removing the moisture from it, and then blowing it back into the room. Moisture is collected in a tank that needs to be emptied from time to time. By keeping the humidity level comfortable in your home, you’ll notice fewer signs of damp air – such as mould on walls or condensation on your windows.

Types of dehumidifiers:

Hygrometers

These devices measure the temperature and humidity levels in the home. Perfect to detect if your room is healthy or you are creating an environment for mould and other bacteria and viruses to thrive.

Air Cooler and Fans

Air coolers and fans help to circulate the air in your room. Air coolers have the added feature of intaking hot air, cooling it and expelling cold air out into your room.
