Air purifiers for allergy relief
Allergies are widespread. Many allergens enter the respiratory system via the air and can trigger overreactions in the body. Normally harmless particles such as pollen, grasses, dust or pet hair can make life miserable for allergy sufferers, who can’t escape allergens even at home.
However, there are various ways of tackling the root cause and keeping your home allergen-free. What can you do? Here are some answers.
What you can do for allergy relief
As already mentioned, you can do a lot to prevent allergies from flaring up. Read on for a number of effective tips. Regular cleaning, vacuuming and dusting helps a great deal. It’s also worth thinking about cutting down on carpets and other textiles such as curtains that tend to collect allergens. Additionally, air purifiers can help by filtering allergens out of the indoor air.
Tips for people allergic to house dust
- Anti-dust-mite covers for mattresses and pillows
- Wash bedding regularly at high temperature
- Avoid items that gather dust and regularly dust in your rooms
- Wear a mask when vacuuming
Tips for people allergic to pollen:
- Fit pollen screens to your windows
- Do not dry laundry outside during the pollen season
- Do not undress in the bedroom or leave worn clothing there
- Shower before going to bed because pollen can also collect in your hair
Tips for people allergic to pet hairs
- If possible, don’t keep pets that trigger your allergy
- Keep pets away from objects such as soft furniture and carpets
- Keep pets out of your bedroom
Air purifiers for allergy relief
Air purifiers help filter tiny particles such as pollen, house dust or pet hair out of the air. They can provide relief from allergies in the home. However, they only trap the allergens suspended in the air. Particles deposited on bedding, soft furniture or the floor stay in the room. That’s why air purifiers help most in combination with the other tips mentioned here.
What to look out for when buying an air purifier for allergy relief
The room size quoted for the appliance refers to closed rooms.
If you keep the doors open, add the areas of the adjacent rooms to your original room size. We recommend that you add another ⅓ to the total room area to ensure the appliance achieves the required results even at a low or medium setting. This also means it doesn’t operate at its limit so the noise level remains low.
Example (room size: 40 m²): If the doors are open and the room is adjacent to a 15 m² room, add the two room sizes together (intermediate sum: 55 m²). Then add another ⅓ of the intermediate sum so that the appliance doesn’t have to operate at its limit. Therefore, the appliance should be designed for an area of approx. 73 m².
You might also want to take other factors into account:
- Select an air purifier that is no louder than approx. 40 decibels during the day and 30 decibels at night – that way you can also use the appliance in your bedroom.
- The appliance should have a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter of class H13 or H14. These can filter pollen and other ultrafine particles down to a size of 0.07 µm out of the air.
- Also make sure the appliance does not work with ozone, as this can release additional hazardous substances into the air.
