Do Air Purifiers Really Help With Allergies?

Before we go any further, we need to clarify something. Air purifiers definitely help with most indoor allergies, but they do not remove 100% of allergens in your home. Allergens that have fallen down into your carpet or on your bedroom pillows (for instance) are still there.

Air purifiers can greatly alleviate the symptoms of allergies. In fact, you should start seeing significant air quality improvement as your purifier removes irritating many of the allergen particles, such as…

  • Pet Dander
  • Airborne Mold Spores
  • Pollen
  • Dust Mite Feces
  • Household Dust

Air purifiers, especially those with high grade HEPA filters, offer wonderful benefits for homeowners or family members that regularly suffer from indoor allergies. Just be sure to continue dusting, vacuuming, and washing your sheets!

For instance, family members that are sensitive to ozone and other similar particles might actually suffer flare ups with an ozone powered purifier. Your doctor can help recommend a purifier that’s right for your loved ones.

In general, purifiers high-grade HEPA filters will be the most successful at capturing the particles that cause flare-ups. You can even partner your system with a UV germicidal light to neutralize bacteria and viruses.
