When everybody’s saying it, it’s easy to just believe on what they believe. But then, if it involves you spending money on it, are you really willing to blindly accept that instead of double checking for facts? Here are some myths about air purifiers and the truth about them! Dig in before you buy one for the wrong reasons.

the record, air purifiers only filters the dust particles mixed in the air. Not all the dust and dirt that has piled up on your floor, furniture, and everything else in the room. So you definitely still need to do the cleaning.

Myth: HEPA Filters Can Eliminate Odor

Truth: If you have odor problems in your house, you should look for the culprit of the foul smell and deodorize accordingly. Mixture of vinegar and water works wonders. Air purifiers are not the answer.

Myth: Your Allergies Will Go Away When You Install Air Purifier

Truth: Air purifiers help lessen your allergy attacks, cleaning the air you breathe by purifying the air pollutants. However, this doesn’t mean purifiers can cure your allergies per se. You still have to maintain cleanliness in your surroundings to avoid aggravating your condition.

Myth: There’s No Specific Speed That You Need To Set The Air Purifier To

Truth: To enjoy the benefits of air purifiers, you have to run it to the highest speed for at least a few hours before your bed time. If the noise bothers you then you can turn it down after a couple of hours. Letting it run for a very low speed, even for the entire night, makes it less effective.
