Why it’s essential to have an Air Purifier in your home
The pandemic has definitely taught us the value of getting outside and breathing in fresh air. If you’re getting out regularly or you’re currently cooped up with the dreaded virus, getting fresh air pumping through your house and cleaning the quality of your air is extremely important for your health and wellbeing. Air purifiers and filters are the best way to do this.
Air purifiers and filters are devices that remove contaminants from the air to improve the air quality in the home. These devices are especially beneficial for asthmatics, and allergy sufferers and they’re great at reducing mould or second-hand tobacco smoke. Depending on the size you choose, air purifiers can easily sit in the corner of the room out of the way and go unnoticed while it does its work.
Shark air purifiers efficiently clean the air in your home by intelligently tracking the air quality with Clean Sense IQ and automatically adjusting the cleaning power. Real time results are reported on the display screen. Customers can choose from 4 or 6 fan models and these filters circulate the air throughout the rooms in your house. The filter also removes and neutralises odours, traps dirt and particles and captures 99.97% of allergens and pollutants. They’re ideal for people with big houses and families with young children, especially if you have any family members with allergies and health concerns.
