<h1>Why Pet Air Purifiers Don’t Work—Or Don’t Seem To</h1>

Many people buy pet air cleaners, obviously, to get rid of pet dander and odors. Often, however, some complain that the unit doesn’t work, especially when it seems like the unit isn’t removing the odors very well. And this goes for many of the top-rated air cleaners, too, with the best HEPA and carbon filters that money can buy. What’s going on? Are these top-rated air purifiers not really that good? Is all the advertising about pet air purifiers just a bunch of…hype?

 

Not really. In some cases where the air cleaner doesn’t have true HEPA and quality carbon filters, it’s just not going to do well for removing that tough cat and dog smell or the tiny hair and other dander particles. Most often, the REAL problems that cause people to think that a pet air purifier isn’t working are one or more of the following:

 

1) there is too much constant pet dander and odor from pets urinating and pooping on floors and carpets, and not enough daily, effective clean up, vacuuming, etc. This often happens with multiple pets.

 2) the indoor humidity is too high, causing the odors and dander particles to linger longer and stick to walls and other surfaces because of the extra moisture in the air.

 3) the air cleaner doesn’t have a large enough capacity or output to cycle the odor-filled air before it can get to your nose. Or, you’re trying to cover a space larger than the air purifier is designed for, which again, causes some of the odor and dander to get to your nose before the air cleaner can remove it.

 4) The carbon filter is saturated and can’t absorb any more odors—if that’s the case, the air cleaner is going to be circulating odor-filled air because the carbon can’t remove the organic chemicals that cause the odors anymore and lets them blow right through. And you smell them more because of the extra circulation without the odor molecules being removed.

 

That said, if you don’t want to or can’t thoroughly clean every day, you’ll probably just need a few more portable air purifiers to remove the extra pollutants being released into the air. And if odors are a problem, you really want to add Febreze Pet to your grocery list, as it’s been shown to be very effective at getting rid of those extra pet odors when the air cleaner seems to leave a little bit in the air.

 

If you have multiple pets or just a lot of dander and odor from one pet, don’t buy a small pet air cleaner—get a good HEPA pet air purifier with a little more output, like 200-400 CFM minimum or it won’t be able to cycle the air fast enough and you’ll think it’s not working because the odors or dander got to your nose before the air cleaner could remove them.

 

Lastly, keep an eye on your filters—they really have to be changed regularly, especially the carbon filters. When you first start smelling lingering pet odors again, think about how long that carbon filter has been in the air purifier and if it’s been more than 6-8 months, you might want to change it, wash it, or whatever the manufacture suggests. Pet air cleaners do work well, and when used correctly, they can really help keep your home odor, dander, and allergy free.
