Most of us are working very hard trying to live longer and feel better. And we exercise, take supplements, meditate, try to sleep more, filter our water, and even do internal cleansing to remove toxins–all in an effort to slow down the aging process, sleep better, and have more energy. All of these activities are very helpful, but did you know that one of the main things that cause us to age prematurely, have low energy, and not feel as well, in general, is indoor air pollution?
That’s right. It has been shown in numerous studies that the effects of poor air quality on health are significant, and in 2011, even the EPA has listed indoor air pollution in the top 5 major health hazards that we face. This is because tiny airborne pollutants commonly found in almost every home—such as dust, mold spores, bacteria, chemical vapors, gases, etc.—have been shown to contribute to cell and tissue breakdown through increased oxidation, poor sleep, increased allergy & asthma attacks, more frequent colds, pneumonia, blood disorders, heart disease, even neurological disorders. Indoor air quality is a big deal, and even more of an issue now, since we’re spending more and more time indoors.
One particular problem is dust mites, which are very common in most homes. Unfortunately, they are also one of the strongest allergens known to man, being responsible for nearly 60% of allergy and asthma cases worldwide. Sixty percent. That’s a lot. And one gram of dust is estimated to carry over 200 dust mites, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and other health hazards. Without an air purification system in place, you’re breathing all of these pollutants in day and night. With a quality air purifier in your home or room, however, the air is filtered before you breathe it, eliminating most of all of the pollutants that would cause an allergy or asthma attack.
If you live in a home where there is a lot of smoke, buying an air purification system can make a dramatic difference, if the unit it designed to remove smoke. Most tobacco has over 500 additives, and 43 proven cancer causing agents, irritating smoke particles and ash that causes a whole list of health issues and general irritation. If you live with a smoker, controlling or removing the excess smoke with an air purifier may reduce your risk of health problems from second hand smoke by 50% or more, not to mention getting rid of most of the odor, tar and dust that come along with smoke.
Many people find that in as little as 24-48 hours of installing a top-rated air purifier that the allergy and asthma symptoms they normally experience in their homes have significantly decreased, or have gone away completely. This is because the best air cleaners have true HEPA filters to remove 99% or more of dust and particles, and a good amount of activated carbon to remove chemicals vapors and odors—all of which can cause allergy, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Some air purifiers even have electronic sensors that turn on when they sense dust or odors, which also turns the unit down or off when not needed. Air purifiers with electronic sensors can be important if you also want to save energy. But buyer beware—there are a lot of inexpensive air purifiers on the market that don’t do a very good job of cleaning the air, and actually increase air pollution because the fan blows around the pollutants that it does not trap! And of course, cheap air cleaners often break within a year or so, and in the end, you’ll spend more than you would buying a good unit.
The bottom line is that by removing the pollutants from the air in our homes, we can sharply reduce or eliminate allergies, asthma, and other health issues—and this is easily done by installing a indoor air filtration system. And you may even reduce doctor visits and medication costs in the process!

Home Air Purification: The Key To Eliminating Allergy & Asthma Symptoms?
Your home is your safe place, a comfortable place where you and your family, laugh, love and experience some of life’s best moments. That makes it tough to think about our homes and bedrooms as something that might be making us sick. But more and more studies and tests are showing, however, that poor home indoor air quality is the chief cause of allergy, asthma, and other respiratory problems.
How does this happen? Your home is a pretty much a closed environment, which naturally causes allergy and asthma triggers like bacteria, viruses, mold spores, dust, dust mites, pollen, fabric and carpet fibers, pet dander, insect eggs, even chemical vapors to accumulate. Then, when our air conditioners turn on, when we sit down on the couch, plop down on the bed or simply walk around in our rooms, these pollutants become airborne and we breathe them in. And, since most Americans are spending over 90% of their time indoors, breathing in allergy and asthma causing agents, it’s not surprising that the number of allergy and asthma cases in the U.S. is constantly on the rise. A growing number of people are finding that the best way to get relief, however, and even permanently eliminate allergy, asthma, and other respiratory symptoms is to use a quality home air purification system.
Home air purification makes a lot of sense, if you’re trying to get rid of allergies and asthma. Just remove the pollutants from the air and you won’t have as many reactions, right? Exactly. It’s the airborne pollutants that are usually the problem, and all you need is one or more quality portable room air purifiers, with a true HEPA filter to remove the dust, pollen, and other particles, and an activated carbon filter to remove chemicals, vapors, and odors. Simple, right? Yes, but beware—all allergy or asthma air purifiers are not the same, and often you get what you pay for.
Many cheap air purifiers do not have the same type of HEPA filters, or enough of the right type of carbon to properly clean the air. And don’t buy air cleaners that are only ionic (don’t have a HEPA filter) as they do a very poor job of cleaning the air. The best portable allergy air cleaner have true HEPA filters, have a good amount of granular activated carbon, and are usually highly rated for reducing allergy and asthma symptoms. Some portable air cleaners include UV light, as well, which kills bacteria. UV light is also very good for killing mold spores, and may be a good option if you think your home has mold. Top-rated home air purifiers like Aller Air, Blueair and Austin Air are all known to be highly effective and best for home air purification. Blueair and Austin Air even come with a 30 Day money-back guarantee, and tons of testimonials from real people. That’s the kind of room air cleaner you want if you really want to get rid of your allergies and asthma.

Looking for the Best Portable Home Air Cleaner? Austin Air is Your Answer.
If you’re starting to take home air filtration and indoor air quality seriously, you’re doing the right thing as air quality has been proven to be a big factor affecting your health. But choosing the right air purifier, the best one, isn’t so easy. There’s a lot of hype out there about what qualifies an air purifier as the best air purifier for home or room use, and it can be really confusing. To truly answer the question as to which air cleaner is really the best, overall, you have to look at three main factors: performance, cost, and durability.
When you compare air purifiers on with those three factors in mind, there is only one that rates highest in every category—Austin Air. Why is that? Well, let’s look at performance first. All of the Austin Air units have a combination of a good pre-filter, a medical-grade HEPA filter to remove 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns and 95% down to 0.1 microns, either 6 or 15 pounds of high grade activated carbon / zeolite (Jr model vs regular size) to remove chemical and gas pollutants, covers 700-1500 sq feet, has a 5 year warranty.
If that isn’t enough, Austin Air purifiers are trusted and recommended by FEMA and The American Red Cross for effectiveness. Whatever other home or room air purifier you may have been considering, compare that unit to say, the Austin Healthmate. Austin air cleaners are unmatched for asthma and allergy relief, and odor and smoke control. The Austin Bedroom Machine is recommended by the National Sleep Foundation, as well!
Next, let’s look at cost. Austin air cleaners are going to range from around $375 to $765 for the Bedroom Machine. Yes, that’s a little more than a lot of air purifiers out there, but compare air cleaners with similar performance and filters. Dollar for dollar, Austin wins again. Even with more expensive units like IQ Air, etc, Austin performance is STILL superior in several categories, such as pet odor, bedroom / sleep applications, and allergy control.
As for durability, Austin Air purifiers are made of heavy duty parts, with a solid steel chassis and a heavy duty finish that resist scratches and looks new after years of use. Many cheap air purifiers have a plastic frame and other plastic components that do not last. These cheap air purifiers do not clean the air as well, and usually need replacing after a year or so, which will cost you more in the long run. Again, you have a 5 year warranty on the air purifier, and a 5 year pro-rated warranty on the filter as well. AND, you have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. That is how good they are.
All of these amazing features and excellent value is why Air Purifiers and Cleaners.com is proud to be an authorized Austin Air dealer. We sell all the best Austin Air models (Healthmate, Healthmate Plus, Pet Machine, Bedroom Machine, etc), all Austin air junior models, and replacement filters for any Austin Air unit. And because we’re an online store, we don’t have the overhead of traditional stores so we can pass the savings on to you with cheap discount prices and free shipping. And, we have an expert staff on hand to answer any air purifier or air quality questions you may have. Give us a call toll-free today at 1-800-701-2513! We can help!

Need to Remove Cooking Odors From Your Home? Think Carbon!
Ah, the great smell of cooking–onions, peppers, fish, Indian cooking, Asian cooking—all the stuff we love to eat…and smell! But for people who get headaches or have other reactions to cooking odors, sometimes these lingering cooking smells are really offensive. So how do you get rid of cooking smells in your house? Well, there are several good techniques, but to effectively remove cooking odors, we need to look at what these smells are made of, and why they tend to linger.
Just about every kind of food has a combination of water, organic compounds, oils, and structural components like protein/fibers. When food is cooked, the structural components, the fiber, the cells, etc break down through heat and chemical reactions to release molecules into the air that are composed of gases, vapors, and tiny particles—some just oily gas/vapor molecules, and others that have a combination of particles/vapors. The biggest reasons why cooking odors tend to linger is the overall oily or ‘sticky’ nature of most of them—which makes them to stick to surfaces like walls, countertops, furniture, and their tendency to stay airborne for a long time.
If you’re cooking with oil, butter, or spices, all of these tend to increase the amount airborne oily ‘smell’ molecules that are released. This is why Indian cooking, Asian cooking, stir fry, fish, or any other oily foods with lots of spices tends to leave stronger, longer lasting odors in the air. If the food itself is oily like fish, seafood, or foods that have a high fat content (pork, etc), this will increase the amount of oily molecules floating around, too.
As we said earlier, these cooking odors are composed of both particles and organic compounds in gas / vapor form. To remove organic compounds like these from the air, you really need an odor absorber air cleaner with activated carbon, the right type of carbon, and enough of it to remove cooking smells for a long time (a carbon filter will absorb cooking odors but does ‘fill up’ after a while and needs to be replaced). The particles that are floating around are easily absorbed by a true HEPA filter that traps particles down to 0.1-0.3 microns in size. Having both HEPA and activated carbon filters can go a long way toward solid cooking odor control. And you will probably need to clean floors, wipe down cabinets, kitchen walls, etc., periodically as well to keep cooking odors to a minimum.
So far, the best recommendations we have found for eliminating cooking smells are: 1) open windows, 2) turn the house A/C system on high during and for a couple of hours after cooking and make sure it’s on ‘cool’ as this actually pulls moisture (removes odors better) out of the air, 3) use a quality portable air purifier such as the Austin HealthMate Plus or Aller Air 4000 Vocarb, with activated carbon and a HEPA filter in the kitchen and / or in the area where you are most of the time and keep them on HIGH while cooking and for a couple of hours after you finish. 4) if you really need to change the smell, we’ve found that Febreze and Glade Hawaiian Breeze sprays do help—but don’t overspray or you may make the problem worse.
At Air Purifiers and Cleaners.com, we specialize in helping people breathe cleaner air, and we sell the very best odor remover air purifiers, filters, air testing equipment and more, at discount prices with free shipping. We have experts on staff to handle any home or commercial air purification or odor-removal situations you may be experiencing. Call us toll-free at 1-800-701-2513!

Pet Air Purifiers: A Way to Save Money?
Actually, using pet air purifiers can save you money in lots of ways. Many people who have indoor pets (cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, etc.) purchase air fresheners and cleaners to help get rid of pet odors, special brooms and other cleaning tools to pick up hair, and allergy medications to help reduce sneezing, coughing, and other respiratory problems. Amazingly, there is one thing you can do that will take care of all of those problems and save you time and money: buy an air purifier that is designed for use with pets.
Quality cat and dog air cleaners have pre-filters that trap animal hair and larger particles, dander, etc, HEPA filters that trap and filter the smaller dander and particles (such as bird dust), and a good amount of specially activated carbon that removes general pet odors, even cat urine odors and dog smell. Just think of how much you’re spending monthly on those extra allergy medications, cleaning tools/products, air fresheners, etc. Add it up for yourself and see. Chances are, in just a few months, you’ve spent more than it would cost for a good pet air purifier.
Some excellent brands to consider are Winix, Blueair, and Austin Air. The Winix air purifiers are some of the best value on the market as they feature pre filters, HEPA filters, activated carbon, and healthy negative ions that further clean the air and destroy bacteria / viruses, all for under $300. Blueair is a little more powerful with specially activated carbon, which is better for removing pet odors and an extra strength HEPA filter that removes particles down to 0.1 micron, plus the healthy negative ions. Blueair is a little more expensive but you have a minimum 5 year warranty, longer lasting filters, and heavier duty Swedish construction.
The Austin Air Pet Machine has much of the same features, but has a full 15 lbs of carbon / zeolite for odor removal, a powerful HEPA filter, and a good pre-filter. The Austin Pet Machine is probably the most effective, best value pet air purifier available as it has the best air filtration / odor / dander removal ability and it is about $100 less than say, the Blueair 450E. So, if you do have indoor pets, do yourself a favor and get a quality pet air purifier. It will save you money in the long run and you’ll probably feel and sleep better knowing you are breathing clean air.
Air Purifiers and Cleaners.com is proud to be an authorized distributor for Winix, Blueair, and Austin Air air purifiers. And since we are an online store, we don’t have the overhead of traditional stores and we pass those savings on to you with cheap discount prices and free shipping every day.

Portable Home Air Purifiers: More Important Than Ever?
Let’s face it—everyone is getting older…if you’re still alive, you have to be! As a result, our immune systems just aren’t as strong. And air pollution outside the home tends to weaken our immune systems further, which when added to indoor air pollution, over time the result is that our bodies are put into an increasingly ‘reactive’ state. This is largely because of a buildup effect of toxins / pollution that, over time, leaves our bodies increasingly dealing with / reacting to foreign particles / substance—things the body does not recognize and reacts to in the form of allergies, asthma, and other ailments. This is why you find yourself saying ‘I never used to be this way’ or ‘I never used to have allergies/asthma this bad’ or other conditions now just seem to be a little worse than even 2-3 years ago. Our bodies become less and less able to deal with or get rid of pollutants as we get older—that plus a more ‘reactive’ overall state makes it more important than ever keep as many pollutants out of the air as possible.
That’s where quality portable home air purifiers can make a huge difference in the number and severity of allergic, asthma, or other physical reactions / problems. What we eat, what we drink, and what we breathe are the three big things that often determine the quality of our health. Your best quality portable home air purifiers / cleaners have true HEPA filters and high-grade activated carbon that can easily remove the dust, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, pet dander, and other pollutants from the indoor air so that the body does not have to deal with / react to more pollutants. Then, since the source of allergens /irritants has been removed, the body can begin to better get rid of the pollutants that are stored in tissues. Our systems are kind of like a bucket of polluted water with an ‘elimination hole’ in the side that is letting out polluted water. If we stop pouring in more polluted water at the top, then the overall level of polluted water in the bucket can go down, leaving the body with less and less to react to. Make sense?
And since these air cleaners are portable, they can be moved from room to room, to the office, or wherever there is a need for air purification. What you don’t want is a cheap air cleaner that doesn’t have true HEPA / carbon filters, and breaks down in a year or so. If you spend a little more and get a quality portable air purifier with a good warranty the first time, it will do the job well for years to come, and keep you from having to replace a cheap air purifier every year.
Keep in mind, too, that our homes / offices are constantly breaking down, as well, releasing more and more dust / debris. That is why you can’t just dust one time and be done with it. The walls, structural materials, etc. are in a constant state of slow breakdown, which releases particles and chemical vapors. Plus, believe it or not, vapors from cleaning products, solvents, paints, etc. are also constantly being released into the air, which actually stick to walls in our rooms, ceilings, etc, and when air blows across, they become airborne again and we breathe more of that in, as well—unless of course you have a portable room air cleaner in place removing the dust / toxins before they can be inhaled. This is all related to body cleansing, which has all been clinically documented for years, with many people’s health / allergic /asthma / other conditions improving greatly when the offending pollution is been removed. Again, now that we are older, have accumulated more pollution in our tissues, we’re more reactive in general than before, and we’re less able to get rid of pollutants, it makes sense that portable home air purifiers could now be one of the best home remedies and more important than ever to living and feeling better.
Air Purifiers and Cleaners.com is proud to offer only the very best quality portable home air purifier , at cheap, affordable prices with free shipping. We also sell replacement HEPA and activated carbon filters, pre filters, etc., for many brands of portable home air purifiers / cleaners.
