Plug-In Air Fresheners bothering your throat and sinuses?

Recently, my husband bought a plug-in air freshener for the livingroom to “freshen” the place up a bit. The first day, it was great, I could smell the fragrance and it really seemed to brighten up the place. Now, a week later, I can’t smell the fragrance at all and I have noticed what seems like a coating of my sinuses and throat. It honestly feels like chemicals have irritated my throat so much so that mucus has begun to build up in my tissues to protect it from the harmful..ness.

I also noticed that my husband was clearing his throat frequently and my two little boys started to sneeze often. This triggered the thought that maybe it was the air freshener. After intense research on the internet, I found out that this is actually very common. Most people are sensitive to the powerful chemicals in those air fresheners. Other people complain of sinus issues, throat issues and almost allergy-like symptoms. I even discovered that there are carcinogens inside that liquid. Wow!

So, just for a nice smelling house (that you can only smell for a day or two) we are expected to suffer through allergy-like symptoms. Not the best choice if you ask me!

What can you do to remove odors from your home and/or make it smell better? Purchase an air purifier! Air purifiers like the Austin Air HealthMate are designed to remove odors and other harmful chemicals from your home with there intense HEPA and carbon filters. In fact, the Austin Air has one of the highest rated combination filters in the world! The nice thing about air purifiers like the Austin Air is that they do not require regular, expensive replacement parts. The Austin Air filter is guaranteed to last 5 years!

Another great option for removing harmful chemical fumes, odors and even smoke is the IQAir MultiGas Air Purifier. The IQAir has been featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition™ for it’s advanced filtration system. The IQAir uses medical-grade HEPA filtration to provide clean air results equal to that of a hospital clean room. Hosptial clean rooms require that particles down to 0.001 microns in size (extremely tiny) are removed for the ultra-sensitive. The IQAir does just that and very quickly. Within minutes, you can breathe the difference in air quality.

So, before choosing to subject you and your family members to a chemical ridden home by buying those plug-in air fresheners, discuss buying an air purifier instead. They last significantly longer, are actually healthy for your family and will provide fresh air and allergy relief year-round.

Fall Allergies Kicking In?

Walking through my local grocery store yesterday I heard more sneezes in 10 minutes than I have in a long time. Seems to be that fall allergies are really kicking into high gear. The best way to stay on top of fall allergies is to protect yourself from exposure. You could stay in your house with a mask on all day but I doubt that interests anyone. The other option is to purchase an air purifier from www.cleanair4life.com to purify the air inside your home so you always have a safe haven to return to each day. By adding an air purifier to your list of allergy cures for the season, you not only reap the benefits of having less allergens in the air to bother you, but you also reduce the amount of medications you might have taken to help cure some of the symptoms. Keeping your system medication-free to stay strong during the flu season is a huge help in staying healthy and productive.

Air Purifiers, what’s the appeal?

Air purifiers are the latest craze with spring fast approaching. At first glance they can appear to be over-priced and under performed, but upon further examination, we have found their incredible effectiveness.

Depending on which brand, model and type of air purifier you buy, you really do get what you pay for. Our company purchases air purifiers as “regular consumers” and tests them here at the office to determine the quality and effectiveness of each one before deciding whether or not to sell them on our site. During real-life testing, our top 2 choices both ended up being HEPA-based air purifiers. With spring approaching and pollen counts slowly rising, HEPA filters are a necessity to those with pollen allergies. HEPA filters will trap tiny particles are remove them from the air so they cannot find their way up your nose and into your sinuses, only to bring about problems. HEPA filters will do a great job…if they perform as claimed.

Our absolute top choice for an advanced HEPA air filter was the IQAir Health Pro Plus. This purifier has received the highest ratings and reviews of any other air purifier in the industry, so we figured, maybe we should check it out. Upon receiving the purifier in the office, we immediately felt the difference. The air simply smelt and felt more pure. After a week had passed and the cleaning lady hadn’t been around, we noticed a significant decrease in the amount of dust on our computers and work spaces. Amazing! All the sneezers had stopped sneezing (ok still occasionally) and the eye rubbers stopped rubbing their eyes. Everyone loved it and literally had nothing bad to say about it…now price…

The unit is a little pricey so I doubt anyone of us could afford to put one in every room of the house, but to invest in one for the bedroom and one for the familyroom would be well worth the weight in gold.

Our #2 choice, the Cleanaire D-2100. This air purifier also has a HEPA filter in it, but comes with 3 other types of technologies. Carbon filter, prescreen filter and UV light. Now, we’ve had all-in-one purifiers before and all they seemed to do was fill the air with the smell of ozone like they were trying to cover up that they did not actually purify the air. This one did not. It’s actually certified not to product ozone so definitely a bonus in our books. (Although ozone is not harmful in small amounts, sometimes in the closed up office here the smell can get a bit overwhelming at times).

So, same kind of results, within one week of the cleaning lady not coming here, there was a significant reduction in the amount of dust on the desks and the sneezers sneezed a lot less. Impressed. The price was a little more forgiving than the IQAir but I do know that the IQAir can remove the ultra-ultra tiny particles which makes the extra mula well worth it.

All in all, before spring hits full bloom, we feel it’s best to prepare with an air purifier that actually works like it says it’s going to. The IQAir and the Cleanaire D-2100, both available here at our website of course, are great choices. They both help the sneezers stop sneezing and the eye rubbers stop rubbing. So what’s the appeal? The last sentence says it all.

Energy Star Air Purifiers

These days most people are very interested in conserving energy. Air purifiers that have been rated as energy-efficient can provide your household with pure clean air while keeping energy costs down.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) sets guidelines for certain appliances to follow to become energy-efficient. For example, they require that the wattage of power consumed by a purifier is low while still maintaining performance. Also, if the energy star purifier is more expensive than its counterpart, the consumer must be able to recover some of the difference in energy savings over a reasonable amount of time.

Not only do energy-efficient purifiers reduce greenhouse gas emissions thereby helping save the environment, they also save you money each month. The average air purifier will use approximately 835 kilowatts per year which can lead to around $100 in additional costs on your energy bill. An energy-efficient air purifier will only use approximately a third to one half that amount saving you more than $50 per year.

So, not only is it beneficial for your family to reap the benefits of having an air purifier in your home, you will also feel great about saving money each year and saving the environment if you choose to find an air purifier that is also energy-efficient. Our website has a ton of energy-efficient air purifiers for sale with a wide range of other options like filtration method, price, coverage, etc… Check out our line of Blueair Air Purifier that receive on e of the highest energy-star ratings of all purifiers. http://www.cleanair4life.com/categories/Shop-By-Brand/Blueair/

If you can’t get rid of the Smoker, get rid of the Smoke

A lot of couples find it frustrating when one smokes in the house and the other doesn’t approve. We all know it’s taboo now-a-days to say that someone still smokes in the house, but it’s still around and still presents a major problem for some households. The smell can be overbearing for the non-smoker but the convenience of doing what you want in your own home can override the choice not to smoke in the house for the other. How do you find that perfect balance?

Well, you may want to try a carbon-based air filter. Carbon is designed to literally absorb smoke and household chemicals by a chemical reaction within the activated carbon filter media. This reaction will pull the smoke from the air to help reduce the amount of visible smoke as well as the odors that come along with it. This may not be the perfect choice, but if it can help purify the air and reduce the amount of second-hand smoke the family members breathe in, then it’s definitely worth it.

Carbon filters can range in price from extremely expensive to store-brand cheap. Depending on the size room you are trying to rid of smoke, you may need to invest some serious cash to get the right one. IQAir has a purifier called the Multigas that can remove 99.99% of airborne particles and household chemicals including smoke and the chemicals that are associated with smoke. It has the #1 ratings out of most other purifiers and comes with a 5 year warranty. definitely worth checking out. Click here to learn more about this amazing purifier.

Talk about frustrating! I spent an hour yesterday trying to figure out how to decrease the space between paragraphs. I mean come on, you would think with all the information out on the web that someone would have had this same question. But noooo!

After all the research and google..ing.. (word, no?) I came up with the conclusion, that I really just need to leave the page as is and leave the darn space where it is. Will anyone even notice the difference, probably not! Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. If you’re getting snow like we are, stay warm!

Water Air Purifier, oxymoron or the real deal?

Well, after my discussion yesterday about having water air purifier as one of our top keyword terms, I decided to find out exactly what was out on the market for it. With so many people searching for water air purifiers, there must be something that fits the description right? Right!

I found this little cute purifier called the Mini Max ™ water-based air purifier. It is so neat! This purifier can cover between 300 and 800 square feet and has the option to add aromatherapy oils to smell up the room all the while cleaning your air. How crazy! So, we decided to begin offering this little purifier on our website. It should be up and ready to go sometime in the next 3 weeks if you want to check it out.

Amazing huh? Ask and you shall receive I believe is the phrase. Instead of sitting there getting confused about why people would search for an oxymoron and trying our hardest to redirect them to an air purifier that we actual have, we set out to fulfill the needs of our customers so they can find what they are looking for. Isn’t that the goal of an e-commerce site anyway? To help customers find what they are looking for. So the moral of the story is, be open to new ideas even if they sound kind of crazy!

Give us Feedback about the new website

We have just launched our new website and are still working out some tweaks. We would love any kind of feedback and/or comments you could offer up to help us improve the design and userability of the site.

Thanks for all the effort and I look forward to all the comments!
