Several years back I had a problem with a lot of dust flying about in my apartment so I decided to get myself a Levoit Hepa air purifier.

Within a day of using my air purifier, I noticed a huge difference in the amount of dust I could see flying around in the air. There was also an improvement in the overall smell as we have a puppy. I found the odours linger a lot less with the use of my purifier.

What is an air purifier?

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air Purifiers) are devices designed to remove dust, contaminants and other nasties from the air in order to help improve the quality that we breathe within our homes. The use of them aid in easing allergy symptoms, remove pet odours and have many other health benefits

How much dust did my Air purifier collect?

I change my filter every six months. Each time I replace it, I am very surprised to see the big grey slab of dust sitting on the filter! Checkout my video above where I show you my air purifier and demonstrate how I replace my filter.

I am really impressed with this technology and so decided to do a bit more research on how they work, here’s what I found:

How to check if your air purifier is working?

You can check if your air purifier is working by checking the filter indicator on your device if it features one or checking the filter manually. This enables you to literally see the amount of dust collected by the purifier.

To take it a step further you may decide to invest in a air pollution sensor

Conclusion

A good air purifier can do an excellent job in reducing dust particles in the air and overall make your air feel cleaner. I would recommend using them alongside regular dusting, wiping, mopping and vacuuming for best results.
