    Five common myths about air purifiers you should stop believing
  • With such harrowing levels of pollution around us, buying an air purifier is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

    But air purifiers are still pretty unpopular in our country, and people seem to have all sorts of doubts regarding their viability and whether they are worth the price or not.

    Here are five common myths about air purifiers you should stop believing already.

  • In this article
    At high pollution levels, air purifiers are of no use You must remain close to the air purifier Air purifiers only work when doors and windows are closed True test of air-purifier is that it should kill odor Myth 5: Cleaning the filters is good enough
  • Myth 1

    At high pollution levels, air purifiers are of no use

    At high pollution levels, air purifiers are of no use
  • The most ridiculous of all air purifiers-related myths is that indoor air purifiers are of no use since there is no measure to tackle the pollution outside the house.

    But the fact is that indoor air purifiers can help create a protective bubble, in which the pollution level would be considerably lower than that outside of it.

  • Myth 2

    You must remain close to the air purifier

    You must remain close to the air purifier
  • No, this just isn't true. Air purifiers don't work that way.

    In fact, each air purifier comes with its own Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), according to which, it caters to the length and breadth of the entire room of a certain size.

    And, you can be sitting anywhere within that specified area to be able to benefit from the air purifier.

  • Myth 3

    Air purifiers only work when doors and windows are closed

    Air purifiers only work when doors and windows are closed
  • Yes, it is advisable to keep doors and windows mostly closed, when the outdoor pollution levels are bad.

    However, if there is excessive smoke inside, due to cooking/smoking etc., you should consider opening some doors and windows.

    Also, since air purifiers don't remove any carbon dioxide from the surroundings, you must open the doors and windows, from time to time.

  • Myth 4

    True test of air-purifier is that it should kill odor

  • While the level of odor in the room is one way to determine the quality of an air purifier, it's not entirely a foolproof method.

    It totally depends on the kind of filter that your air purifier uses.

    If your air purifier has activated carbon in the filter, it may kill some odor, otherwise air purifiers aren't really meant to remove any odors.

  • Information

    Myth 5: Cleaning the filters is good enough

  • Brushing the outside surface of your air purifier's filter can help remove outer dust and particles to some extent, but the particles trapped inside will continue to reduce the effectiveness of the purifier. Hence, it is advisable to get the filters replaced frequently.
