Eliminating pet odor can be as difficult as putting shoes on a running horse. Many times inappropriate elimination happens while you are away or not looking. This makes it difficult to properly deal with the problem.
Using an air purifier for pet odor lets you stay ahead of the embarrassing smells that can result from inappropriate elimination, and here are 5 features an air purifier must have it if it to be effective.
Variable Fan Speed-Being able to control the rate of filtration is important. On a normal day, the low speed may do just fine. But on days when one mistake or multiple mistakes occur, you may need to increase the rate of filtration. A cleaner that allows you to adjust the rate at which the air is cleaned is a smart choice and gives you the most options for keeping air quality high.
Split Capacitor Motor-This type of motor is designed to run 24 hours a day safely and effectively. Being able to have the air cleaned continually is the best way to keep odor under control. And not having to remember to cut the purifier on and off because of safety reasons is a great convenience. Having the purifier on continuously eliminates surges of power use, saves energy and money, and assures that your smells fresh and clean regardless of what has happened there while you were away.
Effective Filter for Odor-Make sure it has a filter that is specifically designed for odor removal, and more specifically for removal of pet urine odor. This means you're covered for whatever kind of odor your pet produces. And should you decide to increase the number of pets you have, your air quality does not need to suffer because of it.
Flexible Placement-Your purifier should be able to take a back seat to your home decor by needing only a few inches of clearance from any wall. Avoid cleaners that must be placed in the center of the room to operate effectively. This flexibility is important because it allows you to use your floor space as you choose.
HEPA Filter-Even though you are probably most interested in removing odor, airborne pet hair and dander are probably also concerns. HEPA technology will remove not only pet hair and dander but other airborne particles such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores as well as airborne bacteria and viruses .3 microns. This means you can effectively remove both odors and particles from the air with one cleaner rather than having to purchase multiple cleaners. This saves money and space.
The added bonus of this type of filtration is that not only will it eliminate pet related particulates, but normal household particles that are airborne such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria and viruses. This type of filter makes your home a healthier place for both you and your pets.
