Did you know that even indoor air contains microorganisms and pollutants like viruses?
Today, air pollution is rising, and a pandemic is knocking on our doors, so clean air is more important now than ever.
As a result of these threats, an air purifier has become an absolute necessity. An air purifier assures pollutant-free air in the home or workplace, and some air purifiers can also remove unpleasant odours.[1]

-
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)An air purifier's CADR indicates how quickly it removes pollutants from a room. This way, to determine how effective an air purifier is, the CADR becomes important.
-
The Size of the RoomIt is recommended that the CADR of your air cleaner should be two-thirds of the room's size. That is why we ask that you buy an air purifier that is suited to the size of your room.
-
The Number of Filters & MaintenanceAn air purifier with more filters will produce more efficient results. But, one should also consider the maintenance of different filters. Generally, HEPA filters should be changed every 6 months, and carbon filters need replacement every 3 months. These filters cost around 3000-5000 rupees.

FAQs about the Air Purifiers
Why do I need an Air Purifier?
Air Purifiers work actively to clean and purify the indoor air. They remove dust particles, pet hair, pollens, bacteria and viruses from the air. Besides this, the air purifiers also remove unpleasant odours from the air and provide a fresh environment to breathe in. That is why, when air pollution is increasing day by day, having an air purifier saves you from inhaling pollutants and creates a safer environment.
Do Air Purifiers work for Covid?
In a home or confined space, air purifiers can help reduce airborne contaminants such as viruses. Our best pick, the Sharp Air Purifier is also certified because of its effectiveness in reducing airborne novel coronavirus because it has the plasmacluster technology. However, keeping in mind ” precaution is better than cure”, we can say that an air-purifier alone is insufficient to save people from COVID-19.
What features do I need on my Air Purifier?
Before investing in an air purifier, check out the features which might be helpful to you. Some of the important features are –
Air Quality Indicators which shows the air quality of your room so that you can turn on or turn the purifier off as per the requirements.

Filter Replacement Indicator which indicates when the filters need to be changed.
Where should I put my Air Purifier?
If you have bought an air purifier for your home, we suggest you to keep it in your bedroom to have a peaceful sleep. You can also keep it in your living room where more people are present.
We also suggest you to place the air purifier as its back faces one of the walls so that the air can be easily circulated in the entire home.
Additionally, the windows of the room in which the air purifier is working should be closed, otherwise, the product will not work efficiently.
Should I sleep with the air purifier on?
Doctors advise people to sleep with the air purifier on because it promotes better breathing while sleeping. Many air purifiers also have a ‘sleep mode’ or ‘night mode’ which you can activate to have a soundless purification while you have a good night’s sleep.
