With the increasing array of available mediums to keep homes energy-efficient, today's home can become an attractive breeding ground for allergens and respiratory irritants. From pet dander to chemical products like colognes and perfumes, airtight environments hinder inside air impurities from being easily circulated out of your indoor living space.

Perhaps surprisingly, the bedroom is one of the most common places for allergens to develop and accumulate. After all, one-third of the average American's life is spent in the bedroom! What if you could take preventive measures, avoiding the development of future health problems? The Ionic Breeze air purifier does just that -- it works with you to create a healthy environment.

Working Together to Cleanse Your Environment

Think of yourself and your Ionic Breeze air purifier as working together in a partnership. In a bedroom where allergens accumulate quickly, it is important to do what you can to reduce this accumulation. Items in the bedroom such as bedding and mattresses need to be washed regularly, ensuring that dust mites and bacteria don't have time to grow. One optimal way of reducing this potential accumulation even further is to purchase hypo-allergenic pillows and comforters, which contain antimicrobial fibers that inhibit bacterial growth.

Also, don't forget to vacuum! Vacuuming should be done regularly, and if you are using vacuum bags, be sure to replace the bag before it is full. If you find that vacuuming is simply too much of a hassle, replacing carpets with hardwood flooring will go that extra mile in preventing allergen accumulation in the first place. However, please do keep in mind that vacuuming stirs up allergen particles in the process, so it might be helpful for sensitive cleaners to protect themselves with a small mask.

What about the air purifier? Here's where the Ionic Breeze purifier goes to work for you: when the dust is stirred, the Ionic Breeze air purifier will remove those hazardous particles from your air supply, keeping your bedroom and household clean and healthy. You should also remember to wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth after vacuuming, and remove or clean bi-weekly those items which tend to accumulate dust quickly, such as window drapes and cloth toys.

It's also a good idea to keep windows closed during the early morning hours, the time of day when plants release the most pollen. If you are outside working in the garden, be sure to wear separate clothes that can be washed upon reentering the house.

Using these preventive cautions, you and the Ionic Breeze air purifier can work together to create a safe and healthy atmosphere for you and your family!
