As a bit of a germaphobe, cold and flu season is not a time of the year I am particularly fond of, but that also means that I am well versed in the many ways to keep the doctor away.
One of the best ways is by cleaning your air. We wash our hands and disinfect our surfaces, but airborne particles are a whole other beast. Since you can't pump Lysol through your HVAC—or even if you could, it's probably worse than the sickness you were trying to prevent—an air purifier is the way to go. And right now, Amazon is holding a sale on the Morento Air Purifier which you can currently purchase for only $33—that's 67% off!
Morento Air Purifier, $33 (was $100) at Amazon
This purifier is small but powerful, so while it won't take up a lot of space, it can make any room easier to breathe in. Not only does it filter out sickness causing viruses, but it also significantly decreases the presence of allergens such as dust, mold, pollen, fur, and dander.
"As a pet owner, I especially love the pet dander filter," said one shopper. " It effectively traps pet hair and neutralizes odors, making my space feel so much fresher."
The HEPA filter lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months, and the purifier can be left on all day, in which case it will purify the air five times every hour. It also has an aromatherapy element that allows you to add your favorite essential oils for a relaxing scent.
It runs at a level that is quieter than a whisper, and allows you to adjust the levels to your needs.
"It is very easy to operate and the instructions are clear and concise. The controls are well-placed and easy to operate," said one shopper. "I've also noticed an immediate improvement in air quality over the few days I have been running it continuously. It is very quiet and I can easily forget that it is there running and doing its job."
This sale won't last long, so get the deal before it's gone!
