I’ve never used an air purifier before, but this spring I’m getting ahead of the game before the allergy season starts. Although I don’t suffer from springtime allergies myself, one of my sons sneezes as soon as the pollen count rises.It can be a trying time for anyone with springtime allergies. Having waited for the sunnier days and warmer weather to arrive, instead of enjoying the change in season, allergy sufferers are left with itchy eyes and a runny nose.And these allergies can affect you whether you are inside or out, as the natural tendency in spring is to open your windows to let in the fresh air. What’s more, if you suffer from springtime allergies, you’re also more likely to be affected by other offenders, such as dust mites, pet dander and mold spores.
An air purifier helps remove pollen and other allergens from the air in your home, providing relief not just from sneezing but from other symptoms associated with springtime allergies. So apart from the seasonal offenders, an air purifier will also filter out other nasties. Having never chosen an air purifier before, I don’t want to make a mistake when buying an air purifier, so I’ve put together a checklist to outline what to consider.
