If you own an air purifier in your home, it is crucial to care for and maintain it to ensure it remains in good working condition. Regularly cleaning the air purifier filter is particularly important as it helps ensure that the air in your house is always filtered clean, promoting comfort and safety for your family’s health. This article will provide simple methods for cleaning the air purifier filter at home to help keep the machine operating effectively.
1. Why must you clean the air purifier filter?
1.1. Reduces the risk of allergies and illnesses
The air purifier’s filter helps remove dust particles, bacteria, viruses and other allergens in the air. However, when the filter is clogged, toxic agents will not be filtered out of the air and can be harmful to human health, especially for people with asthma or allergies. Therefore, cleaning the air purifier filter regularly will reduce the risk of allergies and diseases.
1.2. Increase the lifespan of the machine
When the air purifier’s filter is cleaned regularly, it becomes unclogged and air can pass through more easily. This helps the machine operate more efficiently and increase its lifespan.
