Furry pets can bring us warmth and companionship, but at the same time they can also cause annoyance, such as the three most typical problems: pet hair, allergens, and odor.
It is unrealistic to rely on air purifiers to purify pet hair.
Pet hair will fall off at any time, and often appear in flakes and clusters. Air purifiers cannot purify these huge hairs, including small fluffs floating in the air.
On the contrary, if these hairs enter the interior of the air purifier, it will cause the blockage of the air inlet and the filter element, which will greatly reduce the purification efficiency and affect the air purification effect.
However, if there are people who are prone to allergies at home, you need to use a vacuum cleaner with caution, because while the vacuum cleaner absorbs pet hair, it will also make the pet allergens attached to the hair diffuse into the air with the airflow, affecting people with allergies.
But air purifiers have a very important role for families with pets-to purify pet allergens.
Many people think that pet allergies are caused by pet hair, which is actually a misunderstanding.
What really causes allergies is actually an extremely tiny protein. The cat allergen protein Fel d is present in the cat’s hair, dander, saliva and excrement, and will be dispersed into the air in large quantities with daily activities such as pet shedding, licking, sneezing, and excretion.
Compared with the pet hair that can be seen with the naked eye, pet dander and aerosol particles carrying a large number of allergenic proteins are often only tens of microns or even a few microns in size. These tiny allergens can be suspended in the air for a long time. Enter the human body through inhalation and skin contact, causing allergic reactions.
And air purifiers can just purify these extremely small allergens.
Usually, the allergens are adsorbed and dried through the filter/filter element, so that they remain inside the purifier (but be careful to replace the filter regularly, otherwise once the filter is saturated, the allergens will re-disperse into the air.)
Or the air purifier with ion purification technology can accurately capture the allergens in the air by releasing a large number of positive and negative ions instantly, and push them to the collection wall at high speed.
pet odor
The odor produced by pets is actually due to the well-developed sebaceous glands and sweat glands on their ears, inside of paws, tail base, around the anus and other body parts, which will produce a large amount of secretions during activities, which will be decomposed by microorganisms. Odor formation. Usually these microorganisms will multiply faster in an environment with a temperature higher than 25°C and a humidity higher than 70%, so the smell on pets in summer will be particularly strong.
These fungi and microorganisms are the source of the odor, and the air purifier can continuously purify, suck the smelly air into the machine, and remove the fungus, bacteria and other microorganisms through purification and activated carbon adsorption, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating odor .
Therefore, air purifiers are still very suitable for families with pets. With regular cleaning, bathing pets, etc., the indoor air becomes fresh and healthy, which is very important for caring for the health of family members and pets. benefit.
Here we recommend an air purifier with both air purification and sterilization to meet the needs of multi-level air purification. For the elderly, children and people who are sensitive to air quality who live in the same room with pets, it provides comprehensive air safety protection, enhances indoor cleanliness, and improves happiness.
