Cat allergies and Air Filters?
So my girlfriend has two cats that are driving my allergies nuts. I’ve seen the ads for air purifiers that are suppost to help this kind of thing, but I’m kind of sceptical about shelling out 0 for an air filter without a fan.
So anyway, has anyone with pet allergies tried one of these new fangled HEPA/Ionized Air filters, do they work well on cat allergies? and is there a type or brand that you’d recommend?
Any other tips on treating cat allergies?

Anyone have suggestions on the best air purifier for a smoke filled home?
I’m 28 an have been living in this house for most of my life. I moved out to live with boyfriends and what not, but for the most part have lived here. My uncle (who chain smokes) and my grandfather (who smokes cigars) has lived here the whole time I’ve been here, and before my mom and grandmother passed away they also smoked and lived here. Needless to say I’ve always got my fair share of 2nd hand smoke. I’m starting to get a cough now that I never had before, and I am wondering what is a good air filter for smoke? I have TWO air purifiers in my room that I have to constantly clean, of course one is old and the other is the ionic pro but with the smoke in this house it gets dirty SO fast I have to clean it every week.
I even have a filter type material double layered over my air vent but mostly that just keeps out dust, doesn’t work too well on smoke ;(
Some of you might say "well your 28, just move out" yea I wish I could..but I cant I because I’m taking care of my 81 year old grandfather who has cancer (he says cigars are his only "vice" and let me tell you, he smokes ALL day)
PLEASE I need advice on a good air purifier that’s affordable like 0 or under that is good for smoke & not just dust & allergens..any advice will be appreciated. I’m tired of not being able to breathe ;(
Does a split AC get fresh air from outside?
Hi,
I am planning to buy ’split AC’ to avoid dust and vehicle pollution(b’cos my house on a busy street) coming into the house. please clarify the following doubts.
1. if we have a 10×10 feet room with all windows and doors closed. With 1 person inside for how many hours will the room have breathable air(oxygen)? (for e.g 10 hours after which the person will die due to lack of oxygen)
2. will a split AC get ‘fresh air’ from outside every couple of hours OR will i have to open the windows to get the fresh air?
3. If i need to open the windows to get the fresh air, how frequently should i open the windows?
4. to prevent vehicle pollution from entering the house how good should the ‘air filter’ be? 10 micron , 5 microns filter?
5. Actually temperature is not a problem usually the temperature is very pleasant, so am i better off just buying a ‘air purifier’ rather than an ‘AC’?
Choice between air purifiers – Blueair or Air Lights?
Hi all – I’m looking to buy an air purifier for my bedroom (just over 150 sq.ft.), to help reduce dust, airborne allergens, etc. My mother smokes a lot, which also doesn’t help. Having been diagnosed with a (very) minor, restrictive lung disease, I’d like to start taking better care of my health – especially in regards to respiration. We do have the general air filter attached to the A/C / heating unit, but I would like something more.
Doing some research, I thought I would just get the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze, but have read many terrible things about it – specifically, the ozone produced is VERY bad for your health. Looking around, I found the Blueair 250E Digital Air Purifier (http://www.achooallergy.com/blueair250eairpurifier.asp#product_reviews) and the Air Lights Plasma Air Purifier (http://reviews.ebay.com/Review-of-the-Air-Lights-Plasma-Air-Purifier_W0QQugidZ10000000002480036).
I’m leaning towards the Blueair, but would like others input and suggestions!
The Best Whole House Air Cleaner
We just had this air purifier installed today with a new furnace and AC. The filter on this IQAir filter is supposed to last 3 years and it produces absolutely no Ozone which was not the case for the other whole house air filters we evaluated. I’ll let you know if my allergies get better after installing this filter after the first month, second month, and so on. The filter is actually supposed to get better as time goes on. Don’t ask me how that works.
Can air purifiers (ionic) make allergies worse?
When I first started getting some allergies (sinus and skin) I bought an air filter with an ionic feature. I proceeded to have super bad allergies for the last 6 months, they just kept getting worse and worse, I stopped using it for over a month while waiting to get a replacement filter (rinsed it under water instead of vacuuming it out, oops) and didn’t get better. Then I found out I had a dust mite allergies and after eradicating my home of dust on a weekly basis felt much better for the last three weeks.
Well my replacement filter came and I started using my air purifier 4 days ago, all of my sinus allergies are back in full force.
Can part of my allergies be from the filter or ionic setting?
best air filter for pet hair/dander?
I have a white dog, mutt, part husky.. and her fur gets everywhere. it’s not even summer yet, so it’s only going to get much worse. i vacuum every day. it still gets on/under/behind furniture, behind things, etc. Is there a good air filter/purifier that I can buy to hopefully suck up some of that airborne fur before it sticks to carpet/furniture? and i know pet dander is invisible and gets in the air and on stuff too, so i’d feel better if i had an air filter running. I can’t spend much more than 0 on this filter.
Can you use an air cleaner/purifier while also using aromatherapy?
I love using aromatherapy (but very new to it) and currently I am using a small glass dish with a tea-light to heat the oils. Now I want to get an air filter/purifier to clean the air in my home office (where I also use the aromatherapy oils). When I use the air cleaner/purifier, will it "clean" the scent of my aromatherapy, basically making it useless and a waste to heat the oils?
Help choosing an Air Filter / Purifier?
I need an air filter/purifier for a 200 square foot room (12′x17′x9′). The sole purpose is to reduce dust. Healthy air is nice (a bonus), but it’s not my real concern… it’s dust.
This will be for a recording studio, so it needs to be quite.
I’ve spent about an hour doing research, and all I’ve been able to learn is that everyone says the Ionic Breeze is a scam (including studies who ran tests to see if it works, and the results showed it doesn’t), and there are hundreds and hundreds to choose from… too many choices… too much to learn… not enough time.
What should I get?
My budget is up-to 0
Are there Air Purifiers with reusable filters?
I have owned the honeywell brand air filter and it was decent at cleaning the dust out of the air. Has anyone used an air purifier with reusable, cleanable/washable filters? If so which one(s)? I am looking for an air purifier that effectively removes/reduces the spring time pollen and dust from the air in my living space.
The only other way I have found is Obsessive Compulsive dusting and vacuum rituals by the hour. My kitty really hates the twice daily vacuum routine.
air filter/purifier – need help!?
i am looking for a good recomendation for a air filter/purifier. i know this is crazy, but i heard about one that will turn on when someone in the room ‘farts’. i need it for odor, mold, pet dander and everything else. i have a newborn, and i live next to a person who has a moldy house.
dust dust dust … how can it be???
we live in a 10 acre field away from the major road. the whole yard even the drive way is grass, not dirt. we have a humidifier, air filter and change air filter regularly, and we dust once a week. But our house looks like it hasn’t been dusted for months two days later.
why is it? what am i doing wrong or is there something i can do to reduce dust? i’m going crazy because i’ve tried dusting every other day even with a damp cloth so dust won’t spread in the air while i’m doing it, the next day, there it is. we vacuum once or sometimes twice a week and mop floors once a week, and like i said, we have air purifier and humidifier. i’m not exagerating, i’ve never seen a house get sooo dusty so fast like ours. please give me some advice.
please don’t waste your time answering if you don’t have the answer.
thank you in addvance for your honest informative answers. :>
we don’t have pets, our doors kept close because we like ac when it’s hot and heater when it’s cold

Anyone here with pets, and uses some kind of air filter that works?
My puppy is semi-trained to use pee pads, because there’s no way for her to take her potty breaks outside. I replace the pee pads frequently, but I’d still like to keep the air a bit fresher in the apartment.
Does anyone know of an air filter or purifier that keeps pet odors at bay?
Thanks : )
Questions about HVAC!?
I need someone is knowledgeable about HVAC. Since,when a contractor suggest something for the HVAC,I can’t tell if they are being helpful or trying to make more money off of me and I will lose in the end.
1.I was wondering about getting a new air cleaner/purifier since my dad is using a standard air filter,but my mom and me have allergies,but my dad tend to forget things like to change the air filter every month or so…
So,is it a good choice for me to get the Infinity Air Purifier and it claim that I need no cleaning at all,but I need your guys’ insight?
Here is the link:Air Cleaners – Carrier
How about Carrier humidifiers,ventilators,and UV lamps? Review(s)?
2.As a homeowner,are you suppose to have the original copy of the permit or no?
When do you know that you need to get a permit?
3.What do you guys mean that the brands of furnace are the same,as in the same company build different brands or the sneaky contractor put a sticker on it and call it that?
4.So,if a labor warranty is 5 years,then the company that built the furnace or whatever will pay the contractor for the labor,correct?
Air-Purifiers/filters?
Hi guys… I want to buy and air purifying system that works indoors either with open or closed windows, but I was wondering is air filtration in AC’s are as efficient as stand-alone air filters (air purifiers)? if they are the same then I think having and AC with air filter will be economically worth it but if not then I prefer to go for the best standalone filter
Can you substitute generic filters for those expensive ones required in Air Purifiers?
My mother-in-law gave me two old air purifiers and is it really hard to find filters for them and they are very, very expensive. Can I use a generic furnace type air filter instead?
Is Apatite a safe material to be used on air purifier filters?
I learned that the Sharp air purifiers’ HEPA filters have an Apatite component to it that apparently provides antibacterial properties to protect the filters from microbial accumulation. Is Apatite a relatively "safe" material to use for an air filter, i.e. is it safe for the resident who is breathing air that comes through the filter? Apatite (a very general term) is usually made up of phosphorus and calcium, but some variants (ie. arsenates like mimemite) may contain arsenic. Could this be a health issue for users? Would the filters use arsenic-based variants in the first place, or are other forms more prevalent and likely to be used in medical/industrial applications?
