Unfortunately colder weather can mean an increase in tiny airborne particulates due to heating with fossil fuels and outdoor burning. Winds have also slowed down, trapping airborne pollutants near the ground. To make sure your indoor air is healthy and clean you need an Intellipure portable air purifier. Intellipure's DFS technology uses electronically enhanced filtration to attract and capture ultrafine particles (99.97% filtration down to 0.3 microns). Simply choose an Intellipure portable air purifier for healthy home indoor air quality this holiday season and all year long.
Hidden Allergies
Now that winter is just around the corner it is time to dig out all of those cozy warm sweaters, coats, blankets and hats from last winter. More than likely all those things were carefully packed away in closets and containers when warmer weather rendered them unnecessary. But while you may have washed and carefully packed those items away, nefarious things may have been afoot while they slumbered. Dust mites, mold, and mildew can all sneak into your stowed warm things and wreak havoc on your allergies. So before pulling that sweater over your head or putting that comforter on your bed give them a quick wash to remove anything that might kick off a sneezing fit.
