Air Purifiers

Asthma & Allergies

Over 22 million Americans suffer from asthma and millions more have regularly occurring allergies*. So it’s important to combat allergens such as dust, mold and pollen by keeping the air in your home clean and clear. This can be easily accomplished by using an air purifier with a HEPA filter, which removes up to 99.97% of airborne particles and allergens.

Household Pets

Animal dander can be a significant allergy trigger and you may not even know it’s around. Dander can remain in your home for years, even after an animal is gone. Using an air purifier can greatly reduce the amount of pet dander in your home and the symptoms it may cause.

Secondhand Smoke

Like dust and the gasses and fumes from new household products, tobacco smoke is an indoor air pollutant that can greatly affect air quality. Air purifiers like the Lowe’s new Idylis™ family of air purification products can greatly improve indoor air quality by reducing the harmful chemicals and the unpleasant odor smoke leaves behind - making your home environment healthier.

Old Home vs. New Home

It doesn’t matter whether you live in a vintage Victorian or a modern townhome, there can still be a variety of pollutants affecting your air quality. Sure, most people know that older homes contain dust and mold, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that new construction homes also contain harmful odors and toxins. Things like the new walls, carpeting and treated wood in new homes can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Harmful chemicals like formaldehyde are also found in new homes. Since new homes are tightly sealed, it’s important to take time to let fumes and gasses dilute before moving in by cracking a few windows in the home. To provide a long-term remedy for indoor air quality, make sure your home is properly ventilated and use an air purifier with a HEPA air filter to help ensure the air in your home is cleaner - no matter how new or old it is.
