It’s terrible to get sick with a cold, flu, or COVID. But it’s even worse to watch your loved ones suffer through being ill! And of course, if there was something you could do to prevent them from being exposed to all those extra winter germs, you’d want to know all about it, right? Well, we have a way to keep your family safe from the threat of constant cold-and-flu-season illnesses. It’s an air purifier! Here’s how it works.
The Cleansing Power of Light
It’s always good to avoid unnecessary exposure to chemicals like bleach and other disinfectants. And simple light can do a lot of disinfecting all by itself! At a specific frequency, light can kill germs. It’s absolutely incredible! Ultraviolet light, at the very end of the visible spectrum, is so powerful that it can penetrate the outer structure of tiny microbes and pathogens and get right inside them.
With your skin, the most you’ll get from exposure to light is a sunburn. But the little nasties which give you illnesses don’t have any skin. UV light in an air purifier can literally take apart these germs on a molecular level, leaving them scrambled like microscopic eggs, unable to infect anyone.
The Benefits of Cleaner Air
When you’re breathing air that’s been sanitized by a UV air purifier, you’ll have many fewer days spent either home sick yourself or home to care for a sick family member—either way, you’ll miss less work and spend fewer potential vacation days feeling miserable. You’ll also spend less money on doctor’s visits and medications.
But it goes far beyond that! Other benefits to your wellbeing include fewer headaches, lowered frequency of asthma attacks, less suffering with allergy symptoms, and—remarkably—fewer days spent in bad moods! That might be due to the fact that breathing cleaner air helps you to sleep better at night and have more energy during the day.
There are even benefits around the house, beyond just your health. Did you know that unpleasant smells are caused by actual molecules floating through the air? Yes, when you catch a whiff of dirty sweat socks, there are bacteria that grew on someone’s feet making their way up your nose! Yuck. Killing those germs with an air purifier will make your home smell fresher all the time.
And you’ll even have less mold growing in your home! Mold grows where there is a friendly and welcoming environment for it, where it’s dark and damp. That’s why it loves places like your shower stall, or that bread at the back of the breadbox. But how does it get there? Spores are released by molds, and they float through the air until they land and start growing a new colony. Eliminate mold by eliminating the spores straight from your air.
