Air purifiers are great at trapping the dust, pollen, and pet hair floating around your home. Have you ever wondered, though, what happens to all those tiny particles? Once these particles enter your air purifier, they become trapped in your air purifier's filter. Over time these particles can build up and decrease the overall efficiency of the air purifier. When your air purifier doesn't run at its best, it doesn't work as well at cleaning your air. In addition, it can also result in your purifier breaking down sooner than it otherwise would have. The lifespan of air purifier filters varies greatly depending on the type of filter and the type of air purifier you have. Some filters are permanent or what's known as a lifetime filter. These specific types of filters usually last the life of the appliance but may need periodic cleaning to keep them running efficiently.
