Fresh air is scarce, much worse, and non-existent in urban areas filled with smog. You can only breathe them in places far away from pollution and near nature. But you can have clean air indoors with a home air purifier. 

What an air purifier does is suck air and let it pass through various layers of filter to trap impurities, such as pet dander, dust, toxins from smoke, and even bacteria and viruses. Some can even eliminate odour from the air. Combining a home air purifier with an air spray disinfectant would definitely make your indoor air clean and virus free!

But where are the most strategic locations to place your home air purifier?

1. NEVER IN THE CORNERS

The general rule in air purifiers is never to place them near walls. Walls block the airflow, therefore, the air purifier sucks less air. Corners have the lowest airflow in the house. Most importantly, two walls block your home air purifier if you place them in the corners. 

As much as possible, place your home air purifier in an open space where it has access to airflow. That way, you can maximise the filtering capability of your home air purifier.

2. NEVER NEAR THE APPLIANCES

Avoid placing your home air purifier near your radio, TV, and computers. Putting your home air purifier near these appliances may cause interference and static noises. The rule of thumb is home purifiers must be at least two metres away from these electronic devices to avoid interference.

3. NEVER NEAR HUMID AREAS

Avoid placing your home air purifier near humid areas, such as the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area. When there is excessive moisture, it makes the air heavier, and the airflow is not efficient. Filters don’t perform well in the humid air.

4. NEVER NEAR FURNITURE

Like walls, furniture can obstruct the airflow, reducing the efficiency of your home air purifier. Remove any obstacles around your home air purifier to enhance the airflow.

5. PLACE IT NEAR THE POLLUTANTS

The best location to place your air purifier is in areas where there is a high concentration of pollutants. For instance, if you smoke a cigarette in your home office, you should have an air purifier in the office. If you are living near an industrial area, you can place your home air purifier near the windows and doors where pollutants enter the house. 

6. PLACE IT A LITTLE OFF THE GROUND

Yes, you can place your home air filter directly on the ground, but if you want to maximise efficiency, it is better to put it on a three-foot-high table or stand.

This position allows the air purifier to capture horizontal and vertical air movement. Some manufacturers sell wall-mounted air purifiers in the market. You can try these air filters if you have limited space.

In addition to air spray disinfectant, a home air purifier can ensure your indoor air is clean to breathe in.
