Air Purification Tips for Allergy and Asthma Sufferers

Indoor air pollution is a growing concern, especially for allergy and asthma sufferers. According to a study, indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. That means dust, pollen, mould spores, pet dander, and pollutants can easily trigger symptoms. With the right air purification strategy, you can enjoy consistently fresh, clean air at home
 

In this guide, we’ll cover tips to keep the air purified in the right way and recommendations for the best air purifier options.
 

1. Choose a True HEPA Filter
    

   True HEPA H13 filters trap 99.95–99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 µm, including most allergens, dust, and airborne pollutants. Clinical trials confirm that using HEPA purifiers significantly reduces indoor PM2.5 and PM10 levels, which helps decrease allergy medication needs in rhinitis patients.
    

   If you're searching for the best air purifier for dust removal, models with certified True HEPA filters are your most effective defence, especially in allergy-prone environments. Ensure your air purifier has a True HEPA (not “HEPA-type”) filter to guarantee genuine performance.
    

2. Use the Right-Sized Smart Air Purifier
    

   Selecting a purifier that matches your room size ensures full-cycle air filtration. One metric to consider is the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). Forbes has excellent smart air purifier models featuring intelligent sensors that automatically adjust fan speed based on air quality, ensuring efficient, hands-free operation.
    

3. Maximise Air Filtration Coverage
    

   Position your air purifier centrally, away from walls, to maximise 360° air intake. The Surround 360° design of the Forbes models ensures pervasive airflow distribution, even in corners and at different room heights. Monitor air filtration performance via sensors that display real-time PM2.5 levels.
    

4. Complement Air Purification with Hygienic Habits
    

   While air purifiers are effective, their impact increases when paired with smart cleaning habits.
    

   • Ensure the air purifier is kept clean.
   • Use dust mite-proof bedding.
   • Declutter to reduce dust collection.
   • Open windows during low-pollution hours to allow fresh air in without introducing outdoor irritants.
    

5. Maintain and Replace Filters Regularly
    

   Even the best air purifier system underperforms if filters are blocked. True HEPA filters, especially in homes with pets or pollution, should be replaced approximately every 6–12 months or according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
   For systems like the Smart 355 and Smart 500, sensor-driven filter-replacement alerts help you manage maintenance.
    

6. Focus on Allergen Hot-Spots with Smart Purifier Features
    

   To protect allergy and asthma sufferers effectively, it's important to address allergen hot spots, areas where indoor pollutants tend to build up.
    

   • Bedrooms often harbour dust mites in mattresses, pillows, and bedding.
   • Living rooms accumulate pet dander on sofas, carpets, and curtains.
   • Kitchens release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fumes, and lingering odours during cooking.
    

   Place your air purifier close to beds or seating areas in these high-risk zones to ensure it targets the most critical spaces.
    

   To enhance purification, opt for a smart air purifier with:
    

• Auto Mode, which adjusts fan speed based on real-time air quality changes.
• PM2.5 Display, giving continuous indoor air quality updates.
• Wi-Fi control and app integration, allowing remote monitoring and scheduling.
• Sleep Mode to run quietly at night for uninterrupted rest.
   

These features ensure your air purifier works smarter, delivering cleaner air where and when it matters most. If you are looking for smart air purifiers, these are two good options to choose from-
