Allergies/just say no to daily dusting

[Guest guest]

Looking for ways to cut down on dust? We have just converted to a no-

carpet household and so far are loving it.

We are using one small air purifier. We dont have many knick-knacks and

aim to clean our air filters as often as possible. Wondering how much

the air purifiers *really work* -- such as the Ionic Breeze. Does

anyone recommend these or find them worth the cost?

 

Thanks,

Jennifer

find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my

mind was all undusted still, and threw them out the window in

disgust. " - Henry David Thoreau, " Walden "

We use an aircleaner on each floor of our townhouse.

We clean our filters every 2 weeks. As we live in a

windy area above a gulley...we are still forced to

dust. So we use those dusting rags that are magnetic

to dust and have a vaccum with triple filters

including a HEPA. This at least catches the return air

and is cleaner than most vaccums.

 

The best aircleaner we have used is Orrek. Ionic

Breeze is THE worst one. You want you that will move

the air. One that will draw the air in and filter it

out,not just sit there. As you run cleaners 24/7 it

important to find one that is heavy duty.

 

As far as carpeting goes... we have found that

commercial or carpeting(the type made for kitchens),

that is glued down is better than regular carpet over

padding. We still have carpet for sound proofing and

insulation. Even with bare floors, you still have to

dust.

That is a matter of opinion, I have used oreck and I have 2 ionic breeze gp

in my house and would not be without them, we take one with us when we

travel. My cousin has one upstairs and downstairs, we both have many pets,

kids etc and no smell. I recommend the ionic breeze over oreck any day. Do

you have documented data on the statement " Ionic breeze is THE worst one " .

I would love to see it. My brother ordered one for his wife who suffers

from asthma and she is doing much better. Thanks Kathy

You're correct it is a matter of opinion. The person I

responded to asked for an opionion and I gave mine. We

also deal with asthma in our home and have found the

Ionic Breeze to be less effective and the Oreck to be

better for us...so yes it is a matter of opionion and

how you use your machine.

 

No need to attack or be nasty about a thing...it's

just an opionion......

This is not about dust. A lot of people keep their windows closed

for a few weeks or even months during winter. Never have air

circulated with that outside the house. In my opinion, opening all

windows in your house for about 20 mins every a few days or once a

week is much better than any purifier.

I was not being nasty, you stated it was the worst and I thought maybe you

had some documentation, it was a really strong opinion. Thanks Kathy
