Air purifiers can remove pet dander and other contaminants from the indoor air in your home. An air purifier draws air into the unit and filters it to remove pollutants and allergens before releasing it into the room. These appliances are especially beneficial for anyone suffering from allergies and asthma.

Room-level purifiers are available for well under $100, while whole-house units can cost up to several thousand.

Ozone does remove smoke smells, and it can be a powerful tool in eliminating stubborn odors from house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke in your living space. Ozone or O3 is a highly reactive gas that “donates” its extra oxygen molecule to odor-causing organic compounds. The oxidation process can reduce or even eliminate those compounds’ odors, with oxygen being the primary byproduct.

If you have a lot of dust in your home, an air purifier can help draw dust, pet dander, and pollen out of the air and trap it in a filter. Air purifiers are especially nice if you have allergies or lots of pets as air purifiers that use a HEPA filter can reduce allergens by up to 99.7%.
