If you've determined that your cat is one of the main triggers for your allergy, using an air purifier to keep allergens low is the most effective solution to the problem. In order to choose the right cleaner, it should have the following 5 features. Bringing home a unit with anything less would be a waste of time and money.
HEPA Filtration---One of the most potent allergens your cat produces is the protein in the dander. Dander is microscopic in size but it packs a powerful punch to those with allergies. Sneezing, congestion watering eyes, coughing and a constricted throat can all result when dander levels are high.
A high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter is just what the doctored ordered. It is designed to remove particles as small as .3 microns in size with a micron being described as one millionth of a meter.
This type of filter will easily remove dander as well as allergens such as bacteria, viruses, mold and mildew spores, dust, and dust mites. It is because of its efficiency that this technology is used in hospitals to insure clean air.
Carbon Cloth Filter---While cat-related pollutants may be the primary source of your allergy problems, flare-ups are often caused by a combination of triggers including smoke, odors, and airborne chemicals and scents from household, personal, and cleaning products.
Originally invented by the British Military as protection against chemical warfare, this type of filter serves a dual purpose. Not only can it remove gaseous allergy triggers, but gives additional protection against particles because it is woven like cloth.
24 Hour Operation---Keeping allergen levels low helps you avoid the triggers. It is essential that any cleaner be able to run safely and effectively all the time. That is the only way to insure that irritants never rise to a level that will trigger an attack. This literally keeps the dander down!
A split capacitor is the kind of motor the purifier needs to be able to do this. Look in the technical specifications or the owner's manual to confirm that this is the type the purifier has.
360 Degree Intake---A unit that can pull air in from all sides is a huge advantage. This gives you flexibility in terms of placement. Rather than need to be put in the center of the room you can put it as close as 6 inches to any surface and have it still function at 100% efficiency.
Casters---You've probably been told to keep your feline friend out of the bedroom. But if this is a long standing tradition you may not be heeding the advice you've been given.
A purifier with wheels that can roll effortlessly over any surface is a huge advantage. This would allow you to roll the cleaner into your bedroom at night which would help keep the allergens low and allow your friend to stay in the bedroom with you. Just a thought.
