Ugh, it gets so stuffy in our home! Living in a small, fully-carpeted apartment with three people and dog can make the air quite stale. Through the summer we try to keep the sliding glass door open a little to get some air circulation going. That\u2019s just not an option during the fall and winter though. The outside air gets too cold and we have to close everything up if it rains. That means indoor air quality can suffer.<\/p>\n
Having an air purifier has been lifesaver for us. Unfortunately, we have run into some difficulties with that as well. With the amount of fur Speckles sheds and the unusual amounts of indoor dust that our apartment seems to amass, the filters get crazy full all of the time. It seems that, as soon as I vacuum the filter, the indicators blinks to tell me that I need to do it again. We also have to change all of the filters a couple times a year.<\/p>\n
So what other options are there? At one of the events I attended last month, I was introduced to the Venta Airwasher<\/a>. Instead of just sucking air through a series of filters, the Airwasher does what its name implies and cleans the air using water. Pollen, dander, dust, bacteria, and other particles get trapped in the water while clean air is blown out. Using cold evaporation, the Airwasher doubles as a humidifier by replacing much needed moisture back in the air.<\/p>\n With really only one moving part, set up of the Venta Airwasher is super simple. Just fill with water, add the treatment additive, and turn on. Here, I\u2019ll show you.<\/p>\n
