Coronavirus Tips: Keep Your Air Clean With These Air Purifiers
One of the best ways to keep the coronavirus pandemic from infecting you and those around you is by regularly cleaning and disinfecting your home, office and other frequently-visited spaces. However, there is one thing that is often overlooked as a result: the air. How can you clean and disinfect spaces effectively if you cannot breathe properly as a result of dust, smoke, allergies and other air pollutants?
This is where air purifiers come in. They help make sure that the air you breathe indoors is clean. Of course, not all of them are made equal.
It is also important to note that since COVID-19 is not airborne, air purifiers are not guaranteed to save you from the virus. Still, they do help improve your overall health in the long run. Here are some of the best options for air purifiers on the market right now:
