Indoor air quality has become an increasing concern across the globe. From seasonal haze and traffic pollution to cooking fumes, dust and pet dander, many households are turning to air purifiers to create a cleaner and healthier living environment.
However, buying an air purifier is only part of the solution. Where you place it can significantly affect how well it performs. If you are using the BEYOND MICROPLASMA Air Purifier, these 5 tips can help you maximise its effectiveness and enjoy cleaner indoor air every day.
Place It Where You Spend the Most Time
The best place for an air purifier is usually the room where family members spend the most time. For many, this is often:
- The bedroom
- The living room
- A home office or study area
Keep It Away from Walls and Obstructions
Air purifiers need enough space to draw in polluted air and release cleaner air back into the room. Placing the unit too close to walls, furniture, or other objects can restrict airflow and reduce purification efficiency.
Decorative plants, shelves, and other objects can also block the air intake and air outlet, preventing the purifier from circulating air effectively.
So, avoid placing your air purifier:
- Directly against a wall
- Behind a sofa
- Inside cabinets
- Between large pieces of furniture
- Behind curtains or room dividers
Place It Near Common Sources of Indoor Pollution
Many indoor pollutants originate from specific areas within the home, which are:
- Kitchens where cooking fumes are generated
- Areas where pets spend most of their time
- Entryways where outdoor dust enters
- Rooms facing busy roads with vehicle emissions
- Areas affected by seasonal haze
By positioning the purifier closer to pollution sources, airborne contaminants can be filtered before they spread throughout the home.
Position It Closer to Windows During Haze Season
During periods of haze or poor outdoor air quality, many pollutants enter the home through windows, doors and small gaps around the building.
- Placing the air purifier near the main source of incoming air can help capture airborne particles before they spread throughout the room.
- During haze episodes, keeping doors and windows closed while operating the purifier can further improve indoor air quality.
Match the Placement to the Room Layout
Every home has a different layout. Open-concept apartments, landed homes, condominiums, and office spaces all have unique airflow patterns. So, when selecting a location, consider:
- Room size
- Furniture arrangement
- Occupancy levels
- Sources of pollution
- Airflow direction
A centrally located position often provides the most balanced air circulation and purification performance
