Even though there are lots of purifiers available on the market today, not very many of them claim to eliminate pet urine odor. But here are 7 answers that will help you choose a cleaner that will get rid of urine odor for good.
Can one purifier clean odor from different species of pets? Regardless of who you love-bird, cat, dog, ferret, bunny or any other warm blooded pet, a filter with the proper make up can clear away urine odor from them all. Look for a filter that uses ammonasorb, as it has proven to be the most effective filter against pet urine odor.
What is the best way to determine if it will eliminate odor? Read the technical specifications carefully to confirm that the manufacturer intends for the unit to be used to eliminate pet odor. You can also take a look at an online owner's manual for the cleaner to answer other questions about how the unit works. And a money back guarantee will give you an opportunity to try it in your space without losing your money.
How many fan speeds should it have? Be able to control the filtration speed of the unit is a must. Having a unit that is unable to increase or decrease its cleaning speed is less than helpful on days when you need clean air faster. 3 speeds-low, medium, and high will give you the most flexibility and let you determine how many times the air in your home is cleaned each hour.
Is it possible to get one purifier that does pet hair and dander as well as odor? If the unit contains a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter in addition to the inner filter that eliminates odor, it will remove airborne pet hair and dander as small as .3 microns in size. And being a pet lover, you know that this is an important option to have.
Opting for a unit that has a HEPA filter will eliminate the need for multiple purifiers. And one purifier means one filter change, and will require less of your time, money, and space in your home.
What is the safest material for the cleaner to be made of and why? Powder coated steel is best for several reasons. First, steel will not off gas harmful fumes when the motor heats up as do some units made of plastic. And having a steel unit means that it is virtually impossible for pet to chew, break off, or swallow small pieces from the unit which could injure your pet or prove fatal.
How often should we expect the filter to need changing? This is a crucial piece of information to know before you purchase the purifier. Frequent filter changes can add tremendous expense to running the purifier.
Opt for a filter that can last for 5 years, and one that carries a prorated warranty of 5 years as well. A prorated filter warranty (and these a rare find) means that should your filter malfunction, or fill up because it has done an effective job of clearing your air, you will avoid paying full price for the filter as long as you are within the 5 year warranty period.
What's a good warranty period? The length of the warranty is in direct proportion to the manufacturer's confidence in its product. A hefty warranty is an indication that the manufacturer will stand behind any malfunction.
With a long term guarantee, chances are you won't have any problems with the purifier. A 5 year warranty is a great indication that your purifier will do the job effectively for many years to come.
