124 Products found for this categoryHaving a clean home is important to me. I spend time daily tidying up and completing various cleaning chores around the house. Call me crazy, but I find it relaxing. Most of all, I love how a clean home feels. My house is even cleaner than normal these days. It’s not because I’m doing any extra tasks or hired a housekeeper. It’s all thanks to my new Oreck Air Refresh 2-in-1 Air Purifier. It gives our family the best of two worlds: cleaner air to breathe and relief from dryness with the help of the ultrasonic humidifier. It’s designed to work best in smaller rooms like bedrooms, nurseries or small living rooms up to 115 square feet. Mine is currently set up in the living room where my “home office” is located. It comes with a HEPA Media filter that captures 99% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns from the air that passes through the filter. The filter lasts six months. Our living gets so dusty so this feature is handy to have.

We have three cats in our home who are usually hanging out with me during the day as I work. I often worry that people can smell the cats when they come in my house. I don’t notice anything, but I’m probably immune to it. It’s nice to have this extra feature to help ease some anxiety.

It comes with two HEPA Media filters and four carbon filters. You’ll know when you need to looking at the filter indicator. It will flash red when it needs to be replaced. I like that I can operate the air purifier without turning on the humidifier. It’s extremely humid at my home in the Ottawa valley so the air is already quite moist as it is. However, when the cold weather hits again in the late Fall and Winter, I will need the humidifier to combat the crazy dryness. No hot water is required! Simply fill up the water tank with plain water located at the back of the machine. It holds 1.72 litres and will last 15.6 hours at high speed. Do not use any fragrances in the tank! Just regular water is all you need. The water tank indicator will let you know how much water is left. Then it’s just a matter of choosing your desired humidity level. The unit has a built in thermostat and will keep the room at the level you want without you lifting a finger. It will switch on and off as needed to keep the room at the set humidity level.

And yes, it is still cleaning the air at the same time! However, you can’t only run the humidifier, but you CAN only run the air purifier. Lately, my living room is about 49-52% humidity. It will likely rise as we head into summer. I’m curious to see what the humidity levels will be like in January. With the Oreck Air Refresh 2-in-1 Air Purifier you are truly in control of your air cleaning. Simply turn the unit to activate the air purifier and select a speed for the fan (Low, Medium, High or Turbo). Want the humidifier on? Press the Humidity button and select your humidity level. Mist and vapour will come out the small grill behind the control panel. It will turn on and off by itself to maintain the set RH% (Relative Humidity). It’s basically a set it and forget it type of product that you don’t have to babysit. I wanted to share a few more of the other key benefits.

If anyone suffers from allergies in your home, the Air Refresh 2-in-1 Air Purifier & Humidifier will be good to own. We sometimes get minor seasonal allergies, but it’s usually not too bad. I’m curious to see if it makes a difference for people allergic to cats when they come over to visit. It seems like everyone I know is allergic! I like knowing it’s there running in the background doing it’s thing and making the air we breathe cleaner and less dusty. What is your favourite feature of the Oreck Air Refresh 2-in-1 Air Purifier & Humidifier? Disclosure: I received an Oreck Air Refresh 2-in-1 Air Purifier & Humidifier. posted in Product ReviewsFebreze is classified as an air freshner, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to work by "trapping" odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical. The first thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove odor molecules and it doesn't clean the item it comes into contact with. The odor molecules are still there.

Your nose just can't perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead. That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs...but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled! Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects. Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG...they found 87 chemicals in total! Now this is just one Febreze product, but the fact that only 3 ingredients were disclosed and that so many undisclosed ingredients are dangerous, it's safe to assume that their other air freshners are just as dangerous. Below you'll find a list of just some of the 87 chemicals found by the EWG in Febreze Air Effects, listed in order of their toxicity to humans:

You can find the EWG's full report on the dangers of Febreze and other common cleaners here. Again, it's important to understand that these types of products are not only dangerous to our health, but they aren't actually cleaning the air or eliminating odor. They are just masking it...the bacteria and molecules are still hanging around, maybe even making you sick themselves. If you really want to remove odors naturally there are two recommendations I have: No need for chemicals, side effects or pricey products. Just a few simple tips to keep your home healthy and smelling fresh. Is there a good way to remove Febreze from carpet? One carpet guy told me it was an encapsulate and each time you crush it it releases more fragrance--and that it even penetrates drywall. I can't sleep from the crap. I sprayed vinegar water but it didn't work. I'm thinking of having someone steam it? I'm renting this room and the carpets are newer. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this.
