Comments on: Do Air Purifiers make your walls and carpets black?? http://www.air-purifier-tdr.com/do-air-purifiers-make-your-walls-and-carpets-black It's All About Air Purifiers Sun, 20 May 2012 13:06:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: thewrangler_sw http://www.air-purifier-tdr.com/do-air-purifiers-make-your-walls-and-carpets-black/comment-page-1#comment-1329 thewrangler_sw Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:20:43 +0000 http://www.air-purifier-tdr.com/do-air-purifiers-make-your-walls-and-carpets-black#comment-1329 Air purifiers that work by ionizing the air will tend to leave a black residue on surfaces. That is the dust that it pulled out of the air. The way these purifiers work, is that they change the 'charge' on the air/dust as it passes thru the machine. Then those charged ions will be attracted to surfaces with the opposite charge. Thus, the residue on surfaces. These particular types of machines wreak havoc with some computers too, by the way. If you need an air purifier, I first recommend starting with your central air filter. Start off by using a better quality of filter there, and change that filter regularly. It also helps if you use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, to prevent blowing the really fine dust right thru the machine, and out into the air again. Now, you're ready to look at air cleaners....If you don't mind the residue on the surfaces, then you may prefer a machine that ionizes the air... they tend to be quiter than a traditional 'filter' type air cleaner. I wouldnt put it in the same room as my computer tho. Personally, I prefer filter products. All the dirt/dust is trapped in the filter, right where I want it.
