During the winter months, it’s too cold to keep my window open. As a result, the indoor air can get pretty stuffy. What’s the best way to purify the air? I was thinking of getting an air purifier, but am not sure what’s a good brand. Also, which is better the ionic kind or filtered? As an alternative, how about just having several indoor plants? Would that do just as good of a job as I’ve read that plant purify the air naturally. Thanks for your answers.
My Mother-in-law has a boyfrined who has major OCD, it’s to the point where its not only effecting his life in negative ways but it’s also effecting her life. She is so wrapped up in not upsetting him and trying to make sure things are exactly the way he needs them to be that her world is getting smaller and smaller and it’s effected her relationship with her children and her grandchildren.
Her boyfriend’s OCD manifests it’s self in the form of obsessing over his cars, servicing his 3 cars and my mother-in-law’s car over and over again. He compulsively has to check the cars during the day and even in the middle of the night, it’s to the point that he can not hold down a job. He is also obsessed with germs, and conspiracy theories about the following: Mad Cow disease, chemical warfare, GMOs, and Bacteria created by the government. (super germs) This has gotten to the point that he will not eat my cooking because he believes I have too much red meat in my diet and therefore have Madcow disease.
Sadly all of the above has made my mother-in-law’s life hard, on her birthday we tried to go out for a "ladies nightout" thing and he called her every 15mins reminding her to use had sanitizer and use only paper and plastic cups because glasses at bars can be contaminated.
After that night he made her sleep on an air mattress for 4 weeks because he thought she might have brought something home, the problem is she goes along with it, and she does this all the time.
What is the best way to go about an intervention for her, how can we help her get out of this relationship and heal so that she does not get into another just like it? Please provide links if you can, thanks!
She has come to us for help, and she had confided in us that she feels trapped and she even left once but she feels guilty and always goes back.

I have a cat and my boyfriend is allergic to cats. He’s not deathly allergic to them, but spending time at my place for awhile does make him noticably sick. I plan on doing more that just this, but I’ve heard that getting a good quality air purifier is one major way to cut down on the allergens in my house.
My place is a smallish two-bedroom house. I have been keeping the cat out of my bedroom. As far as I know there is nothing else in my house that triggers allergic reactions.
Do I need an air purifier in my bedroom and also one running in the rest of my house? Which one should I buy? (I would prefer to spend less, but if I need to buy an expensive one to do the job right I will.)
i currently have a honeywell 18155 i dont know my rooms exact measurements its an average bedroom i figure its between 500-700 sq feet well the honeywell doesnt seem to be doing the job ive had it since febuary of this year,my room has alot of dust and i know i have to dust but it should make some what of a difference and it hasnt when i clean the hepa filter and replace the pre filter theres dust in there but still i see tons of air born particles in the air…so im looking for a new purifier for my sized room that will do a much better job then this and that either doesnt need filter replacement or doesnt need it often and if it needs replacement every few months it cant be to expensive price of the purifier should be no more then 400 would love to spend less then that but really need something thats going to do the job this one truely i dont see a difference in my allergies or anything else in the air
