Air Washer

Before we go further, we first need to clarify what an air washer is. An air washer is a specialist 2-in-1 cleaning solution designed – as the name suggests – to clean the air in your home. The unique cleansing solution takes in your property’s air and helps cleanse it to remove impurities and pollution; all the while, it simultaneously helps moisten and humidify the air thanks to the in-built humidifier function. 
 

As such, an air washer is a highly effective solution to help clean and look after the air in your home. However, it’s crucial to consider that air washers cannot always provide a 100% cleaning solution. Nevertheless, it’s still a valuable option to consider if you have been looking for a reliable option to clean the air in a property. 

Many people make the assumption that an air washer is just a typical air purifier with extra water added in. However, this is not the case since air purifiers provide a far more complex solution than just adding a little water vapor to your property’s air.
 

While they are similar to this, an air purifier works to capture particles, pollution, and the like and remove them from the air through a series of purification and filtration processes. However, during this process, the air washer also humidifies the air that comes in, allowing the expelled air to be slightly less dry than when it entered the humidifier. In turn, regular use can allow your air washer to not only remove a large amount of contamination from your air but also make the room more comfortable if it has been feeling dry.

An air washer differs from an air purifier thanks to its unique humidifying nature. This ensures that the expelled air is clean, free from contamination, and moistened, making the room potentially more comfortable to live and work in.
 

As such, it’s unsurprising that a growing number of people are choosing an air washer for their homes or commercial properties, making this a valuable investment to make for your business’s collection.

Both air washers and air humidifiers help add moisture to dry, uncomfortable air. However, they do this in very different ways. It is important to note here that both air washers and air humidifiers have the potential to clean the air; for example, a warm mist humidifier boils water into steam, which is an effective way to remove a large amount of the potential pathogens on the air.
 

Air washers take things a step further. They don’t provide the same level of humidifying as a dedicated humidifier, usually. However, air washers are nevertheless effective for adding a little extra moisture to a dry room while simultaneously filtering out and trapping pollutants and contaminants from the air – making them a 2-in-1 solution. 

An air washer is actually a surprisingly simple device, although the specific mechanisms of how they work are much more complex. During the air washing process, contaminated, polluted, or dry air is taken into the device through suction; then, the air washer uses a basic evaporation process to collect contaminants from the air and separate them.
 

The air passes over several metal plates and absorbs water particles simultaneously; this helps humidify the air while also removing any nasty contaminants. As such, at the end of the process, the purified air is released back into the property – taking some of the water droplets with it – and the process repeats for the next suction of air.
 

There are numerous different air washers on the market, and these all work a little differently. Some, for example, offer even greater levels of purification by first passing the air through an incredibly fine mesh filter. This increases the potential purification potential for the air washer, which could make it a good option to consider for properties in highly polluted regions.
