Air purifiers are essential for maintaining clean, healthy air in your home or office. However, to ensure that your air purifier continues to function at its best, regular maintenance is key. Neglecting proper care can reduce its efficiency and lifespan. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to properly maintain your air purifier for long-lasting, optimal performance.



Why Regular Maintenance Is Important


  1. Enhanced Air Quality – A well-maintained air purifier is more effective at trapping dust, allergens, and other harmful particles.

  2. Prolonged Lifespan – Proper upkeep ensures your air purifier lasts longer and continues to operate effectively.

  3. Cost-Effective – Regular maintenance helps prevent expensive repairs or the need to replace your unit prematurely.

Steps to Maintain Your Air Purifier


1. Change the Filters Regularly

Filters are the heart of any air purifier. Over time, they become clogged with dust and other particles, reducing their efficiency.

  • HEPA Filter: Depending on usage and manufacturer guidelines, change the HEPA filter every 6-12 months. If you have pets or live in a dusty environment, more frequent changes may be necessary.

  • Activated Carbon Filter: This filter helps absorb odors and gases. Replace it every 3-6 months.

  • Pre-Filters: These capture larger particles, and you may need to clean or replace them every 1-3 months, depending on the model.


2. Clean the Exterior and Air Vents

Dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the purifier, affecting airflow and efficiency.

  • Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the body of the unit, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.

  • Clean the air vents and any mesh filters to ensure that the purifier has good airflow.


3. Vacuum the Interior

For models with a removable filter, gently vacuum the interior of the purifier to remove any loose particles. This prevents dust from clogging internal components, such as the fan.


4. Monitor the Air Quality Sensors

Many modern air purifiers, including those from Smillon, come with built-in sensors to monitor air quality. If the sensor detects poor air quality, the purifier will adjust its settings. Regularly check the sensor and clean it with a soft cloth, as dust buildup can affect its accuracy.


5. Keep the Room Clean

While your air purifier will work hard to clean the air, a clean room will reduce the load on the unit. Regularly vacuum the floors, wipe surfaces, and control humidity levels to reduce airborne particles.


6. Check for Unusual Sounds or Smells

If your air purifier starts making strange noises or emitting unpleasant odors, this could be a sign that it needs maintenance. A change in sound may indicate that the fan is clogged or damaged, while odors could mean that the filter needs replacing or cleaning.

Tips for Prolonging Your Air Purifier's Life


  • Keep it in a Well-Ventilated Area: Place your air purifier in a space where it can circulate air freely, away from walls or furniture that may obstruct airflow.


  • Run it Continuously: If possible, run your air purifier 24/7 for consistent air quality. Many modern air purifiers are energy-efficient and designed for constant use.


  • Use It in the Right Room Size: Make sure your purifier is suitable for the room size. If the unit is too small for the space, it will struggle to keep up with the air quality demands.
