Air Purifiers and Pets: A Breath of Fresh Air for Families with Asthma

If you have pets at home and a family member with asthma, you know the challenges of keeping the air clean and allergen-free. At Luno Hygiene, we’re passionate about improving indoor air quality, so we’ve gone out to find the facts so you don’t have too, and a ground breaking study highlights just how much of a difference air purifiers can make.

The Study

Researchers studied 20 asthmatic children who were sensitised to pet allergens, each living with a cat or dog. Over two three-month periods, air purifiers were placed in their living rooms and bedrooms to compare the impact of active air purifiers against inactive ones. The results were impressive!

Key Benefits of Air Purifiers for Pet Owners

• Improved Lung Function: After three months of using active air purifiers, the children showed a remarkable improvement in airway responsiveness, making breathing easier and more stable.
• Better Respiratory Stability: Daily fluctuations in peak flow—a key indicator of respiratory health—decreased significantly, giving these kids more consistent breathing patterns.
• Reduced Airborne Allergens: Substantial amounts of cat and dog allergens were captured by the air purifiers, creating cleaner air in the most-used spaces of their homes.

Why It Matters

While this research is positive news for families managing these challenges it confirms what we at Luno Hygiene believe: air purifiers are game changers for families with pets. While allergens in floor dust remained unchanged, the reduction of airborne allergens made a noticeable difference in the children’s health.

Our AirCare range is specifically designed to tackle airborne allergens and improve air quality for homes with pets. Whether it’s your living room, bedroom, or any space where your family spends time, our air purifiers help create a healthier, more comfortable environment.
