Winter Sanctuary: The Best Ways to Combat Germs in Your Home

When thinking about childproofing their home, parents will add tons of safeguards for unsafe rooms and appliances. These are obviously important steps, but they don’t take into account airborne bacteria and viruses that can be hazardous to the whole family. The good news is that every parent has the power to alleviate these harmful elements to keep your family safe.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the whole family will be spending more time inside together this winter, so it’s more important than ever to create a winter sanctuary. That’s why Verywell Family teamed up with Blueair to share some tips on how to make your home as safe as possible. These simple changes can go a long way in providing much-needed peace of mind.

Find the Right Tools

Whether you’re cleaning carpets or countertops, you need to be equipped with the right tools to do the job. Cleaning the air inside is no different. The first step in turning your home into a safe haven is picking up an effective air purifier. And as with vacuums and cleaning solutions, not all air purifiers are created equal.

Blueair's newest and most advanced air purifier ever,HealthProtect^TM, is the only air purifier to provide 24/7 protection against viruses and bacteria.¹First, its HEPASilent Ultra^TMtechnology removes 99.97% of viruses, bacteria, dust, pollen, dander, and mold from the air, while eliminating VOCs and odors. Then it's GermShield^TMtechnology kills²any germs left on the filter, even when it is on standby.

Since you can’t look at the air in your home and judge whether it’s clean—unlike, say, your floors or windows— it’s important to see independent test results. Blueair’s HealthProtect^TMair purifier is rated for clean air performance using the AHAM Verifide program. It’s comforting to know that you can trust all of that technology to keep your family healthy.
