Enough prowess
We have chosen air purifiers that have a specific and dedicated CADR for dust elimination. The higher CADR for dust, the more efficient it is in removing smart particles.
Suitable air purifiers for this type of pollutant must be able to sweep off smaller minute particles from .5 to .1 microns.
Efficient HEPA filters
HEPA filters are gold standard when it comes to air purifiers. These are the powerhouse when it comes to indoor air cleaning. But to be able to clean smaller particles such as dust, we need more than just regular HEPA filters.
Thus we have chosen air purifiers that have more specialized HEPA filters, most are medical grade. These are king when it comes to dust removal, it can also get rid of a lot of other particles such as germs, bacteria, pet dander, and molds. So we are hitting more than two birds with one stone with this type of HEPA filter.

Maintaining a Dust Free Home is Now Easier
The level of dust removal depends on the intricacy of an air purifier’s filtration system, primarily the type of filters used. These should be powerful enough to remove very small particles that are naked to the eye.
