Do you suffer with pet allergies? 

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA),  three in ten people with allergies have allergic reactions to cats and dogs and nearly half have been diagnosed with pet allergies by a medical professional. Instead of removing their beloved pets from the household, about half of the people with allergies are willing to keep on sneezing and about a third are willing to keep on suffering from a rash.

To improve the air quality in your home, you can do extensive cleaning on a regular basis, bathing and deshedding your pet often, and frequently changing your clothes,  it still won't be enough to clean the air.

Central forced air systems keep our homes comfortable. But they also have the potential to transport air particulates. The AAFA suggests adding an air cleaner to your home to ensure that your indoor air is as free of pet dander as possible. A solution could be the Trane CleanEffects Whole-Home Air Cleaner. It removes up to 99.98% of all airborne particles — including pet dander and other allergens, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, pollens, and more — without overly restricting airflow. It’s 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1-inch filter. It's easy to clean and doesn't require filters replacement.
