Do I Need an Air Purifier? With indoor air being up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, there’s an alarming call to action to think more carefully about the air we breathe indoors. Contaminants come from all sorts of household activities, like using gas-fired appliances, cleaning products, fireplaces, and smoking cigarettes. Equally concerning is how quickly allergens like dust mites, mold spores, pollen, and pet dander can accumulate in the air and infiltrate our respiratory systems. By filtering these contaminants, you can prevent allergic reactions and various other health issues. How Do Air Purifiers Work? Air purifiers work by sucking in air through internal fans, pushing it through a filtration system, and releasing it back into your indoor environment. But with so many air purifiers on the market, choosing the best one for you and your family may be confusing. This is why we strongly recommend a purifier with a verified True HEPA filter. What Does “True HEPA” Mean? Many products on the market are labeled “HEPA-like” and “HEPA-type”, but they’re actually disguising the fact that their product doesn’t meet top industry standards. To be considered “True HEPA,” an air purifier must meet strict U.S. Department of Energy standards. HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air, meaning that these filters are at the highest efficiency possible. True HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. For reference of how small 0.3 microns is, things are invisible to the naked eye starting at 40 microns! What Sets Levoit Air Purifiers Apart? The Levoit True HEPA Air Purifiers not only have the True HEPA Filter, but also a Fine Preliminary Filter and a High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter for effective 3-stage filtration. Each filter serves a different purpose. Here’s a quick breakdown: The Fine Preliminary Filter captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur. This filter also maximizes the life of the True HEPA Filter by protecting it. The True HEPA Filter traps tiny particles such as mold spores, tiny dust particles, parts of smoke, and allergens such as pollen, dander, and mites. This stops germs in their tracks, decreases airborne allergens, and prevents the development or worsening of asthma or other breathing conditions. The Activated Carbon Filter purifies household odors. Lingering smells from cooking, pets, or smoke will dissipate so you can always inhale fresh air. So… Should I Buy a True HEPA Air Purifier? Every member of your family can benefit from this 3-stage filtration system found in all Levoit True HEPA Air Purifiers - whether or not they have asthma or allergies. Breathe in confidence knowing that the air in your home is free of impurities.

What Is a True HEPA Air Purifier, and Can You Benefit from One?

December 5, 2019 Levoit Joins #TeamTrees: Helping Mother Earth One Tree At A Time With health and wellness being so central to our mission, we want to donate to a good cause this holiday season. That’s why we decided on trees-- more specifically, we will be donating to a collaborative fundraiser called #TeamTrees to help achieve their goal of planting 20 million trees by 2020. Talk about making a difference! Why #TeamTrees? Being based out of Southern California ourselves, we’ve experienced the disastrous effects of wildfires on the environment. But this isn’t just about us—forests all over the world are facing devastation because of fires, insects, disease, and harsh weather conditions. Deforestation can have dire effects on our environment, and in turn, our health. Not only are trees natural air purifiers, absorbing carbon dioxide while providing oxygen, they also provide habitation to various wildlife, filter natural water sources, and prevent water and wind erosion. Want to help? Our personal goal is to plant 1,000 trees by December 27th, and we need your help. Every “like” on our #TeamTrees social media posts will plant one tree, bringing #TeamTrees closer to their goal of 20 million trees by the beginning of 2020. For more information on the #TeamTrees collaborative fundraiser or to donate directly, please visit https://teamtrees.org/.

Levoit For #TeamTrees

Plants add a bright and warming touch to our homes. Their release of oxygen is a luxury in poorly ventilated buildings, allowing us to breathe easier. Certain plants even act as natural air purifiers, as proven by a famous NASA study in 1989. However, many plants listed as air-purifying can be toxic for the pets we have at home. For the relief of pet owners who are interested in buying plants as indoor air purifiers, we have compiled a list of five powerfully purifying plants that are safe for your furry family members. 1. Gerbera Daisy (Gerbera Jamesonii) These bright and beautiful flowers filter benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene particles from the air. Coming in multiple colors like pink and orange, they are relatively easy to care for as long as they have proper sunlight. 2. Lady Palm (Rhapis Excelsa) This multilayered green plant grows in clusters and helps defend you and your pets against xylene, formaldehyde, and ammonia particles. Lady palms grow slowly and adapt to many different types of soil. 3. Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea Seifritzii) This dark green palm thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a great indoor plant. The bamboo palm can filter out benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from your home. 4. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosum) This house plant lives up to its name with leaves resembling spider legs. They are undemanding in terms of care, making them perfect for beginning green thumbs. Spider plants draw formaldehyde and xylene from the air. 5. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis Exaltata) With feathery leaves and a vibrant green color, these plants are popular indoors. Requiring frequent watering and indirect sunlight, these plants may need a little more attention, but are the most efficient at removing formaldehyde from the air. Adding a few of these plants to your home can provide cleaner air for both you and your pets. However, to secure fully purified air in your home, you can combine the power of plants with a pet-approved true HEPA air purifier. Levoit’s Core P350 True HEPA Air Purifier is made specially for pet-owners to filter pet dander, airborne bacteria, loose fur, and unpleasant odors all in one compact, long-lasting machine. With Americans spending most of their time indoors, and pets sometimes indoors even longer, it's important to look toward solutions to indoor air pollution. Cleaning up these invisible threats to our health can provide relief to those with allergies while preventing serious health issues, allowing you and your family to breathe clean air confidently.

5 Air-Purifying House Plants That Are Safe For Pets

February 28, 2020 For 3 days in Hamburg, Germany, 78 renowned design experts from around the world gathered to choose the winners of the prestigious iF Design Award. Out of 7,298 global entries, there were only 1,453 winners—and we’re proud to say our own Levoit Core 300 True HEPA Air Purifier was among them. We’re celebrating our success by stamping our Core 300 with the iF seal of high recognition and distinction.

Core 300 True HEPA Air Purifier Wins 2020 iF Design Award

Like many around the world, we’re working from home this week. While sheltering in place is inconvenient and difficult for everybody, we can still take steps to ensure this is a productive and beneficial time. As many countries remain under lockdown, we thought we’d share some tips for staying healthy while you’re stuck at home. Slow Down Ordinary life has ground to a halt these last few weeks. As you remain indoors, it can be difficult to keep yourself occupied. Our advice? Lean into the slowness of your day. The immediacy of smartphones and social media clashes with the pace of life at the moment. If you’re not careful, too much time spent staring at a screen will make you increasingly restless. Instead, find activities that match the tempo of your day. Read a book, do a puzzle, or take a walk. You can also choose something more time consuming, like learning a new skill or hobby. Think of a few things you’ve wished you had more time for in the past and see if you can make time for them now. Plan Your Day Once you have a clearer sense of how you want to spend your time, you can create more structure for yourself. If sleep is what you need right now, by all means set your alarm a little later, but try to be consistent with your schedule. Waking up at the same time every day is a good way to create a stronger sense of order. From there, you can plan out meals, work, and ways to relax. Eat breakfast at the beginning of your day and make sure you’re getting 3 meals a day. And if you can, give yourself something to look forward to each day. It could be as simple as saving a favorite TV show for the end of the day, but by having something special planned, the hours will pass quicker Be Creative It isn’t always easy to stay entertained while you’re stuck at home, but it’s important to try. Once you have your schedule in place, see if you can come up with one thing each day that is unique. Eat lunch outside. Cook something new. Arrange a video call with your extended family. Coming up with fresh ideas will give you a challenge and make each day feel distinct. Even if you aren’t successful every day, this will still help keep you from getting into a rut. And if you discover something you really like, you can make it a part of your daily routine. There might not be as many variables at home as there are out in the world, but by being creative, we can come up with a few more ourselves. Last But Not Least Don’t feel guilty. Not every day will be productive or engaging, and that’s okay. Treat each day as a fresh start and see what it brings. It’s also okay to enjoy your time. This is a very serious situation, but that doesn’t mean you should spend all day focused on the news. While some are affected more than others, it’s important to remember that this is something that’s happening to everyone. The best thing you can do right now is stay home and stay sane. So make memories, find ways to grow, and have fun. Whatever this time ends up looking like for you, we hope this post helps you stay occupied long after you finish reading it.

<h2>Slow Down</h2>
Ordinary life has ground to a halt these last few weeks. As you remain indoors, it can be difficult to keep yourself occupied. Our advice? Lean into the slowness of your day. The immediacy of smartphones and social media clashes with the pace of life at the moment. If you’re not careful, too much time spent staring at a screen will make you increasingly restless.

Think of a few things you’ve wished you had more time for in the past and see if you can make time for them now. 
<h2>Plan Your Day</h2>
Once you have a clearer sense of how you want to spend your time, you can create more structure for yourself. If sleep is what you need right now, by all means set your alarm a little later, but try to be consistent with your schedule. Waking up at the same time every day is a good way to create a stronger sense of order. From there, you can plan out meals, work, and ways to relax.

It could be as simple as saving a favorite TV show for the end of the day, but by having something special planned, the hours will pass quicker
<h2>Be Creative </h2>
It isn’t always easy to stay entertained while you’re stuck at home, but it’s important to try. Once you have your schedule in place, see if you can come up with one thing each day that is unique. Eat lunch outside. Cook something new. Arrange a video call with your extended family. Coming up with fresh ideas will give you a challenge and make each day feel distinct. Even if you aren’t successful every day, this will still help keep you from getting into a rut. And if you discover something you really like, you can make it a part of your daily routine.

Tips for Staying Healthy at Home

If you’ve been growing an indoor plant collection at home, you may have seen leaves browning or curling up, even with proper sunlight and water. This is likely because our households tend to lack the moisture plants need to “breathe” through their leaves. While humidity, or the amount of water vapor in the air, can greatly benefit your plants, it can simultaneously provide benefits for you! Extra moisture in the air can relieve common allergy symptoms like coughing and sneezing while restoring dry skin and chapped lips. To remedy dry conditions for you and your plant family, an ultrasonic humidifier could be the answer. What is an Ultrasonic Humidifier? Whereas most humidifiers heat water to evaporate into the air, ultrasonic humidifiers use high vibrations to vaporize water. The ultrasonic design produces much smaller mist particles, reducing the chances of making the environment too humid or getting surroundings wet. Finer mist also prevents fungus and root rot in your plants as a result of over-humidification. Because the mechanism in ultrasonic humidifiers is simple, they tend to be quiet and more compact than regular humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers also don’t need a filter, saving you money and time purchasing replacements. Some ultrasonic humidifiers also provide the option of cool or warm mist to suit you throughout each season. How can I benefit from a humidifier? Humidifiers in the home have been shown to help relieve dryness in the skin, hair, and eyes, reduce allergy symptoms, and even help people with respiratory issues. In the spring and summer seasons when allergies are causing dryness and irritation, a humidifier can help provide relief by moistening nasal and throat passages. In the winter, humid air can feel much warmer than dry air, reducing the need to turn on the heater and therefore saving energy. When it comes to your plants, you might be surprised to learn that even desert plants like cacti prefer at least 40% humidity levels, while the average home lands at about only 30% or lower due to the drying effects of air conditioning, heaters, and fans. Through pores on the underside of their leaves called “stomata”, plants intake carbon dioxide and exude the oxygen we breathe. Without proper humidity levels, plants keep their stomata closed for extended periods of time to retain moisture. With closed stomata the plant cannot “breathe”, causing them to wilt and turn brown. Maintaining the right level of humidity in our homes can provide soothing effects that we didn’t know were possible –both for our plants and ourselves. Why a Levoit humidifier? Featuring adjustable mist levels, auto-shutoff, and easy operation and cleaning, every Levoit humidifier is designed with ultrasonic technology and user benefits in mind. All of our humidifiers come with a 1-year warranty and lifetime customer support.

How Ultrasonic Humidifiers Help You & Your Plants Thrive

With Spring right around the corner, it can seem like the worst time of year for those who suffer from allergies. Allergy symptoms occur when your immune system identifies a substance like pollen, dust, or dander as a threat and stimulates the immune system, causing you to sneeze, sniffle, and have itchy, watery eyes. Thankfully, there are a few simple steps you can take to reduce allergens at home and keep symptoms under control. Keep Things Clean Dust, pollen, and other allergens love to sneak around when you’re not looking. Window curtains, countertops, bookshelves—even our mattresses and pillows can fall prey to dust mites and other irritants. Regularly dusting, sanitizing, and special mattress/pillow protectors can significantly reduce allergy symptoms. And don’t forget to poke around in all the hidden nooks and crannies where dust and allergens like to set up camp. Let an Air Purifier Do the Work Some allergens you can see and clean, but some float right by, barely visible to the naked eye. An air purifier can catch these airborne allergens before they settle into your home. Look for an air purifier with 3-stage H13 True HEPA filtration. These air purifiers can capture and neutralize all the gunk, like pollen, dust, pet dander and household odors, and leave nothing but fresh air behind. Restrict Pollen From Coming Indoors The more pollen that finds its way into your home, the more likely allergy symptoms will be triggered. Keep windows and doors closed as often as possible, and try not to leave indoor items outside for allergen hitchhikers to get a free ride into your home. Take your shoes off as soon as you come inside, and any four-legged friends should probably get their paws wiped down, too. Lastly, taking a shower before going to sleep can make sure any pollen that got stuck to your clothes or skin during the day doesn’t make it into your bed. Prevent Mold With mold spores causing allergy symptoms and potentially more serious symptoms, prevention is key. Mold thrives in humid, wet environments, so it’s important to make sure laundry, towels, and other fabrics are quickly and thoroughly dried after being wet. Indoor plants can also, unfortunately, be a breeding place for mold, especially in poorly ventilated areas. If you suffer from allergies, relocating plants to an outdoor space may help soothe symptoms. Eat All the Good Stuff Combat seasonal allergies from the inside out. You can’t magically make your allergies go away through diet changes, but you can strengthen your immune system and reduce inflammation with mindful eating habits. Daily vitamins, wellness teas, ginger, citrus fruits, and turmeric are just a few natural remedies that help fortify your system against allergy symptoms. We hope these allergy tips bring you some much-needed relief this spring! Enjoy the warm weather, and thank you for being a part of the Levoit family.

The Core 400S is now available for $219.99 and offers smart capabilities through the free VeSync app. The new model offers a smart and sleek design, easy-to-use technology, and innovative features, including: The Preliminary Filter removes common allergens such as dust, lint, fiber, hair, and pet fur. The H13 True HEPA Filter with HEPASmart™ Technology captures bacteria, mold, viruses, pollen, and pet dander for a cleaner and more comfortable environment. The Custom high-efficiency activated carbon filter is designed to neutralize smoke, fumes, volatile organic compounds, cooking smells, and pet odors. The exclusive Levoit ARC™ Formula is customized for cooking smells and pet odors. AirSight Plus™ Technology senses changes in the air quality up to ten times faster than infrared lasers and automatically adjusts fan speeds for you when Auto Mode is selected. For 360-degree air circulation, aerodynamic fan blades and VortexAir™ Technology 3.0 work together to powerfully distribute clean air five times per hour in spaces up to 403 ft2. The user-friendly interface shows settings, filter life, and real-time PM2.5 readings of the number of airborne particles, such as dust and smoke, in the air. Users can also view real-time air quality updates on the VeSync app, along with remaining filter life and daily air quality data graphs. VeSync’s Smart Scenes feature allows users to program the air purifier to automatically respond to surrounding conditions, such as a specific air quality at which the Core 400S will turn on/off, start Auto Mode, or adjust fan speeds. Users can even connect the air purifier to Google Assistant™ and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control. “We take about 20,000 breaths per day, and our environments are full of microscopic pollutants that can cause discomfort and long-term negative health effects as we breathe them in,” said Grace Yang, Founder, Chairperson, CEO, and Executive Director of parent company VeSync. “With the latest technology and automatic adjustments, our newest addition to the Levoit Core Air Purifier Series makes indoor air quality one less thing you need to worry about.

Mother and Daughter with VeSync Dual™ 200S, 2-in-1 Smart Top-Fill Humidifier and Diffuser

Levoit Introduces VeSync Dual™ 200S, 2-in-1 Smart Top-Fill Humidifier and Diffuser

Creating a space where you feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed is essential. Especially this year, as we prep for the upcoming ‘twindemic’, which describes the combination of Covid-19 and the flu season. So, what’s a simple way you can upgrade your home wellness routine this year? Try adding one of our favorites—a humidifier. First, a little bit about humidifiers. Humidifiers put moisture back into dry air with warm or cool mist. Known as a cost-effective and more natural way to improve home wellness, they have quickly become one of the most popular products in the industry. Many humidifier users have even seen their skin, congestion, and quality of sleep noticeably improve with long-term use. When looking for a humidifier, always pay attention to special features, such as smart control, humidity sensors, and night lights. Details can make all the difference. But first, take a look at the top 5 benefits of humidifiers during flu season. Our favorite benefits. 1. Combat Congestion Congestion is not only uncomfortable, but it can harm our quality of sleep, limit our sense of smell, and awkwardly turn every eye to us when we blow our nose in a quiet room. When the weather is dry and bacteria is being passed around, congestion can become a serious problem. Humidifiers help keep your nasal passageways clear, so you can continue living and sleeping comfortably through every season. 2. Soothe Coughing & Sore Throats During flu season, the air tends to get colder and drier. Because of this, our throats can lack moisture, causing that dry, painful cough. Dry coughing and sore throats are not only disruptive to our everyday lives, but they make the road to recovery that much longer. Humidifiers help send moisture back into your airways. This helps break down mucus in your lungs and makes coughs more productive, so you can clear your airways and recover faster. 3. Catch Quality Zzz’s Walking around with dry coughs and congestion is irritating enough, but trying to sleep with these symptoms can be even worse. Dry air can also cause louder snoring because your airways aren’t clear. With a humidifier, you can create an ideal environment to encourage quality sleep—especially for babies. For these little ones, we recommend using a cool mist setting, as the water on a warm mist setting can be hot if spilled. Another pro tip for promoting good sleep—natural aromatherapy. In addition to providing mist, many Levoit humidifiers include an aroma pad for essential oils. If you use the same relaxing scent every night, your brain will start to associate it with going to bed, making falling asleep even easier. 4. Hydrate Dry Skin There might be nothing less refreshing than waking up with cracked lips and dry skin. Plus, the buildup of static electricity in the dry air can make your hair go haywire. Those with dry skin conditions, such as dermatitis, can especially struggle with a dry atmosphere. This is when a humidifier with a humidity sensor comes in handy. For most people, 40–50% RH (relative humidity) is comfortable. If you’d like to customize the humidity level of your room, find a humidifier that sends real-time humidity level updates to your phone and allows you to adjust mist levels accordingly. With a convenient system like that, you can keep your indoor humidity levels healthy, no matter where you are or what the weather is like outside. 5. Help Plants Thrive Though they don’t catch the flu like we do, our green babies can get the winter blues, too. For some plant varieties, the change in weather during flu season can cause severe dryness and leaf brittleness. Give your plants some quality mist time every day. You might even notice their taking on a healthy glow with a consistently balanced atmosphere. In Conclusion. Many Levoit humidifiers also offer both warm and cool mist—cool mist is safest for little ones and pets, while warm mist is nice during cold winter months and tends to be even quieter. Whether you want all the bells and whistles, or a simple product that blends into the background, it’s important to have a humidifier that’s just right for you.

Humidifiers are a common household appliance, most often used to create a general atmosphere of wellness for plants, pets, and people alike. Many users also use humidifiers to alleviate unpleasant cold and flu-like symptoms in the winter, including congestion, sore throats, and dry skin. It is less common, but equally effective, to use humidifiers to ease the effects of pneumonia and help with recovery. Here on World Pneumonia Day, we wanted to take the opportunity to spread awareness about the condition and pass along information about the benefits of a humidifier. What is World Pneumonia Day? World Pneumonia Day was first created on November 12, 2009 and is observed annually by health organizations around the world in an effort to reduce the number of cases each year. Pneumonia affects over 155 million children a year, killing 1.6 million kids on average. It is also life-threatening among adults over 65 years of age. Over the last 2 years, the Covid-19 epidemic has further illuminated how dangerous Pneumonia can be. Pneumonia is an infection caused by bacteria, fungus, or viruses that causes the lungs to fill up with fluid. This makes breathing considerably more difficult for patients, while also causing fevers, chills, and coughing. Though not always contagious, airborne respiratory droplets can be spread by coughing and sneezing. How Can You Help? November 12th is an excellent day to learn more about how Pneumonia can be prevented. Countless groups take the opportunity to spread helpful information about the disease and how it can be treated or avoided entirely. Awareness is an important first step. You can educate your children, elderly family members, and people in your community. Stop Pneumonia (www.stoppneumonia.org) offers great resources that can easily be shared with friends and loved ones. From there, you can also give charitably to health organizations like UNICEF, which provides aid to children in need of medical attention around the world. How Can a Humidifier Help? While humidifiers do not prevent pneumonia, they can significantly ease symptoms like coughing and clear nasal passages to promote easy breathing. This in turn will also help improve rest, which is incredibly important for recovery. Stanford Children’s Health recommends humidifiers as form of treatment for pneumonia1. However, don’t let the humidifier be your only source of moisture, make sure to drink plenty of fluids as well. If you or your child contract pneumonia, it is important to see a doctor for an official diagnosis. In some cases, the infection can be treated with antibiotics and other forms of treatment. What to Look For The most important feature to look for in a humidifier is cool mist. This feature will offer the greatest comfort and can quicken the process of recovery. It is also important to invest in a quality humidifier with wide coverage and powerful mist. Other features like smart control and voice command can offer convenient support if you are bedridden. If you do use a humidifier to ease the symptoms of pneumonia, it is vitally important that you keep the humidifier clean. If bacteria is allowed to grow within the appliance, it can worsen the infection. 1. https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=pneumonia-in-children-90-P02958

How Humidifiers Help with Pneumonia

Get Some Rest A full 8 hours of sleep is especially important during the winter months. Without proper rest, your immune system deteriorates, causing one symptom to lead to another. If you are struggling with a cough or congestion, it can be difficult to fall asleep at night. Thankfully, running a humidifier when it’s time for bed can help clear stuffy nasal passages and ease dry, irritating coughs , so you can have an easier time falling asleep. Many Levoit humidifiers can double as aromatherapy diffusers, allowing you to add essential oils to this mist so you can enjoy relaxing scents like lavender or chamomile. If you use these aromas regularly, your brain will start to associate them with bedtime, which will hopefully help you drift off to sleep more quickly. Soothe Your Sore Throat When you’re feeling under the weather, it can be difficult to focus on anything else. Sore throats are especially distracting. Breathing in cold, dry air on a daily basis irritates your throat. Your home should be an escape from these conditions, but running the heater isn’t enough. A humidifier injects moisture back into your atmosphere, relieving your dry, sore throat and making you more comfortable in general. While you’re at it, don’t forget to treat yourself to something nice. A cup of tea with honey at night will help you get plenty of fluids and keep your throat feeling healthy. Keep Allergies in Check Winter might not be allergy season, but that doesn’t mean sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses take a vacation. More time spent inside means more exposure to indoor allergens like dust mites and mold, not to mention fur and pet dander. Your allergy symptoms can flare up considerably, but a humidifier can give you a break from the discomfort by keeping nasal passages clear. If you also have an air purifier, we recommend running it regularly to limit your exposure to indoor allergens. Relieve Dry Skin During the winter, it’s easy to feel uncomfortable in your own skin. While less noticeable than the other symptoms we mentioned above, dry skin can still keep you feeling out of sorts. Hydrating your air is important for long-term skincare and it can make a bigger difference during this season, especially if you have conditions like dermatitis. Finding the right humidity level for you will go a long way in helping you feel like your normal self, no matter what the conditions outside are like. If you are shopping around for a new humidifier this holiday season, look for one with a warm mist setting. While cool mist humidifiers provide many of the same benefits, warm mist is naturally more enjoyable when the weather is cold. It can also humidify your room more quickly. We hope these tips will help you get the most enjoyment out of this winter and keep you healthy throughout the year ahead.

Keep Your Winter Symptoms to a Minimum

Humidifiers are holistic approaches to home wellness—good for you, your family, and your entire home. Extra moisture in the air not only helps to relieve common allergy symptoms like congestion, coughing, and dry skin, but it comes with other benefits. Better sleep, comfort for little ones, and household care, to name a few. Read on to find out why a humidifier could be the next game-changer in your home wellness routine. How do humidifiers work? Humidifiers can use high vibrations, heating elements, or other methods to vaporize water. These processes produce tiny mist particles, which are then released into your air, creating comfortable indoor humidity even when the weather is dry. All Levoit humidifiers have an auto-shutoff safety feature that turns off the humidifier once it runs out of water. Humidifiers with ultra-fine mist and built-in humidity sensors are particularly helpful if you have a specific humidity level preference. They also significantly reduce the chances of making your environment too humid or getting surroundings wet, as well as help prevent fungus and root rot in your plants as a result of over-humidification. How can I benefit from a humidifier? Combat Nightly Congestion & Flu Symptoms The way we start our day matters. When we sleep in dry air, we can wake up stuffy and groggy—hardly an ideal way to begin our morning routines. So, what causes this? It’s possible that daily activities simply distract us from our congestion, making it more noticeable when we lie down to sleep at night, but that first guess is right: congestion is often worse at night. This is due to several factors. When we lie down, mucus can pool in our throat and nasal passages. The increased blood flow to the upper part of the body can cause inflammation in our nasal passages, potentially worsening congestion. Even acid reflux can play a role in irritation and increase stuffiness. Keeping a humidifier next to your bed provides moisture to these inflamed or congested areas, while simultaneously helping our bodies to break up the mucus and phlegm. Coughs will be more productive and likely less painful. A humidifier with advanced features, such as target humidity options and Auto Mode, will allow you to choose your humidity preference (typically around 40—50% is recommended) and maintain it while you sleep. Additionally, symptoms caused by allergies, or the flu can also be soothed with healthy humidity. As we mentioned before, coughs will be more productive, your skin less dry and itchy, and sore throats less painful. Overall, the road to recovery will be faster and less of a hassle with the helping hand of a humidifier. Kids & Nurseries Finding a successful nighttime routine for your little one makes a world of difference—for both you and them. How? We’ve got two answers: Healthier skin and better sleep. Young skin has had far less exposure to the impacts of aging and long-term pollution, which also makes it more sensitive to changes in humidity and therefore more prone to itchiness and flakiness. Setting up a BPA-free, cool-mist humidifier in the nursery helps protect your baby’s delicate skin from rashes and itchiness caused by dry air. The second answer, one that is especially appealing to sleep-deprived parents, is the upgrade to your little one’s sleep routine. For many children, going to bed is accompanied by anxiety and fear of the dark. The white noise of a humidifier can help fill in the silence that makes them worry. Humidifiers with optional night lights are also helpful, providing a comforting glow that’s not too bright, but just bright enough so they can see their immediate surroundings. With a smart humidifier, parents can even turn on their little one’s humidifier without having to enter the room and disturb their sleep. Plants & Furniture When it comes to your plants, you might be surprised to learn that even desert plants like cacti prefer at least 40% humidity levels, while the average home lands at only about 30% or lower due to the drying effects of air conditioning, heaters, and fans. Through pores on the underside of their leaves called “stomata”, plants intake carbon dioxide and exude the oxygen we breathe. Without proper humidity levels, plants keep their stomata closed for extended periods of time to retain moisture. With closed stomata the plants cannot “breathe”, causing them to wilt and turn brown. Turning on a humidifier helps your plants thrive with a consistent and balanced atmosphere. With a smart humidifier, you can even set timers and schedule times for the humidifier to turn on when you’re away for the day. And finally, even your actual house can benefit from humidity. If you have wood furniture or flooring, keeping moisture in your air can boost the longevity of wooden architecture by helping to prevent dryness, cracking, and brittleness. Why a Levoit humidifier?

<h2>Kids &amp; Nurseries</h2>
Finding a successful nighttime routine for your little one makes a world of difference—for both you and them.
How? We’ve got two answers: Healthier skin and better sleep.
Young skin has had far less exposure to the impacts of aging and long-term pollution, which also makes it more sensitive to changes in humidity and therefore more prone to itchiness and flakiness. Setting up a BPA-free, cool-mist <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">humidifier</a> in the nursery helps protect your baby’s delicate skin from rashes and itchiness caused by dry air.
The second answer, one that is especially appealing to sleep-deprived parents, is the upgrade to your little one’s sleep routine. For many children, going to bed is accompanied by anxiety and fear of the dark. The white noise of a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">humidifier</a> can help fill in the silence that makes them worry. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Humidifiers </a>with optional night lights are also helpful, providing a comforting glow that’s not too bright, but just bright enough so they can see their immediate surroundings. With a smart <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">humidifier</a>, parents can even turn on their little one’s <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">humidifier</a> without having to enter the room and disturb their sleep.
<h2>Plants &amp; Furniture</h2>
When it comes to your plants, you might be surprised to learn that even desert plants like cacti prefer at least 40% humidity levels, while the average home lands at only about 30% or lower due to the drying effects of air conditioning, heaters, and fans. Through pores on the underside of their leaves called “stomata”, plants intake carbon dioxide and exude the oxygen we breathe. Without proper humidity levels, plants keep their stomata closed for extended periods of time to retain moisture. With closed stomata the plants cannot “breathe”, causing them to wilt and turn brown.
Turning on a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D1708C13-3318-4D60-8D89-01CBA2F45279?maas=maas_adg_C61E57359D8386FA323AADCB3D7B4A42_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">humidifier</a> helps your plants thrive with a consistent and balanced atmosphere.

And finally, even your actual house can benefit from humidity. If you have wood furniture or flooring, keeping moisture in your air can boost the longevity of wooden architecture by helping to prevent dryness, cracking, and brittleness.

Benefits of Owning a Humidifier

If you live in a major city like Los Angeles, California, smog and other forms of airborne pollution are a regular part of your life. Due to the high concentration of cars and numerous industries, many dangerous pollutants accumulate in the air and are breathed in every day, which can lead to health problems over time. Read on to learn more about these types of pollutants and what you can do to protect yourself and your home. Types of Pollutants Many pollutants are invisible to the naked eye, making them especially dangerous. Particles that are 2.5 microns in size or smaller (PM2.5 particles) are among the most common pollutants in your air. These particles have a wide variety of sources, from unclean cooking fuels and burning waste to industrial and agricultural industries. They can work their way into both your lungs and bloodstream, increasing the risk of several health problems like heart disease and cancer. Methane is another pollutant produced by agricultural production, specifically the meat and dairy industries. Cows are one of the largest sources of methane in the world. In addition to damaging the environment, methane also poses a threat to your health. It leads to the formation of ground-level ozone, which has been shown to contribute to potentially fatal respiratory illnesses. Another source of ground-level ozone is nitrogen oxide, which is created by automobiles and vehicle emissions. Nitrogen dioxide can cause damage to the heart and respiratory tract. With more vehicles on the road every year, the amount of nitrogen dioxide is only growing. Additionally, you don’t need to leave your home to risk exposure to airborne pollutants. Although we associate cleaning supplies with their fresh scents, they often contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can also be found in other everyday household products like aerosols and personal care products. Once emitted into the air, these gases can be inhaled, increasing your risk of cancer. For more information about common forms of pollution, check out these resources provided by the EPA. What You Can Do Many weather apps and websites provide an Air Quality Index that can alert you to dangerous levels of pollution on a given day. On days of high pollution, it is best to stay inside as much as possible and to wear a protective mask if you do need to go outside, especially if you have asthma or any other sensitive respiratory issues. If you are interested in combatting pollution yourself, there are a variety of ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Walking, cycling, and public transportation are great ways to get where you need to go without burning fuel. In addition to vehicle exhaust, agriculture was one of the most cited sources of pollution in the previous section. Reducing your meat intake is a terrific way to improve your environmental impact. There are other ways to be more intentional with your diet as well. By consuming local produce and seasonal products, you can avoid purchasing food items that have been transported great distances to make it to your grocery store. These are just a few options, but the internet is full of resources on how to be more environmentally conscious. Whatever you choose to do, it will have a positive impact on the world around you. How Air Purifiers Can Help Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. With the right filter, however, air purifiers offer the best possible solution for airborne particles in your home, capturing everyday contaminants like pollen and pet dander as well as many of the pollutants we mentioned above. H13 True HEPA Filters offer thorough protection against PM2.5 particles and even smaller intruders, capturing at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. By removing allergens, airborne diseases, and hazardous materials like soot and ash from your air, the H13 HEPA Filter will improve your health and wellbeing in the short and long run. For smoke, gases, and VOCs, look for an air purifier with a High-Effiency Carbon Filter. These filters feature a high concentration of carbon pellets that help neutralize a variety of smoke and fumes not captured by a HEPA filter. In addition to protecting you from dangerous pollutants, the carbon filter also helps neutralize everyday household odors created by pets, cooking, and more. Meet the Levoit Core™ 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier If you are in the market for an air purifier, the Levoit Core™ 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier represents Levoit’s most powerful and comprehensive protection against airborne pollution.

How To Keep Airborne Pollution Out of Your Home

If your allergies worsen around springtime, you’re not alone. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology estimates that allergic rhinitis, also called hay fever, effects roughly 24.4 million Americans every year. The springtime growth of plants and trees increases airborne pollen counts, and if you live in a humid or rainy state, increased mold may occur. These allergens, along with the usual dust, pet dander, and others, often make spring the worst time of the year for seasonal allergies. Allergy symptoms can spoil our daily activities, comfort, and sleep. An air purifier can help you combat indoor allergens and reclaim your home as a breath of fresh air. Why do I have allergies? When you’re allergic to something, your body sends antibodies to attack it. These antibodies trigger cells to release the chemical histamine. This chemical can cause increased mucus production, sneezing, watery eyes, and more—whatever it takes to flush the allergens out of your body. However, you can always have too much of a good thing, and histamines can cause our bodies to overreact to allergens. That’s why allergy medications are called antihistamines—to help stop or tame your body’s reaction to allergens. How do seasonal allergies affect asthma symptoms? Asthma is diagnosed when a person’s airways are easily inflamed and narrowed by environmental stressors, causing coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Airborne allergens increase inflammation and mucus production—irritating respiratory systems and contributing to asthma flare ups. How do air purifiers help? Ironically, simply staying inside won’t protect you from outdoor allergens. Indoor spaces often have little to no air circulation. Allergens can enter your home every time a door or window opens, and they can even sneak in on your clothes and shoes. An air purifier can help with indoor air circulation. Find an air purifier with a powerful Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) which sucks allergens into its filtration system and releases pure air back into your home. Better air circulation can even help prevent the spread and breeding of bacteria. Another important quality in any good air purifier is its filtration type. H13 True HEPA filtration captures at least 99.97% of 0.3-micron airborne particles—that includes pollen, dust, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. Catching these allergens before they reach you can help you relax without worrying about symptoms. Air purifiers are especially useful for those with babies and children. Their young immune systems can be extra-sensitive to seasonal allergies, messing up their sleep cycles and spoiling playtime. Keep springtime at home enjoyable for everyone by using an air purifier that reduces symptom-causing allergens. Our recommendation? If you’re looking for a powerful air purifier for extra-large spaces, we recommend the Levoit Core™ 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier. With a CADR of 410 CFM, it completely purifies a 635 ft² room 5x per hour. It also comes with 3-stage filtration, which includes a Pre-Filter, H13 True HEPA Filter, and a Custom High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter. The Pre-Filter helps protect the lifespan of the H13 True HEPA Ffilter by trapping large particles like pet fur, hair, and lint. Then the H13 True HEPA filter does its work, filtering out the allergens that make you sneeze, cough, and wheeze. Lastly, the Custom High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter takes care of household odors, fumes, smoke, and VOCs, so you can have a home that feels and smells fresh. With smart control, automated scheduling, air quality scans, and noise levels as low as 26dB, this air purifier is designed to help you thrive in any season.

Find an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/1456DD48-C29D-42C4-A386-60CDDECBFE8E?maas=maas_adg_B7B450EE2D89090F4DDDCC10AC4128DF_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">air purifier</a> with a powerful Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) which sucks allergens into its filtration system and releases pure air back into your home. Better air circulation can even help prevent the spread and breeding of bacteria. 
Another important quality in any good air purifier is its filtration type. H13 True HEPA filtration captures at least 99.97% of 0.3-micron airborne particles—that includes pollen, dust, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. Catching these allergens before they reach you can help you relax without worrying about symptoms.

Their young immune systems can be extra-sensitive to seasonal allergies, messing up their sleep cycles and spoiling playtime. Keep springtime at home enjoyable for everyone by using an air purifier that reduces symptom-causing allergens.

How an Air Purifier Helps Combat Allergies & Asthma

Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start. As the days grow longer and the weather gets warmer, you will likely find you have more energy to tackle some of the projects you have been putting off during the winter months. To help you make the most of this window of opportunity, we put together a list of some of the benefits of spring cleaning. Improve Your Habits Healthy habits are difficult to maintain year-round, especially during a long winter. Even if you have struggled with your New Year's resolutions, spring represents a second chance, giving you the opportunity to form better habits like cleaning, organizing, and staying on top of your health. If you do it right, you will find it easier to keep these habits for many seasons to come. Increase Your Focus Spring cleaning can also work wonders for your concentration. A more organized space and fewer chores hanging over your head will free you up to focus more on other tasks. This increase in productivity will help you feel more energized and help you maintain better habits in the year ahead. In addition to helping you focus more, you will also find that it’s easier to relax at the end of the day. Fewer distractions mean an easier time winding down and getting to sleep at night. Lower Stress Levels If you can find the one thing you have been procrastinating on the most and cross it off your list, it will make a world of difference for your stress levels. Clean the garage. Organize your closet. Donate old items to charity. Whatever the task, you’ll feel great about finally taking care of something you have been dreading. Even better, every other task after that will seem comparatively easy. For some people, it might be better to work up to the big job, but others would benefit from taking care of it right away. No matter what, you will be glad you did, and your stress levels will thank you. Boost Your Immune System At Levoit, we know all about what dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria can do to your health. These contaminants tend to pile up during the winter months. To give your immune system a boost, give your household a deep clean. It is important to keep toilets, bathtubs, and showers extra clean to avoid a buildup of bacteria. Dusting furniture, windowsills, baseboards, and picture frames will keep sneezing to a minimum. Vacuuming rugs, carpets, kitchen tiles, and hardwood floors will also help pick up other allergens like pet fur. If your old vacuum isn’t cutting it anymore, we have the perfect recommendation. Enjoy the Season No matter what spring cleaning looks like for you, it will help you make the most of the season. If you find yourself with some free time on a Saturday afternoon this spring, use that extra positive energy to complete a few chores. It will help you feel more in touch with your environment, and there is no better time for that than spring.

The Benefits of Spring Cleaning

Sometimes we can see what’s affecting our air quality. Floating fibers caught in light, dust coming off old furniture. But most times, we can’t. Some of the most common invisible pollutants are called volatile organic compounds or VOCs. What are they and how do they affect us? What are VOCs? VOCs are classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as “any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates and ammonium carbonate, which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.” In other words, they are compounds which contribute to the formation of ozone. They vaporize quickly at room temperature and therefore go unseen. However, we can smell them most of the time. A few examples include formaldehyde, d-Limonene, toluene, acetone, ethanol, and hexanal. We find them in things like: Aerosol sprays Cleaning products Furniture polish Nail polish remover Paint & paint solvent Gasoline Fuel The list goes on. How do VOCs affect our health? The average person doesn’t run into dangerous levels of VOCs in their daily life. However, they can still cause a lot of discomfort and flu-like symptoms. Most of us probably get headaches when we paint large areas, especially in closed rooms with poor air circulation. Or maybe you get a cough and sore throat while you’re using chemical products for spring cleaning. Other side effects of VOCs include nausea, difficulty breathing, dizziness, skin irritation, and even fatigue. When these symptoms happen, it can be hard to focus on the task at hand, get a good night’s sleep, and enjoy our usual activities. For those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, they can be even more disruptive. How do we remove VOCs? Many products that contain VOCs are hard to avoid, but that doesn't mean we can’t avoid the VOCs themselves. Air purifiers with high amounts of activated carbon can filter VOCs well, reducing our contact with them and their accompanying symptoms. One of our best VOC-filtering air purifiers for large spaces is the Levoit Core™ 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier. Featuring a Custom High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter, it can filter all the VOCs we mentioned, as well as break down trapped molecules with our custom ARC Formula™ to prevent secondhand pollution. Its high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 410 CFM means the Core 600S can filter a 635 ft² room 5x per hour. That means if you’re cleaning a 400 ft² open floor plan—spraying aerosols, kicking up dust, polishing furniture—it would completely change the air in just 8 minutes, helping to reduce and minimize symptoms caused by VOCs and other allergens. Removing pollutants creates a healthy space for you to come home to at the end of the day. Peace of mind is important in wellness, and it’s easier to have when your home’s air quality is protected.

What are VOCs?

Getting your child to sleep is difficult enough as it is, but springtime brings its own unique challenges. Seasonal allergies can wear on the entire family, especially little ones. With the right steps, however, you can minimize symptoms and help everyone stay healthy all season long. Read on to learn more about some of the causes and solutions. What Symptoms Look Like If you are new to parenting, you might not know what to expect when it comes to your child’s seasonal allergies. Although few infants experience allergy symptoms in their first year, knowing what to anticipate is important. Some symptoms might sound familiar to you: watery eyes, itchy noses, and sneezing are just as common in young children as they are in adults. However, your child might also experience wheezing and increased mouth breathing in addition to difficulty sleeping. It is important to pay close attention to your child’s symptoms and to speak to a pediatrician if they become more severe. What You Can Do There are various steps you can take to avoid exposure and ease allergy symptoms. First, it’s important to figure out what is causing your child’s allergies. This time of year, allergens can come from anywhere but being able to tell the sources apart can help you limit exposure. When your child is experiencing an increase in symptoms, rest and exercise are equally important to maintain their overall health. To soothe coughing and sore throats, try incorporating honey into breakfast and snack time. Honey helps coat the throat, reducing irritation and protecting against mucus buildup. Before picking out an allergy medication, it is recommended that you consult with your child’s doctor. How Humidifiers Can Help Air purifiers can help keep allergens out of your home, but humidifiers have their own unique benefits when it comes to allergy symptoms. While a cool compress or a steamy shower might help reduce symptoms, a humidifier is a more consistent solution. Dry air only makes symptoms like coughing, congestion, and sore throats worse. Soothing mist and the right amount of humidity will add healthy moisture to the air, easing these symptoms and making it easier for your child to fall asleep. Cool mist humidifiers are sometimes preferable for parents of young children, but it is always good to have both options. The Levoit LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier lets you choose between both warm and cool mist depending on the season and your child’s needs. You can also control the humidifier remotely from your phone, so you can adjust settings even when you are away from your child’s bedroom. Spring is a wonderful time for families, and we hope this article helps avoid any unpleasant side effects that can come with the season. Thanks for reading!

How You Can Ease Your Child's Allergies

There’s nothing more stressful than rushing to clean before company arrives. But all the hustle and bustle of fluffing pillows and putting away laundry can sometimes stir up dust that settles in all your home's nooks and crannies, making it hard to feel like your cleaning duties are complete. But what is dust, and how do you keep it out of your home? To make your next pre-party experience a little less daunting, we’ve got a few ways that can help you keep your home squeaky clean. What is dust? Dust can come from several different sources. Those clumps in the corners of the room and the pesky layer on the floor can contain a number of different types of particles, including dead skin cells, hair, clothing fibers, soil, and even microscopic bits of plastic. But what makes dust more dangerous than pesky is that those particles can absorb dangerous chemical contaminants over time. As you move about your home, fluffing pillows and putting away laundry, you stir up dust, resuspending it in the air and circulating it throughout your home again and again. How do I keep dust out of my home? While it may not be possible to keep your home permanently dust-free, there are many steps you can take to limit the amount of dust in your home. Set a weekly washing routine Skin cells and stray hair can cling to the fibers of towels, sheets, and pillowcases that you use every day. Washing your linens weekly can help prevent dust mites from gathering by removing particles as well as allergens. And as an added plus, you’ll be keeping everything smelling and feeling fresh as a daisy. Declutter your space Décor can add a personal touch to your space, but clutter on shelves and on the floor can create more surfaces where dust can collect. We’d recommend doing your best to avoid letting clutter accumulate in order to keep your surfaces clean and easy to dust. Vacuum regularly Cleaning with the right tools can make all the difference. Using a vacuum with a HEPA or HEPA-Type filter can limit the amount of dust that escapes back into the air while you’re cleaning. By vacuuming your space 2 or 3 times a week, you can easily remove dust and prevent it from recirculating in your home again. Consider an air purifier For a stylish, effortless solution to dust, consider an air purifier. An air purifier with an H13 True HEPA filter captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Just by using an air purifier in your home, you can easily remove microscopic dust particles floating in your air without even breaking a sweat. Dust can be difficult to conquer, but here at Levoit, we've got high-performance tools to help you keep it under control. From air purifiers that provide real-time air quality updates to vacuums that automatically adjust suction power, we provide intuitive, stylish home wellness solutions to fit your individual needs.

Easy Ways to Keep Dust Out of Your Home

Every spring, April showers coax new life from the earth, freckling our hills with flowery pops of color. All is well, except for one thing. Among these blossoms lies one of the root causes of seasonal allergy symptoms—pollen. What exactly is pollen and how does it affect us? What is Pollen? Pollen is a powdery substance, similar to tiny seeds, emitted from growing plants, grasses, and trees. Bees, wind, and even animals, help spread pollen to other plants, keeping our natural habitats growing and thriving. While the natural process of pollination is good for our planet, it would be more pleasant without the sniffles. It can easily sneak into our airways, stick to our clothing, and hitch a ride on our furry pets, bringing allergy symptoms into our home life. Pollen Allergy Symptoms So why does it make us sneeze and itch and everything else? Every time our bodies encounter a foreign allergen they perceive as a threat, they produce histamines to help flush it out. Histamines trigger our bodies, making our noses run, our eyes water, and causing us to scratch our itchy skin. The severity of our reaction depends on pre-existing health conditions, such as asthma and other respiratory illnesses, and the amount/type of pollen with which we come in contact. Several factors you should pay attention to during pollen season (usually January–April): The current weather patterns (windy weather will spread more airborne pollen) The pollen’s allergenicity (its capacity to cause allergic reactions) How long the pollen season lasts Different ways it can be tracked into your home (after hikes, through open windows, on your pets, etc.) Paying attention to these factors can help you stay aware and ready for what pollen season brings. How to Keep Your Home Pollen-Free Even when you’re paying attention to the aforementioned factors, pollen inevitably sneaks inside. One of the easiest and most effective solutions is to run an air purifier. Air purifiers with H13 True HEPA filtration capture at least 99.97% of 0.3-micron airborne particles, including pollen. H13 True HEPA filters use statically charged fibers to attract and trap airborne particles, providing maximum protection against pollen, dust, pet dander, smoke particles, and more. Air purifiers such as the Core 300S and Core 600S use VortexAir™ Technology in addition to H13 True HEPA filtration. This exclusive technology increases indoor air circulation by drawing in air from all sides, pushing it through the air purifier with curved fan blades, and releasing it through raised vents, creating a vortex of air and increasing the air purifier’s Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). In Summary While pollen season is often accompanied by hay fever symptoms, it doesn’t have to be that way inside your home. Air purifiers help keep your space clean and healthy, so you can do all the outdoor activities you want and come home to an atmosphere that takes care of itself.

What About Pollen Allergies?

The Dangers of Wildfire Smoke With offices based in Southern California, we know just how dangerous wildfires can be to your health. While not everyone in our area is directly affected by seasonal fires, the mixture of dangerous gases, odors, and particles spread by wildfire smoke often has a detrimental impact on nearby communities. Additionally, wildfire smoke can travel for hundreds of miles. According to the National Weather Service, smoke from the 2020 California wildfires rose into the atmospheric jet stream and traveled all the way to the East Coast. In some areas, there was even enough smoke to partially obscure the sun and lower the air temperature. During a study through Climate Central, scientists found that cities within 50–100 miles of active wildfires could experience 5–15 times worse air quality ratings than normal. As wildfires occur more frequently around the world, we wanted to gather information on the danger they pose to your health and how you can protect yourself. Health Concerns To fully understand the danger of wildfire smoke, you need to know what it contains. PM2.5 particulate matter is defined by the EPA as fine, inhalable particles that are generally 2.5 microns or smaller. As wildfires become more common for people across the globe, limiting exposure within the home is an easy way to avoid long-term effects. Who is Most Affected While wildfire smoke is detrimental to everyone’s health, it may affect some more than others. Those with pre-existing health conditions, such as asthma and emphysema, can experience a sharper increase in discomfort. During wildfire season, these people may notice increases in asthma attacks, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Certain age groups, such as children and the elderly, may also be at an increased risk during wildfire season. As children’s lungs are still developing, and the elderly are more likely to have heart and lung sensitivities, an extra dose of precaution is ideal for these two groups. Apart from physical effects, anxiety is perhaps the most universal effect when it comes to wildfire season. In times of worry, it’s helpful to remain in close contact with friends and family—even a quick phone call or visit makes a huge difference. Take a deep breath, remind yourself that this season won’t last forever, and make preparations beforehand to help yourself feel confident and in control.

As a result, our products have created a global community of home wellness enthusiasts, brightening their daily routines with products that do what they promise. Now, after becoming the #1 selling air purifier brand in the US*, we're introducing the Levoit VortexIQ™ 40 Flex Cordless Stick Vacuum. What’s Different About This Vacuum Vacuuming is one of America’s most dreaded chores. Dragging a heavy object from room to room is tiring, not to mention vacuuming the same spot over and over again—because are you sure you got everything? Enter the sleek VortexIQ 40. Though the vacuum weighs just over 7 pounds, its 130AW suction power is strong enough to pick up a 6.5-pound weight. This makes the vacuum ideal for both small and large tasks, whether you’re cleaning carpet or hard floors. Next up, Auto Mode. DPC (Dynamic Power Control) Technology™ uses an infrared sensor to detect debris, while Auto Mode adjusts the suction power accordingly. This means you don’t have to keep your vacuum on high the whole time, optimizing runtime (up to 40 minutes) and cleaning efficiency. The VortexIQ 40 also uses 4-stage HEPA filtration to help stop particles from being released into your air while you vacuum. Two HEPA-type filters trap dust, pollen, and pet dander, while a metal filter protects them from large debris, such as crumbs and pet hair, that has been separated out by the strong cyclone effect. Combined, these thoughtful features create an energy-efficient vacuum that seamlessly cleans messes and eliminates guesswork—taking the stress out of the mess. *Source: The NPD Group / Retail Tracking Service, US unit sales, 24 months ending December 2021.

Meet the VortexIQ™ 40 Vacuum

When it comes to home wellness, you want the best tools by your side. The Levoit VortexIQ™ 40 Cordless Stick Vacuum hosts a variety of thoughtful features to make vacuuming easier and faster. Strong Suction Power Motivating yourself to clean is hard when your vacuum’s unreliable. Sometimes you can’t tell if it’s getting everything. Other times, the trail of crumbs behind you says no, it is not. The VortexIQ 40 Cordless Vacuum features 130AW suction power, taking the hassle out of the chore. With one pass, you can clean carpet, hard flooring, or tiling, catching both large and small litter. Auto Mode When your cordless vacuum has multiple suction power levels, it’s tempting to leave it on High—that way you’re sure to get everything. This strategy, however, drains your battery fast, leaving you less time to vacuum before having to recharge. Using an infrared sensor, DPC™ (Dynamic Power Control) Technology detects the amount of debris and adjusts the suction power for you, maximizing runtime and battery life. You can view debris and suction power levels on the vacuum’s control panel, allowing you to move from mess to mess without worrying about what’s left behind. 4-Stage HEPA Filtration In addition to regular debris, the VortexIQ 40 Cordless Vacuum captures 99.99% of 0.3-micron particles*, such as fine dust, pollen, and pet dander. The system works like this: Strong Cyclone Effect: Separates out large particles Metal Filter (Washable): Blocks hair and dust, while smaller particles pass through the holes HEPA-Type Pre-Filter (Washable): Traps 99.99% of 0.3-micron particles* HEPA-Type Main Filter (Washable): Captures additional allergens With a system that traps the tiny things (things we can’t even see sometimes), you can help reduce the amount of sneeze and cough-causing particles left on your floors and furniture. This also allows you to vacuum and dust less often, creating more time for activities you enjoy. Battery Life Lightweight yet powerful, this cordless design can vacuum for up to 40 minutes at a time. Clean your bedroom, kitchen, living room, furniture—whatever else you can fit—in a single go before having to recharge. When you’re finished vacuuming, store the vacuum and its accessories on the mountable charging dock. Accessories Included accessories allow you to reach every nook and cranny. Use the 2-in-1 Dusting Brush to clean couch cushions while the Telescoping Crevice Tool captures all the debris in between. These are also great tools to clean car seats, ledges, and cabinet spaces. V-Shaped Separators Four separators slightly lift the vacuum head off the floor. This design allows large particles to enter the suction area, whereas a standard vacuum might just push these larger pieces of debris forward. LED Lights With the vacuum head’s 6 LED lights, you can vacuum in shadowed and dimly lit areas without missing a spot. Illuminate your path with a vacuum that’s determined to keep your floors as clean as possible. Shop the VortexIQ 40 Cordless Vacuum today! *Based on third-party testing by GTT Service Co., LTD.

The VortexIQ™ 40 Cordless Vacuum’s Best Features

Are lower test scores something you can breathe in? In 2016, a controlled study examined the role air quality plays in our daily cognitive functioning. They set up two offices—a “Green” building with low airborne pollution levels and a “Conventional” building with higher airborne pollution levels. During six full workdays, they studied the effects different concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide, and general ventilation had on workers’ cognitive scores. The conclusion found that the Green building workers scored up to 101% higher than the Conventional building workers, shocking everyone with the dramatic impact clean air can have on focus and cognitive clarity. So how can airborne pollution affect our cognitive clarity? Consistently bad air quality can trigger allergy symptoms, distracting us with congestion, coughing, and itchy skin. It can even lead to increased neuroinflammation, which can impact our mood and motivation levels. Whether you're setting up your dorm room or creating an at-home study space, it’s important to prep your environment for success. One of the easiest ways to keep your space fresh is with our favorite duo: an air purifier and humidifier. An air purifier removes unwanted airborne contaminants, while a humidifier puts moisture back into your air, helping to reduce congestion and cold symptoms. Our Favorite Picks Levoit Classic 300S Ultrasonic Smart Humidifier Worried about cold and flu season?

Why Air Purifiers & Humidifiers are Great for Back-to-School Season

Summertime is upon us! While we always welcome a little fun in the sun, warm weather can be rough on your skin, your energy levels, and your general wellness. Adding a humidifier to your space this summer can help you not only create a comfortable indoor atmosphere, but it also provides several benefits for your overall health, too. Hydrate Your Skin The first rule of flawless skin? Hydration, hydration, hydration. Especially when it’s warm out, proper hydration helps to improve your skin’s elasticity while also preventing your skin from producing excess sebum. While you can stay hydrated by regularly drinking water, your body can also absorb water from the air around you. So, maintaining a level of 40–60% Relative Humidity in your space adds just enough moisture to the air to help give your skin the boost you need to make sure you look and feel your best. Improve Your Sleep After spending a day in the sun, a great night’s sleep is the best way to help you recover and reset. Quality rest gives your body the opportunity to heal and repair. However, dry air in your sleeping space can make it difficult and uncomfortable to sleep. Humidifiers help moisturize your nose and throat while you’re asleep, so you can breathe peacefully. As an added benefit, proper humidification can help prevent congestion and snoring, so you (and your partner) can enjoy plenty of beauty sleep. De-Stress with Essential Oils Sometimes, creating a carefree summer atmosphere is as simple as adding the right fragrance. Using a 2-in-1 humidifier and diffuser can help you de-stress by adding soothing essential oils to your space. More than just a pleasant scent, essential oils from Roman chamomile and cedarwood, amongst others, can help improve your mood, while the aromas of sweet orange and peppermint can help keep you focused for all your summertime DIY projects. Humidifiers bring incredible health and wellness benefits to help you make the most of your summer. Levoit’s collection of intuitive, stylish humidifiers are designed to take you and your space into summertime and beyond.
