How to Remove Wildfire Smoke & Smoke Smell From Your Home

by Carol Trimmer March 01, 2015

Let’s face it. The pollutants and smell from wildfire smoke, cigarettes, cigars or even your fireplace can pose health risks and the smell can linger for a long time.

Sure, you love your fireplace, but did you know it is a source of ash dust, carcinogenic tars, and carbon monoxide? Probably not substances you want to breathe.

Fortunately, there is a solution. The right air purifier or air cleaner is effective at removing the wildfire smoke pollutants, cigarette smoke and smell as well as fireplace smoke and pollutants.

It is possible for you to be safer from wildfire smoke and enjoy your fireplace and live healthier with a smoker.

Air Purifiers That Remove Dangerous Smoke Pollutants

To effectively remove wildfire, cigarette and fireplace smoke, you’ll need an air purifier with a HEPA filter as well as an activated carbon filter.

Why?

The HEPA and carbon filters eliminate the larger particles AND the gaseous pollutants called VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds. Really, the only way to remove the smoke smell and dangerous contaminants is an air purifier that handles both contaminant types.

So that means that simply purchasing an air purifier with a HEPA filter will not solve your problem with the smoke smell.
