All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine. For me, a good night’s sleep is essential to being productive the following day!  Who knew that I was missing out on a REALLY good night’s sleep?  I had no idea until we tried a new, high-tech air purification system called Airocide®.  I wish we could have one in every room in our house, but for right now, it’s in the Master Bedroom. Allergies play a big part in my life and when they act up, I can feel pretty dang miserable.  In our home, allergies and even a few issues with eczema, have affected members of our family.  I had no idea that the air quality in our home can actually contribute to eczema, allergy and even asthma problems. How does the Airocide® Air Purifier work?  Airocide draws in harmful airborned pathogens (VOC’s, allergens, pet dander, etc.) and forces them into a densely packed matrix which destroys them on contact.  Nothing is captured so there is nothing to clean (i.e. no filters).  All that exits is crisp, clear air.  

The company has spent more than a decade testing and retesting Airocide, and has found that typical Airocide users feel all-around better between four and six weeks.  They even have customer testimonials to prove it: “Our son has had eczema for years. We had been using several steroid creams all these years with little or no success. But, when we put the Airocide machine in his room, we noticed within weeks the eczema had cleared up. We then started backing off the steroid creams until the eczema came back. Now, with the perfect combination of Airocide and the steroid cream, the problem is solved.” – Ari Silverman – Denver, CO When setting up your Airocide unit, be sure to place it anywhere from one to eight feet off the ground for optimal performance.  It can be placed on top of a table, dresser, nightstand or shelf – just make sure it’s off the ground!  The point of elevating it is to allow for airflow all around.  It is recommended that your Airocide is placed in your bedroom (or whoever’s bedroom is testing it out), since this is likely where you spend most of your time while at home.

The technology behind the Airocide Air Purifier was born in NASA when space station astronauts needed to eliminate the ethylene gas produced by their fruits onboard shuttles.  What was developed was an air purification technology that eliminates 99% of ethylene gas from the air without filters or any harmful emissions.  Commercial units were then introduced in 1998 to food packers, florists and grocery chains to extend the shelf life of their products. Further testing showed the Airocide® Air Purifier was virtually 100% effective in destroying Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) – basically the bad stuff that’s emitted by products you have around your home, like aerosol sprays, cleaning supplies, disinfectants, hobby supplies, dry-cleaned clothing, paints and paint thinners, strippers, pesticides and even air fresheners. Furthermore, Airocide Air Purifier eliminates pollen, dust mites, viruses, bacteria and other biological pollutants traditional air purifiers couldn’t even attempt.

These findings were truly a breath of fresh air. In 2003 the Airocide Air Purifier was introduced into hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, dental offices, daycare centers and prisons to help stop the spread of infectious disease. Further studies consistently demonstrate dramatic reductions in mold and bacteria counts. Try Airocide in your home for at least six weeks, and if you don’t feel better, they’ll give you your money back. In fact, you may notice a difference sooner – typically Airocide users feel better between four and six weeks. Consumers have up to 60-days from purchase date to return the unit for a full refund and must provide proof of date of purchase. To receive money back, the unit must be functional, undamaged, and unaltered. We love the Airocide Air Purifier and wish we had one for each room in our home!  Not only does it help us sleep better, but we feel healthier overall.  This is definitely a great investment, especially for those who suffer from allergies or eczema.
