How to Maintain Your Air Purifier and Care for Its Filters

Clean the pre-filter regularly

The pre-filter collects the most visible dust and clogs fastest, especially in India’s dusty conditions. Many are washable — clean it every couple of weeks (check your manual), let it dry fully, and refit it. A clean pre-filter protects the costlier HEPA layer.

Replace the HEPA and carbon filters on time

HEPA and carbon filters can’t be washed and revived — once saturated, they stop working well. Follow the maker’s recommended replacement schedule; in heavily polluted areas you may need to replace them sooner. A filter-change indicator helps you keep track.

Always unplug before opening

Switch off and unplug the unit before opening it to clean or change filters. Never run a purifier with the cover open or a filter missing — it won’t clean properly and can pull dust into the motor.

Wipe the exterior and sensors

Dust the outer housing and gently clean the air-quality sensor (often a small vent on the side). A dusty sensor gives wrong AQI readings and can make auto mode behave oddly.

Keep it positioned well

Place the purifier with space around its intake and outlet — not jammed against a wall or behind furniture. Good airflow lets it clean the room efficiently.

Run it smartly

Run it on higher settings during peak pollution or dusty periods, and on quiet/auto mode otherwise. Consistent use with clean filters is what keeps your air genuinely fresh.
