An air freshener is a great tool to have. After all, who doesn't want a home that's clean and air that's clean to breath? There are many types of air fresheners on the market, but what you should be looking for isn't a type of freshener that will simply mask the smell of the air. Just because it smells like flowers or vanilla doesn't mean that the air that you are breathing in is actually clean! Yet, there are a number of different products that can help you to actually clean the air that you breathe in.
For one option, consider an air purifier. These units work in several different ways, but their ultimate goal is to clean out the toxins and pollutants that are lurking, undetectable in the air that you breathe. For that reason, look at these options.
Ozone purifiers also known as ionic air purifiers work by producing "ozone" which is released into the air. The ozone interacts with the air particles that it finds and neutralizes them, making them no longer harmful, smelly or even pollutants any longer. The other type of air purifier that provides air freshener benefits is that of a simple purifying unit that uses filtration. Here, air must circulate into the filter of the unit, go through these layers of filtration and then is pumped back out for you to breathe. Each of these options works differently, but each provides a better solution to you than breathing in air that is unhealthy and unclean.
Air freshener products that simply spray a perfume like substance into the air are definitely not worth your money. After all, they simply are not cleaning the air only hiding the odors that are a tell tale sign of something else lurking. Consider an alternative that will clean the air you breathe instead.

By: oab626 | 24-08-2008
Next to my master bedroom,I build a walking closet. It is one step down to a lower attic.In essence the closet is the middle portion of a triangular shaped roof attic.It is very hot in the closet,even though there is a ridge vent.Also, there is an aircondition exhaust vent coming from my bedroom.It is useless.It is still extremely hot.The finished ceiling has insulation, the space is maybe 10". The two long walls are 15' & the outer wall 10'.I need to know how to exhaust the heat out.There are days when I don't need to put on the air condition because it is very pleasent-Why should I put on the air conditioner to waste money and desn't do the job.
Is it best to put a regular attic fan or a solar powered attic fan.I want the best possible job and the least mess,
Is it possible since the closet sits in the highest point ofthe attic the fan should be installed behind the long wall where there is an actual attic, at the rooftop. This way a 10'' to a 12'' flex pipe attached to the fan andput a
grill into the closet wall, so the heat escapes through the roof.
Please advise me soon.
Thanking you in advance,
Ray
