It has been so damp and rainy lately! So to add insult to injury, my allergy to mold and mildew has reared it's ugly head! My basement was so stinky with mildew, that I just had to sanitize it!
How do I do that? I just take my Ecoquest Fresh Air down there, and put it on sanitize (or "away") mode for a few hours, and you could NEVER tell that it had smelled that bad! It smells like the air after a thunderstorm! Nice and fresh!
I love my "Fresh Air"!!!

How Fresh is Your Indoor Air?
My dad has a pretty severe case of Emphysema. He decided to but an Ecoquest Fresh Air purifier from me, when he tested a unit that I brought to him, and he could breathe better. His wife also told me that he stopped snoring since they put it on a shelf OUTSIDE their bedroom!
This was in the month of March when it's still pretty cold in Massachusetts. I called him in late April to see how he was doing, and he said, "I'm having a hard time breathing again." I asked him if he had his Fresh Air purifier running, and he said, "no, we have the windows open during the day now, so I'm getting plenty of fresh air naturally." I told him that now all the pollen (especially pine pollen)and pollution from the city was coming in the windows, and that in the evening, when he shut the windows, that stuff was stuck inside his house. I asked him why he shut the purifier off, and he told me it was a waste of electricity. I told him to turn it back on, and see if it didn't help. I also told him that the Fresh Air only uses $30 of electricity in a YEAR!!!
Well, low and behold, his breathing improved, whether the windows were open or closed! So now he uses it 24 hours a day. Isn't that amazing?

Dust mites are everywhere!
Boy, am I glad I sanitized my bed with my Fresh Air this week! I have slept so well since then, because I did not wake up with a stuffy nose. Those dust mites are nasty critters. Have you ever seen what they look like magnified? They are gross!
I think I'm going to do my loveseat and chair in my living room tonight! Then when I sit there and watch a movie I won't be sneezing from the ugly little dust mites!

Fall Allergies
Fall seems to be MY worst time to deal with my allergies. I made a very big mistake the other night. I woke up at 3 AM sneezing like crazy! I realized that, because it was nice and cool, I had left the windows open in my bedroom, and the breeze closed my door to the hallway, where my Ecoquest Fresh Air air purifier sits. It could not combat the allergens that were coming in my windows because my door was closed!
Of course, now I prop my door open so that will not close so my Fresh air can do it's job!
About every month or 2 I actually take the Fresh Air and put in on sanitize mode right in the middle of my open bed to kill the dust mites that come to live in it. I found that I was allergic to them too, and when I sanitize my bed, I know longer sneeze from the dust mites and their excrement!
Do you wake up stuffed up in the morning? You would be amazed how sanitizing your bed/bedclothes/pillows etc. will make that stuffiness go away. It works wonders for me!

Did you ever think that there are a few important things to consider when shopping for an air purifier?
First, did you know there is a difference between air filters and air purifiers? First, I want you to think about how your house smells after popping popcorn in your microwave. In fact, think about how BAD your house smells after BURNING popcorn in your microwave! The smell goes to EVERY corner of your house! AND if you put the burnt popcorn in your trash, you cannot even get the smell out of there, even after you remove it the next day to another location!
Just think for a minute about if you could SEE what you can smell! Those little things may not be seen with the naked eye, but they DO exist! They travel and land on any surface there is.
Well, that is how a GOOD air purifier works! It travels to EVERY nook and cranny, and lands on every surface. If you have an air filter, the particulates(the one you cannot see) have to PASS THROUGH the filter to be taken care of...right?
But an air PURIFIER sends out activated oxygen molecules everywhere, and changes the molecular structure of the particulates. It eliminates dust from the air, but also neutralizes the particulates that have already landed on the surfaces. Those are the ones that could NEVER pass through a filter as they are sitting still where they land.
So just as the popcorn smell travels everywhere, so does the purifier technology, eliminating the allergens.
Ecoquest Air Purifiers also kill bacteria on surfaces, so remember, PURIFIER instead of filter is the way to go!

Water Quality is Important too!
JOIN THE SUDS-FREE REVOLUTION!
By Lynn Drawbridge
Two years ago I was spending a fortune on laundry detergent, bleach and fabric softener. And that's not to mention the hot water I used to wash my son's rugby clothes and various and sundry other filthy things of his. My husband was doing landscaping, and I had a hard time getting the dirt out of his clothing too.
Then I found a way to stop using detergent! Yes, I said two years ago I stopped using laundry detergent. But I also stopped using bleach, fabric softener and HOT WATER!!!
I know there are many people who also have bad skin allergies, and they suffer from itching and rashes from the detergent that gets left on their clothes. I had NO IDEA that stuff STAYED on your clothes! I also had no idea that detergent FADES your clothes also. I am amazed at how NEW our clothes look even two years later!
AND I had NO IDEA that using soap on things like towels made them feel rough. I thought I just needed to add fabric softener or dryer sheets. AND I couldn't find dryer sheets that had a scent that I liked, as well as they made me have itchy eyes and a stuffy nose!
Well, I was wrong! I NEVER use any fabric softener OR dryer sheets, and my towels are so thick and fluffy and soft sometimes I cannot believe it! But it is true! You can wash everything with NOTHING BUT WATER! Imagine the money that I am saving!
I'LL BET YOU DON'T KNOW HOW!

EPA: Air Quality #1 Environmental Issue Today
Are you, or anyone you know, suffering from smoke, allergies, asthma, mold, mildew, pollen, dust mites, pet dander or odor problems? Our air purifiers are not medical devices, but they can help many people in many of these problem areas to breathe wonderful purified air, just like the air after a thunderstorm!
Did you know that 70% of the American public suffers from some type of breathing problem? The EPA has determined that indoor air pollution is our #1 environmental issue because we have insulated and sealed our homes and office buildings, trapping many hazardous chemicals, viruses, allergens and bacteria INSIDE. Wouldn't it be great if a thunderstorm could come in and purify our indoor air???
Ecoquest air purifiers are called just that: “a Thunderstorm in a Box”!!!
Ecoquest International, based in Greeneville, TN, has developed a technology called “ActivePure” which can kill mold, mildew, dust mites and many forms of bacteria, including e coli, salmonella, pseudomonas, Avian flu and even MRSA!!! All our testing was done at Kansas State University.
