Where to Place an Air Purifier for the Best Results

The same purifier can perform very differently depending on where you put it. A few placement rules get far more out of the unit you already own.

Put it where you spend time

A purifier only cleans the room it is in. Prioritise the bedroom, then the living room — moving one unit between rooms works better than leaving it somewhere you rarely sit.

Give it room to breathe

• Leave clear space around the intake and outlet — usually at least 30 cm.
• Do not push it hard against a wall or tuck it behind a sofa or curtain.
• Avoid corners, where airflow stalls.

Height and airflow

A stable floor position near the middle of the room, away from obstructions, works well for most units. Slightly raised placement can help circulation in larger spaces.

Close the loop

• Keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so you are not filtering the outdoors.
• Place it near the source if you have one — a litter tray, kitchen doorway or a smoky area.
• Run it continuously on a low setting rather than in short bursts on high.

Good placement costs nothing and improves results immediately. See our range to find a unit sized for the room you want to treat.
