Dust and Household Odors are No Match for the New Febreze™ Air Purifier

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Stale and stinky bedrooms, dorm rooms, ripe kitchen odors and dusty, musty basements are just a few scenarios that rub the nose the wrong way, but these don't stand a chance against the new Febreze^™ Air Purifier. This powerful air purifier removes particles that are typically invisible to the naked eye, but can contribute to household odors and dust build-up on surfaces. The Febreze™ air purifier does triple duty: it cleans the air through HEPA-Type filtration that removes up to 99% of airborne particles^[1] such as dust, pollen, pet dander, pet fur and other airborne contaminants, it traps household odors and it adds a fresh Febreze^™ scent to the filtered air.

"Keeping up with dusting alone can be an overwhelming, time intensive task," says Julie Edelman, The Accidental Housewife and expert in healthy home keeping and maintenance. "Add to that the challenge of odor elimination that comes with pets, dirty laundry, damp basements, teenagers, sports equipment and the never ending variety of smells coming from the kitchen, and you have your hands full. The new Febreze^™ Air Purifier does a powerful job of continuously cleaning the air of dust, pollen, pet hair and more and it helps restore the feeling of freshness to your home, so you can feel confident that cleaner, fresher air is circulating in your room."

In addition to providing, exceptional air cleaning and freshening, Febreze™ air purifiers are easy to use, requiring a simple dual-action HEPA-Type filter that lasts up to four months. User-friendly controls help customize the air purifier for every room's needs, with 3 air-cleaning levels and a freshness control dial for the Febreze^™ air purifier scent cartridge – so you control the scent.  Automatic scent and filter replacement indicator lights remind the user to replace the scent cartridge and/or filter to ensure optimal performance. The air purifiers come with the Febreze^™ dual action HEPA-Type filter (1 or 2 filters, depending on model) and one Febreze^™ Linen & Sky^™ scent cartridge. Scent cartridges last up to 30 days and refills are available in Linen & Sky^™ and Spring & Renewal^™ scents.  Designed to accommodate any room, the Febreze^™ Air Purifiers are available in tabletop, compact tower and tower-sized models.

Available at most major retailers, the Febreze^™ Air Purifier is offered at the following suggested retail prices: Tabletop (FHT170W) for $59.99, Compact Tower (FHT180W/FHT180V) for $69.99 and Tower (FHT190W/FHT190V) for $89.99. For more information, visit www.FebrezeAirPurifiers.com.
