Would an air purifier, the amount of dust in a room to reduce?
It does not matter how much I clean when I look back on everything seems to be covered with hair and dust. I know there’s no way to prevent it entirely, but would be something like an air purifier helps to reduce the amount? Any suggestions for what to get? Reply

yes it helps a lot.
Buying an air purifier can help a lot with the battle with dust, pollen, pet dander and even mold spores. The one thing you should remember is many of these air purifiers are not as good as you think they are. A good air purifier costs a bit of money and if you are on a budget their aren’t too many that can get the job done especially for a wide area.
Since you only want to clean 1 room, which is an optimal size for most air purifiers you can get the Whirlpool 510 or the Honeywell 50250, which both have “True HEPA Air Filters”. These air filters stop 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. This may mean nothing too you, but a human hair is 10 microns and dust and pollen is around 1 to 4 microns in size. So it will catch things even smaller than what you are going after. Most regular “HEPA-like or HEPA-type” are not real HEPA air filters and these are the ones you find at WALMART. You can guess how good most of those are. generally they stop 90% of particles down to 1 micron, which may sound good, but when you barely see a change in your problem you will start thinking what the problem is.
Finally if you want some real cleaning of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and hazardous VOCs two good air purifier companies are IQ Air and Austin Air. Their room air purifiers start at around $ 400 dollars, but for good reason. Many people don’t have air quality problems this bad in their home to justify this purchase, but if you want to see a difference this will do it. For reference the IQ Air purifier’s air filter stops 98.5% of particles down to 0.03 microns in size.
