Air purifiers are a game changer when you’re surrounded by unclean air. In fact, I have two air purifiers running at all times in my apartment, both running next to my cat’s two litter boxes. It might seem excessive but there’s nothing better than breathing clean,

Bissell’s air purifier has three filters built in, so it can suck invisible pollutants out of the air as well as more obvious ones, like pet hair and lint. It’s fast-acting, too, as one customer shared, “Within 20 minutes of running, I could definitely smell the difference in the air.”

Firefighters are making progress containing the devastating wildfires that started breaking out over a week ago in the LA area. But even as red flag warnings expired and heavy winds died down, another danger has remained: poor air quality across much of the Los Angeles County area that has health officials urging people to take precautions including staying indoors when possible and wearing N-95 masks.

If you need to clean your air immediately and don't have an air purifier at home, here's how to make a DIY air purifier at home.
