CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The air we breathe contains particles that may be

allergens: mite larvae and droppings, mould, pollen,

smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine).

The smallest particles penetrate deep into the

respiratory system where they can cause

inflammation and cause lung impairment.

HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air) are used

to filter out the smallest particles.

With the HEPA filter, the air released back into the

room is healthier than the air that is vacuumed.
