Honeywell Air Cleaners are designed to purify your home or office air, removing allergens and helping you to breathe easier. The cleaners work by trapping dust, debris and other allergens in the air filters within the system. Although the main air filters should be replaced eventually and cannot be cleaned by hand, you can reduce the frequency of replacing filters by cleaning the pre-filter as necessary.
Step 1
Remove the air filter from the air purifier while outside. Removing it in the house will release allergens into the air.
