In 2020, we’ve all stepped up our personal hygiene and cleanliness game. I mean, a year ago, I definitely wasn’t washing my hands 42 times a day, wiping down surfaces like it’s my full time job, and dedicating an entire drawer to face masks- each to coordinate with my various choices of loungewear. And I’m certainly more aware of the invisible pathogens lurking in the air we are breathing in that can potentially make me and my family sick.
Of course, as we enter a new year, we will still have to be diligent about hand washing, mask wearing, and social distancing, but if there is more I can do to protect my family against viruses like COVID-19 and influenza, I want to be on top of it. One of my goals going into 2021 is improving the air quality in my home so we can breathe easy, knowing our air is clean and disease-causing pathogen free.
I’ve been meaning to replace and upgrade the builder-grade ceiling fan in our living room for several years now, and was thrilled to learn that there is a company, Big Ass Fans, that makes fans that are both attractive and purify the air. Big Ass Fans’ Clean Air System pairs scientifically proven air purifying technologies with powerful airflow solutions. This results in a system that kills 99.99% of pathogens to keep your people protected. And yes, this includes the pathogens that cause COVID-19 and influenza. This is huge! My home is the one place I want myself and my family to feel completely safe and secure, and breathing clean, safe air is a big part of that.
I’m not much of a science nerd, but I found reading about the technology used in these fans fascinating. Big Ass Fans’ Clean Air System incorporates Ion and UV-C Disinfection Technology into its fans. Ion Disinfection Technology is typically applied in industrial and large commercial spaces, like warehouses, distribution centers and gyms. UV-C Disinfection Technology is more often applied to residential and small commercial spaces, like restaurants, classrooms, studios, offices and homes.
The fan I am considering for our home, The Haiku, uses UV-C Disinfection Technology. UV-C light has been a scientifically proven disinfectant for over 70 years. In fact, the CDC endorses this technology as a supplement to help inactivate SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. By incorporating UV-C technology with their fans, Big Ass Fans are able to move pathogens through an upper-air-level disinfection zone – continuously and safely providing clean air where it’s needed most- in the spaces where my family and I spend the most time breathing the air.
I want to get one of these fans into my home and protecting my family as soon as I can- preferably before the ball drops on New Years Eve and we say “Bye Felicia!” to 2020. I’m doing a happy dance that Big Ass Fans is having an end of the year sale offering customers up to 40% off select products with Promo Code BYE2020. I’ll definitely be taking advantage of these savings and so should you! Let’s all make breathing easy one of our resolutions for 2021.
