Why does my air purifier make the room smell different immediately after replacing the filter?
Our answer
New activated-carbon filters can emit temporary packaging odours; check packaging is removed and ensure filter is maker-approved before running.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
