Bacteria, microscopic particles of dust and dirt and even gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide can all be found floating around in the air in our homes.
Though it’s proven that our beloved - though high-maintenance - house plants do go some way to purifying the air we’ve breathing in as we sit on our sofas or sit down for a family meal, they aren’t nearly as effective as a proper air purifier.
Up until now, they’ve always been quite clunky, noisy gadgets, associated more with industrial spaces rather than infiltrating the harmony of the home, but a whole host of house-friendly options are now available.
Top of the list is this Portable Air Purifier, otherwise called a Desktop USB Air Cleaner, which will filter out 99.97% of dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, odours, mould spores, and pet dander.
Not only does it help minimise allergies, lessen illness and help get rid of unwanted smells, an air purifier is also said to be good for emotion lifting. Is there anything this little gadget can’t do?

To work it, simply plug it into your laptop to charge and the mini purifier will then work for up to eight hours.
And according to the 1,716 customer ratings online, it has all manner of uses:
“Used in the en suite of a student flat to remove waste smells from pipes,” one customer wrote.
While another explained: “My son suffers with really nasty hayfever so I turn this on in the room and can feel the difference in air quality with other rooms too.”
It’s basically the closest we’re ever going to get to living in the furthermost corner of The Highlands in terms of fresh air.
