Pet dander is tiny skin flakes and proteins from cats and dogs. It sticks to dust and fabrics. Movement keeps it in room air. Regular cleaning and whole home filtration help reduce pet dander in your home.
Pet dander is made of tiny flakes of skin. These flakes carry proteins that can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. Proteins from saliva and urine can dry on fur and travel as dander. Dander is very small and light. Its jagged shape helps it cling to hair, fabrics, furniture, and dust. It can stay in room air and on surfaces even after the pet leaves.
These steps lower the amount of dander that can be stirred back into room air.
Choose a portable purifier that uses True HEPA. Put it in the rooms where you spend the most time such as the bedroom or living room. Keep the intake and outlet clear.
Your central return filter cleans the air that moves through the system and helps every room on your ductwork.
Upgrade to a pleated MERV 11 if you have pets. Filterbuy’s electrostatic media helps capture about 95% of airborne particles and targets pet dander, lint, dust, pollen, mold spores, smoke, and smog while maintaining steady airflow in most well-maintained systems.
Use the exact size your return slot is built for and install in the direction shown on the unit label. The rigid frame and deep pleats support performance for up to 90 days. Check monthly and replace every 1 to 3 months based on dust and use.
Use allergen proof encasements on pillows and mattresses. Wash bedding and throw blankets weekly using the hottest water the label allows. Prefer washable shades over heavy drapes and choose low pile or washable rugs where possible.
Make the bedroom pet dander-free. Run a True HEPA purifier in that room every day if pet allergies are bad.
Install Filterbuy MERV 11 pleated filter as it picks up pet dander, dust mite debris, and many mold spores for better indoor air quality.
If litter or wet-dog smells bother you, add Filterbuy’s Odor Eliminator option with activated carbon in your HVAC filter. Keep the room HEPA for particles and let carbon help with gases at the system level.
Vacuum with a HEPA vacuum. Launder bedding weekly in hot water. Mop hard floors and wash throw rugs on a routine.
Keeping dander lower takes routine cleaning, a True HEPA purifier where you live and sleep, and a MERV 11 return filter for whole-home coverage. Pair these steps and you will see cleaner surfaces, steadier airflow, and fewer allergy flare-ups.
Tiny skin flakes and proteins from cats and dogs that stick to dust fabrics and surfaces and can stay airborne after movement.
Yes. A room purifier with True HEPA captures fine allergen particles. Size it by CADR to match the room.
Use the highest MERV your system safely supports. Many homes use MERV 11 or MERV 13 for better capture of smaller particles.
Put it in the rooms you use most like the bedroom or living room. Keep intake and outlet clear by a few feet.
Vacuum carpets rugs and upholstery at least weekly with a vacuum that has a sealed body and a HEPA or small particle filter.
Make the bedroom pet free. Close the door at night. Wash bedding weekly in the hottest water the label allows.
No. HEPA targets particles. For smells use activated carbon in addition to particle filtration.
Filtration only happens when air flows. Use a circulate setting or periodic fan runs to push more air through a MERV 11 or MERV 13 filter if your system allows.
Use bath and kitchen exhaust fans and keep indoor humidity in a moderate range to reduce particle resuspension and mold risk.
Use Filterbuy pleated MERV 11 or MERV 13 filters for whole home capture and choose the Odor Eliminator option with activated carbon if smells are a concern.
