Which one to Choose?
If you were not interested in having the air filter before, then, after knowing some ideas for the DIY air filter that can be cheap and easy, I do believe that there won’t be any reason for you not to have the air filter to clean your home from the dust.
Furthermore, with so many choices of air filter projects that you choose, you might a little bit confused. Here we will tell you the excess of each choice.
- The Fan Air Purifier is the simple one but it won’t fit if you have a toddler at home because it doesn’t have a cover and is quite risky if the toddler plays with it and is in touch with the dust that is trapped there.
- The Box Fan Air Filter is a little bit bothering but since it covers the whole risky part of the fan, it can be the right choice if you have toddlers at home.
- The Cardboard Air Purifier is not the one that is combined with the fan but it is about how you really make new stuff. For those who love creating something and doing creative projects, this one is the best choice for you.
- The Air Filter is only about applying certain materials as the filter to the fan or other air system tool. It is easy but quite tricky.
- The Water Air Purifier has a risk to spill but can be really effective to trap dust without having the worries if the dust will fly here and there when you are going to clean it.
