SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.,
April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
CVS/pharmacy is now carrying air purifiers, offering allergy
sufferers non-medicated options to help combat allergens such as
pollen, dust, pet dander as well as other airborne pollutants,
including common household odors. The new Febreze™ Tabletop Air
Purifier can be found in the allergy aisle at select
CVS/pharmacy stores nationwide, offering families and pet owners a
household solution that cleans the air and freshens with Febreze
linen & sky™ scent at the same time.
"Although outdoor allergens are often a focus this time of year,
it's equally important to reduce airborne allergens inside the home
where many of these particles go unnoticed," says Dr. Ted Myatt, ScD, senior scientist with
Environmental Health & Engineering and the University of Rhode Island. "With more than 2,400
CVS/pharmacy stores now stocking Febreze™ Air Purifiers, more
people will be able to enjoy the season by getting cleaner, fresher
indoor air."
Dust, pet dander, pollen, and other indoor air pollutants often
get stirred up with kids and pets running around the house or with
other activities such as vacuuming or fluffing pillows, but
Febreze™ Air Purifiers help this problem by cleaning indoor air
through powerful dual-action HEPA-Type filtration. Febreze™
Air Purifiers remove up to 99 percent of airborne
particles1, while trapping household odors and then
adding a fresh Febreze™ scent to the filtered air. The tabletop
model comes complete with a Febreze linen & sky™ scent
cartridge that lasts up to 30 days and a HEPA-Type filter that
lasts up to 4 months. Replacement Febreze™ HEPA-Type filters are
available, as well as replacement scent cartridges, which also come
in the Febreze™ spring & renewal™ scent.
Febreze™ Tabletop Air Purifiers (FHT170W), replacement Febreze™
scent cartridges, and replacement Febreze™ HEPA-Type filters are
now available at select CVS/pharmacy stores nationwide. To
