Good news for allergy sufferers
Those who suffer from allergies know—they can be miserable. The itchy nose, scratchy eyes, coughing and tightness in the chest—even indoors, the symptoms can continue, and in fact, sometimes be worse. Now, there's a revolutionary new way to help remove the airborne particles from your home that can cause allergic reactions. But first, let's take a look at what causes indoor allergies.
Causes of indoor allergies
Many people suffer from seasonal allergies, usually in the spring or fall, and most are caused by pollen or mold spores. But there are other causes as well. In fact, up to 72 trillion allergens find their way into your home every day. In many homes, mold spores can irritate the respiratory passages, the dander from pets can float in the air and cause reactions in sensitive family members, and dust mites can lurk in bedding, upholstery and almost any other soft material, generating irritating waste particles that can become airborne.

There's one thing that collects all these allergens, and it's in every home, no matter how clean. It's dust. The average home generates about 40 pounds of dust per year per 1,500 square feet of space. With that much allergic material around, and with homes built more airtight than ever trapping the irritants indoors, it takes a powerful solution to provide your family with the cleanest air possible.
Introducing TRANE CleanEffects™ — the world's most effective
air filtration system
We've taken clean air to a whole new level. Backed by over 90 years of industry-leading innovation, engineering and manufacturing excellence, we have utilized patented, breakthrough air cleaning technology to remove more airborne allergens from the filtered air in your home than any other air cleaning system. It's called TRANE CleanEffects–and it's only available from Trane.
Not even the most irritating allergens can escape
TRANE CleanEffects is so effective that it traps allergens down to .1 microns, so small that about 2,000,000 particles could fit on the period at the end of this sentence. That's the size at which allergens cause the most irritation because your mouth, nose and throat can’t filter them out. As a result, they get deep in your lungs, causing more irritation. Furthermore, if you install TRANE CleanEffects into a system that features a variable-speed fan motor, you'll be able to kill dust mites by keeping the air at less than 50% relative humidity, which will make your home even more allergen-free.
