Not all particles in the air are created equal. There are particles of many different sizes, which cause many different effects when present in your home’s air.

Particles like dust, soot, mold spores and bacteria are often .3 microns. That’s the size at which allergens can get deep into your lungs because they aren’t filtered well by your nose and throat. TRANE CleanEffects™ removes tiny particles like these, effectively reducing the potential triggers for asthma and allergy attacks.

Here’s a look at common air contaminants and their sizes, as well the effectiveness levels of common air cleaning products for removing these contaminants:

With TRANE CleanEffects, the majority of irritating particles like dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking grease, even bacteria, will be removed from the filtered air. Our revolutionary technology can trap allergens down to .1 microns in size.

What’s more, the particles in the “particulates” category smaller than .3 microns will adhere to larger particles—meaning that TRANE CleanEffects can get rid of them as well.

What this all means is that TRANE CleanEffects is effective at removing the particles that are most likely to affect your family’s comfort and health.
