Honeywell air filters keep your home free of allergens, such as pollen.

Honeywell Air Cleaners are designed to purify your home or office air, removing allergens and helping you to breathe easier. The cleaners work by trapping dust, debris and other allergens in the air filters within the system. Although the main air filters should be replaced eventually and cannot be cleaned by hand, you can reduce the frequency of replacing filters by cleaning the pre-filter as necessary.
