Air Sponges

An air purifier sponge is a treatment product designed to help improve indoor air quality by reducing airborne bacteria, mould, odours, and other contaminants. Unlike standard filters, it works within the environment rather than just trapping particles.

The lifespan depends on the product type and environment, but most air purifier sponges last between 1 to 3 months. Higher humidity, dust, or heavy usage may reduce effectiveness sooner.

If you notice odours returning, the air feeling less fresh, or the product reaching its expected lifespan, it’s usually time for a replacement. A quick check can confirm whether it’s still effective.
