How to Prepare Your Space for our Air Scrubbers

Air pollution in Kenya continues to rise, especially in towns and cities with construction, industrial activity, or poor ventilation. If you’re tackling renovations, fire damage, mold, or a dusty environment, renting our professional machines is the right choice. In this guide, you’ll learn how to prepare your space for our air scrubbers and get the best possible results.

Understand the Importance of Proper Preparation

Air scrubbers clean indoor air by removing harmful particles such as dust, allergens, smoke, mold spores, and chemicals. Although the machines work efficiently, you can improve their performance by preparing your space correctly. Proper preparation not only speeds up the cleaning process but also increases safety and extends the equipment’s effectiveness.

Step 1: Identify the Area That Needs Cleaning

Begin by identifying the specific area where you need to use the air scrubber. This could be:

• A room undergoing renovation
• A space recovering from fire or smoke damage
• A home or office with mold issues
• A commercial site with high dust or chemical exposure

Once you pinpoint the affected space, avoid expanding it unnecessarily. Focused cleaning ensures that the air scrubber performs at maximum efficiency.

Step 2: Clear Unnecessary Items

Next, remove clutter and unnecessary objects from the room. This includes:

• Furniture
• Cardboard boxes
• Loose papers
• Clothing or rugs

By decluttering, you improve air circulation and reduce obstacles that may block the machine’s airflow. Items that must stay in the room should be neatly arranged, especially away from the air scrubber’s air intake and output areas.

Step 3: Seal the Space When Necessary

In some cases, sealing the space helps contain airborne pollutants and enhances the air scrubber’s performance. To seal the room effectively:

• Shut all doors and windows tightly
• Cover vents or open doorways with plastic sheets
• Turn off fans or HVAC systems that might spread contaminants

These steps create a controlled environment and make the cleaning more effective and efficient.

Step 4: Ensure Electrical Access

Air scrubbers need power to run, so check that the space has a working outlet. If the room is under construction or lacks a power source, let our team know in advance. We can help you find a solution. Avoid using overloaded extension cords or unsafe power sources to prevent electrical risks.

Step 5: Make Room for the Machine

Create a clear area for the air scrubber by providing:

• At least 1 meter of space on all sides
• A direct path for air to flow freely
• No barriers near the filters

Proper placement allows the machine to clean the air evenly and effectively. Avoid pushing the equipment into corners or hiding it behind furniture.

Step 6: Inform People Who Use the Space

If other people share the space, inform them in advance. Let them know:

• The machine will produce some noise during operation
• They should not move or unplug the equipment
• Proper airflow should be maintained by keeping doors and windows closed

By sharing this information, you reduce confusion and promote cooperation among occupants.

Step 7: Plan Filter Maintenance for Longer Rentals

Although we deliver our machines fully serviced, long-term rentals may require basic maintenance. To keep your air scrubber performing well:

• Contact us if you notice reduced airflow or unusual noise
• Allow us to schedule a quick inspection if needed

Following these steps keeps the machine in excellent working condition throughout your rental period.

Always Prioritize Safety

Safety must come first. You can prevent most accidents by taking a few extra steps:

• Keep the machine away from pets and children
• Do not place liquids or flammable materials near the equipment
• Avoid opening the machine or touching internal components

If any issues arise, reach out to us immediately. Our technicians are ready to assist.

Get the Most from Your Rental

You can maximize the benefits of your air scrubber rental by:

• Running the machine for the full recommended duration
• Keeping all doors and windows shut during operation
• Following our technician’s instructions
• Recording the start and stop times

With the right setup, your space will become cleaner, safer, and more comfortable much faster.
