MOOKA Clarifies Use of Essential Oils in HEPA Air Purifiers

MOOKA, a manufacturer of air purifiers, has issued a guide detailing the proper use of essential oils with its HEPA air purification systems. The company stresses that the primary function of an air purifier is filtration, with any scent feature being an optional addition. Essential oils should always be applied to a dedicated aroma pad located near the air outlet, and never directly onto the HEPA filter itself.

According to the company's guidelines, applying oils to the filter can clog its fibers, reduce airflow, and negatively impact the purifier's overall performance. MOOKA's design ensures that the oil does not interfere with particle capture. Users have reported that a subtle fragrance can help freshen rooms, mask cooking odors, and create a relaxing ambiance. The intensity of the scent can be controlled by using a small number of drops, typically 2-3, and adjusting them based on fan speed.

MOOKA reminds consumers that essential oils are concentrated substances. It is advised to start with only a few drops and adjust as needed. Pet owners are especially cautioned to verify the safety of specific oils for their animals and to use the minimal amount possible, as some species are more sensitive to scents. Incorrect application or overuse of oils can shorten filter life and lead to unwanted residue buildup.

The company offers various models, such as the MOOKA M200L for larger areas and the MOOKA M01 for quieter spaces like bedrooms. These models feature an optional scent function that requires no water, and the oil never contacts the filtration system. Regular cleaning or replacement of the aroma pad is recommended to prevent buildup.
