Purely Products’ Pet CFL light bulb promises to remove pet dander and other allergens from the air.
The compact fluorescent bulb generates negative ions, which attract tiny, positively charged particles of airborne pollutants. Those particles bond with the negative ions and make them heavier, causing them to fall out of the air eventually.
The company says the bulbs remove a variety of irritants besides dander, such as smoke, mold spores and dust.
The Pet CFL bulbs come in 7, 9 and 15 watts. Those produce roughly the same amount of light as 25-, 40- and 60-watt incandescent bulbs, respectively.
The bulbs can be ordered at www.purelyproducts.com. Prices range from $9.79 for a single 7-watt bulb to $29.99 for a four-pack of 15-watt bulbs. Shipping is extra.
