Guardian Technologies GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System offers a solution for big smells in a small space. The triple layered air purification system works to remove unwanted odors and maintain a fresh smelling space.
Benefits & Uses
The multi-faceted filter incorporates a charcoal mesh filter that utilizes the natural odor absorption properties of charcoal to remove odors as well as capture larger particles like pet hair and dander, carpet fibers, and dust. The True HEPA filter is graded to capture 99.97% of all airborne particles up to .3 microns, ensuring that all contaminants and pollutants are pulled from the air. Ultra Violet light provides a third weapon in the war on unwanted odors. The UV-C light in the GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System kills bacteria and microbes at the molecular level preventing the development of odors from the smallest of contaminants.
The GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System is effective up to 155 sq ft making it a solid choice for remedying odors that build in small spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, small kitchens, and closets. The GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System works well to fight odors associated with mold and mildew, heavy smoke, and litter box odors. The unit also works well in small nurseries to both keep air fresh and clean, and remove and kill allergens, germs that can impact a child’s health.
The True HEPA filter also offers relief from allergens that impair lung function and irritate asthma and sinus issues. The unit itself is narrow and tall, tucking well into corners. The silver design allows the machine to blend well with modern décor. Unlike similarly-sized machines, the GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System emits relatively low sounds making it a good choice for the bedrooms and nurseries of light sleepers.
Deodorizing Strength and Speed
The GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System ably improves the odor of small spaces. The filtration system works to effectively remove contaminants from the air, leaving smaller rooms odor free. The air filtration process takes time to remediate strong odors, often a day or more—however, the unit also works to maintain air quality and freshness over time. The charcoal filter combined with the UV-C light offer a one two punch of odor absorption and elimination.
As with all air filters and purification systems, combining the use of the purifier with a regular cleaning regimen produces the best results.

Ozone producing units may cause irritation in those with pre-existing lung conditions, allergies, and asthma.
The filter in the GermGuardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System should be replaced every six months.
Some users find the UV-C light to be a distraction at night. Light sleepers may wish to cover the exposed light with a bit of masking tape.
Common Active Ingredients
The pre-filter with its charcoal mesh filter captures larger particles and absorbs household odors.The porous nature of charcoal offers a natural source of deodorization for ambient odors like those associated with mold, tobacco use, and pets.
The True HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles like pet dander, mold spores, dust mites, and other debris. Removal of these pollutants from the surrounding air makes for a fresher smelling area that is also free of allergens and irritants. The True HEPA filter also removes most allergens and irritants.
The UV-C light in the interior activates titanium dioxide decomposing the remaining molecules, microbes and bacteria. The added power of UV-C light helps eliminate household smells related to smoking, cooking, and pet odors.
