How do I clean my bamboo product?

When needed, wipe down with mild soapy water. A mild disinfectant can be used. A mild bleach water solution (1:50) can also be used. Wipe the cleaning solution off after application. Recommended cleaning frequency is once monthly, and at minimum, once per school year.

DO NOT leave standing water or cleaning solutions on the bamboo surface.

DO NOT use harsh chemicals to clean surfaces.


What can I use to clean and sanitize my product?

We recommend using a clean cloth with a disinfectant for non-porous surfaces and wipe the product down. Alternatively, a clean, dampened cloth with hot soapy water works too. Use a clean cloth for drying. Please avoid any electrical components. Spot test with cleaner in a small spot prior to using.

Is one True HEPA Air Purifier unit enough in my classroom?

Contact our Customer Service Superheroes to help you determine the right amount of units for your space. You should aim to have the highest ACH (air changes per hour) as possible. 


Does our air purifier draw a lot of electricity?

No. Our unit draws 65W. Depending on local electricity rates, it could cost an additional $1-2 on your monthly bill. 


What is the lifetime of the filters?

1600 hours. Assuming it is used for 180 school days and it is run for the school day only versus 24 hours a day, the filters would last about 1 year. 


Where should the air purifier be placed?

Our unit pulls air in from two sides, so if you’re placing it in a corner or against a wall, leave 20” of space around each side. 


How do I dispose of my air filter/change my air filter?

We suggest wearing a mask and gloves while handling the filters. When possible, change filters outdoors and wrap in a plastic bag.


Can I vacuum the filters?

Vacuuming the filters can potentially damage them and reduce efficacy, however, you can and should vacuum the filter covers if they become covered in dust.


How to care for your 3D printer filament when it’s not in use.

Humidity can affect 3D printer filament. The majority of filament materials attract water molecules in the air and absorb it, some more than others. If enough moisture is absorbed into the filament, it could affect how well your 3D prints turn out. It can even lead to a failed print. In order to reduce the absorption of water by your filament, it is recommended that you store filament in a sealed container. Common DIY solutions include re-sealable bags and the inclusion of Silica gel to absorb any moisture within the bag or container.
