Indoor air can contain higher levels of some pollutants than outdoor air — the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes they are often 2 to 5 times higher. A Dr.Clean air purifier continuously draws in room air and removes fine dust (PM2.5), pollen and other allergens, pet hair and dander, smoke and cooking odours, formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as airborne bacteria, mould spores and viruses.

It is ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms, apartments with open kitchens, classrooms, offices and meeting rooms — anywhere people spend long hours indoors.

A quiet Nidec fan pulls air through up to seven cleaning stages, depending on the model:

1. Pre-filter – a washable mesh that stops hair, large dust and lint. 2. Cold-catalyst filter – breaks down formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene and TVOCs at room temperature. 3. Formaldehyde / activated-carbon filter – a honeycomb that absorbs odours, smoke and gases. 4. Antibacterial filter – inhibits bacteria trapped in the air stream. 5. HEPA filter – captures up to 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. 6. UV-A lamp & photocatalyst – activates the nano-TiO₂ layer to oxidise pollutants and inactivate microbes. 7. Negative ion generator – charges remaining fine particles so they clump and are removed from the air.

A built-in PM2.5 sensor measures air quality in real time and, in Auto mode, adjusts the fan speed for you.

No. Dr.Clean purifiers use Japanese Nidec motors and optimised fan blades for strong, smooth airflow with very little noise. In sleep mode the noise level starts from about 23 dB on the DAP58 and is 29.4 dB or lower on the DAP68 and DAP88C — comparable to a whisper — and the display lights dim so they will not disturb your sleep.

Dr.Clean uses several complementary barriers. The HEPA filter physically captures airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, including many of the droplets and dust particles that carry bacteria and viruses. The antibacterial filter inhibits microbes in the air stream, and in photocatalytic models the UV-A-activated TiO₂ produces reactive oxygen species that damage the cell walls of bacteria and the outer structures of viruses — an effect widely documented in scientific studies. The negative ion generator further reduces fine airborne particles.

An air purifier is a valuable addition to a healthy home, but it is not a medical device: please continue to ventilate rooms and follow the hygiene advice of your health authorities.

Yes. The DAP58 weighs just 6.5 kg and the DAP68 and DAP88C 8.5 kg, with a slim 195 mm depth, so you can easily move them between bedroom, living room and kitchen. The larger DAP98 sits on four castor wheels and simply rolls from room to room. For best results, leave about 30 cm of free space around the air inlets and outlet.

Choose by room size: DAP38 or DAP58 for bedrooms of 15–25 m², DAP68 for rooms up to 40 m², DAP48 for rooms of 28–48 m², DAP88C for living rooms and open-plan spaces up to 50 m², and DAP98 for classrooms, offices and meeting rooms up to 80 m². If formaldehyde from new furniture or renovation is your main concern, the photocatalytic DAP88C or DAP48 is our recommendation.

The aluminium pre-filter is washable and reusable. HEPA, carbon and catalyst filters typically last 6–12 months depending on air quality and daily use. The photocatalytic layer is not consumed by the reaction and works for as long as its UV-A lamps are on. Genuine Dr.Clean replacement filters are available from your dealer or through our customer support team.

Dr.Clean purifiers are designed not to generate ozone. The UV lamps work at 365 nm (UV-A), well above the <242 nm wavelength needed to split oxygen into ozone, and the negative ion generator is engineered for safe household use.

No. Power consumption ranges from 55 W (DAP88C) to 80 W (DAP68) at maximum speed, and much less at lower speeds. The DAP88C uses around 1 kWh across ten nights of use — a few cents per night.
