Retail Stores Can Control Dust and Odors With Purifans - The Purifans mount overhead, out-of-the-way and 
constantly draw in dust filled air, and filter out the dust, particles, allergens and odors. This saves on employee time wasted dusting shelves and merchandise repeatedly to present a clean image to customers. Most dusting procedures merely move the dust back into the air, so in a few hours it will have settled back onto all the merchandise.
Many stores have thousands of hard to dust items. When customers are shopping and pick up an item that is covered with a layer of dust, they assume the store doesn't dust, or the merchandise is old. This is a never ending problem for many retail stores, and all the time employees spend dusting is wasting money and costing the store a fortune. The employees should be watching for shoplifters, working the counter or restocking the shelves. Mini-Mart Brochure Retail Store Brochure
These problems are worse in stores where merchandise is un-boxed in the store and the dust and odors of clothes, and the trimmings from fabrics are added to the air. In packaged clothes, wrapped tightly in plastic, the odors can include formaldehyde, dyes and fabric chemical odors. All bad for the store's smell and unhealthy for employees and customers to breathe. These smells and dust can trigger allergies, asthma attacks and increase rates of sickness with key employees.
Purifans reduce odors from food preparation, smoking and sweaty customers. - In Mini-mart stores where doors are opened hundreds of times, even in windy, dusty conditions the store can quickly be filled with dust. In some Mini-marts, food preparation, toasted sandwiches, bathrooms and even hard-working customer odors eating lunch at store tables can create a very bad odor problem. Purifans activated charcoal filters capture and reduce these odors making the store smell cleaner and fresher. There are still a few markets that allow smoking in convenience store lunch areas, and Purifans are even great at reducing smoking odors.
Purifans provide powerful airflow patterns that actually suck dust right off the floor and capture it in multi-stage, disposable filters. This airflow pattern provides ceiling fan energy-saving benefits and can lower heating and cooling costs. The air circulation also eliminates hot and cold spots in the store and balanced the air temperature out in every corner of the room.
Purifans protect HVAC ducts, filters and cooling coils which can be clogged and damaged by higher levels of dust particles. Many retail stores spend a lot more money on heating and cooling costs because HVAC ducts, filters and cooling coils get clogged with dust, and the system has to work harder and waist more energy to keep the store cool in summer months or warm in cold months.
Toasted Sandwich Shops - In sandwich shops that toast sandwiches, peak lunch hour traffic creates an undesirable burnt bread smell throughout the lunch area. Customers complain about the way their clothes smell when they leave the store. For customers this can reduce their desire to return to the store, or the frequency they eat at the store, especially when they are wearing good clothes.
Where Retail Stores Install Purifans - Retail store owners can install Purifans over the display areas to keep dust from settling on the shelves and merchandise. This will control dust and odors and make shopping in the store a better customer experience. Many discount and dollar-type stores have odor issues from the merchandise that is still off-gassing dangerous chemical odors from fabrics and dyes. This problem is created because clothes and products are sealed in waterproof plastic materials immediately after production so they won't be damaged in the trip across the ocean. This traps the chemicals and dye odors in the clothes, and the heat during transport on ship, rail and truck can make these odors and gases intensify. Clothing and department stores install Purifans in prep rooms where clothes and products are removed from boxes and prepared to go on display. The dust and fabric trimmings from clothes and the odors from dyes and chemicals can create a very unhealthy work area. Much of the smell from new clothes can contain formaldehyde and other chemicals with well-known health risks and liability. Purifans in the prep area will also reduce the dust that clogs up the HVAC system and spreads throughout the store through the air conditioning system.
