    • You may risk an electrical shock by pouring liquid into an Enviracaire air purifier.

      Enviracaire air purifiers were not created to be used with air fresheners. Because of this, pouring any type of air freshener or liquid into an Enviracaire air purifier is dangerous. Damage to the air purifier may occur. You also risk electrical shock.

    Alternatives

    • Spray air freshener into the air or on surfaces -- never into an air purifier.

      Simply run the air purifier as directed in the manual or on the label. If you must use an air freshener, spray it in your home, but never pour it directly into an Enviracaire air purifier.
