Oh darn! I just took a closer look at my air filter. It is a Honeywell ion air purifier - free standing unit. Wondering if I should get rid of it? So, I just pulled up this article among others. After reading it, it makes sense as to why my ceiling fans and lampshades get dirty so fast. I have decided to get rid of my air purifier. https://molekule.science/air-purifiers-ionic-ionizers-bad-or-good/

So Terri-
Are you going to replace it with a different type?
We find our house cleaner and standalone units with the charcoal plus HEPA unit - actually reduces the dust in our homes. We change the filters (with mask on) twice as often as recommended just to be sure we don't accumulate mold and bacteria at unsafe levels. My husband cleans the jets in out bathtub every week for the same reason.
