How do I clean the ionizer's filter or metal bars? Does it need cleaning (not the hepa filter, I mean ionizer part, ) and what if I use both (ionizer and air) at the same time for 24/7 ?

Hey there! Thank you for choosing Holmes. We will be more than happy to answer your question. The ionizer can be cleaned by a damp cloth. You might notice fine black dust if you run the ionizer for a long time.
