What exactly does a cabin air filter do? Why is it an important part of the car’s ventilation system?
These filters clean outside air as it travels into the car and through the cabin fan. They are antimicrobial to protect drivers from allergens and they’re either white poly, carbon-impregnated, paper or cellulose to remove any odours from the air. In short, cabin air filters make the air inside your car more breathable.
A good cabin air filter will help to improve the air quality in your car, and it can also help to reduce the amount of dust and pollen that gets into the cabin. This filter is designed to make vehicles safe havens for allergy sufferers.
WIX’s Cabin air filters are exclusively enhanced with Microban® antimicrobial product protection. It is also equipped with activated carbon, which aids in eliminating unpleasant odors.

The filters in the new line are protected from the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew to help keep negative elements from entering a vehicle’s interior, ensuring a cleaner and healthier cabin environment.
