When the view from your HDB window turns grey, refreshing the weather app can become an unofficial national pastime. From masks and replacement filters to eye-care essentials, these 10 finds could make your haze-season routine a little more manageable, provided you choose the right products and use them properly.
1. 3M Aura 9211+ N95 Masks, 10 Pieces
This 10-piece box contains flat-fold respirators with a three-panel design, an adjustable nose clip and headbands. N95 means the mask filters at least 95% of airborne particles when it fits properly. The folding shape makes spare masks easier to store, while the nose clip helps you adjust the fit. A proper seal matters: MOH says N95 masks must fit without leaks so inhaled air passes through the filter rather than gaps around your face.

2. mixshop KF94 Kids Masks
Individual packaging makes these children’s masks handy for keeping spares in a school bag. The seller labels them KF94 and claims BFE above 99%, meaning bacterial filtration efficiency. KF94 is a Korean standard requiring at least 94% particle filtration under test conditions; “KN94” is not an official rating. Check certification and fit, because BFE alone does not establish protection against haze. Note that the listing has a minimum purchase of 4.

3. Optrex Multi Care Eye Wash, 100ml
Optrex’s 100ml Multi Care Eye Wash is designed to cleanse, soothe and refresh irritated or uncomfortable eyes. It is worth considering if you prefer an eyewash for occasional eye-care needs at home. Follow the instructions on the actual pack, and check with a pharmacist if you are unsure whether an eyewash suits your symptoms.

4. EYE MO Moist Eye Drops
If staying indoors means longer hours in air-conditioning or looking at screens, EYE MO Moist is formulated to moisturise dry, tired eyes. It contains hypromellose, a lubricant that acts as artificial tears. Select the Moist option carefully because the supplied listing also carries Regular eye drops, which are a different formulation.

5. Levoit Core Mini Replacement Filter
For existing Core Mini owners, checking whether the filter needs replacing is a practical place to start. This cylindrical replacement uses three-stage filtration, combining a pre-filter for larger debris, a main particle filter and activated carbon, a material used to capture odours and gases. Check compatibility with your machine before ordering, and remove the filter’s plastic wrapping before installation.

6. Buticoue 15-in-1 Air Quality Monitor
This monitor puts multiple readings on one colour display, including figures labelled PM2.5, temperature and humidity. PM2.5 refers to very fine airborne particles relevant to haze. It may appeal to people who want to track changes in a room’s air quality, but the seller’s “15-in-1” description does not establish measurement accuracy. Continue using NEA readings and official advisories when planning outdoor activities.

7. Silicone Window & Door Gap Sealer Strip, 5m
This self-adhesive silicone strip is intended for gaps around windows and door bottoms. The listing shows different widths, so measure your gap before choosing rather than ordering whichever looks most substantial. Addressing unwanted gaps can complement keeping doors and windows closed when outdoor air quality worsens, although the strip does not provide a verified haze-proof seal.

8. NeilMed Sinus Rinse Kit
The starter kit shown includes a squeeze bottle and 10 premixed sachets for preparing saline, a salt-water rinsing solution. NeilMed lists nasal irritation from dust and smoke among its intended uses. Preparation matters: use the sachets with distilled water or water that has been boiled and cooled according to the instructions, and clean the device after use.

9. Strepsils Antiseptic Lozenges
The listing offers several variants, including Original in a 24-lozenge box. Strepsils’ core range contains antiseptic ingredients and is intended for sore-throat relief. These are medicated lozenges, so follow the chosen pack’s age restrictions and dosage instructions. Their role is symptom relief; they do not protect you from breathing in haze particles. Note that the listing requires a minimum purchase of 4.

The Original wipes are alcohol-free and intended for cleaning skin and suitable surfaces, making them handy for everyday clean-ups after an outing. The pocket-sized packs also make it easy to keep one in your bag, at your desk and near the door.
