In an air filtering apparatus including a gas-liquid contact member (5) disposed in a housing (2), an electrolytic water supply pipe (17) for dropping electrolytic water to the gas-liquid contact member and an air blowing fan (7) for blowing air to the gas-liquid contact member to which the electrolytic water infiltrates and blowing out the air to a room, a first sheet member (76) having water retentivity for distributing the electrolytic water dropped from the electrolytic water supply pipe to the gas-liquid contact member is disposed above the gas-liquid contact member, and the first sheet member is equipped with recess portions (76D) at which scale accumulates when hardness components in the electrolytic water precipitate as the scale, or cut-out portions (92) through which the electrolytic water is positively discharged when hardness components in the electrolytic water precipitate as scale and accumulates on the first sheet member.
