The Truth About Air Fresheners: Why They're Not Cleaning Your Air (And What Actually Works) | SonRock Cleaning Service

We've all been there—you spray an air freshener and instantly smell "clean linen" or "ocean breeze." But here's the shocking truth:

✖ Myth: "Air fresheners purify the air."

✔ Fact: They add chemicals to mask odors without removing pollutants—and some even release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that worsen indoor air quality.

Why This Matters for Your Health & Home

🩹 Band-Aid Solution

Air fresheners simply coat smells with synthetic fragrances while dust, mold spores, and allergens remain trapped in your carpets, furniture, and vents.

☠ Hidden Dangers

Many contain:

• Phthalates (linked to hormone disruption)

• Formaldehyde (a known irritant and carcinogen)

• Benzene (a VOC that can cause headaches and nausea)

• 
  

🤧 Allergy Aggravators

For people with seasonal allergies or asthma, these chemicals compound symptoms instead of relieving them.

The SonRock Difference: Clean Air Starts at the Source

We don’t mask odors—we eliminate them by tackling air quality where it matters most:

✅ Deep-Cleaning HVAC Vents (where 90% of dust circulates)

✅ Replacing or Sanitizing Filters to capture pollen, pet dander, and mold spores

✅ Microfiber Wiping to trap (not spread) allergens on surfaces

Pro Tip: For truly fresh air, open windows for 10 minutes daily after we’ve cleaned—no masking needed!
