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!
