What are Odors?

What are odors?

Odors are smells in the air caused by tiny particles or gases released from things like food, pets, smoke, mold, or even your trash can. These particles float around and can stick to furniture, walls, and fabrics — making your space feel less fresh. When we talk about air quality, odors are a sign that the air might be carrying unwanted or unhealthy substances.

Odors and Air Quality

Unpleasant odors are more than just annoying — they’re often a sign of poor indoor air quality. Whether it’s cooking smells, pet odors, bathroom smells, smoke, or a musty scent from mold or mildew, these airborne particles can settle into soft surfaces and linger for days.
Modern homes are built to be airtight, which helps with energy efficiency but traps odors and gives them nowhere to go. Without the right solution, you may find yourself masking smells with sprays — not fixing the root cause.

Common Odor Sources

How SONA Helps Remove Odors

SONA air purifiers don’t just cover up smells — they go after the odor-causing particles in the air.
Using active ionization technology, SONA helps:.

  • Break down odor molecules at the source
  • Tackle persistent smells from cooking, pets, trash, smoke, and bathrooms
  • Circulate fresh, clean air throughout your space
  • Run quietly with low energy use — no filters to replace or odors trapped in filters

The result? A space that smells like… nothing at all. Just clean air.

Say Goodbye to “Covering Up” Smells

Unlike candles, sprays, or plug-ins that just mask odors, SONA’s ionization approach actually reduces the concentration of odor-causing particles in the air. That means less buildup in fabrics, furniture, and your lungs.
