Why Odors Persist Even After Cleaning
Cleaning removes visible dirt but often leaves odor-causing molecules in fabrics, walls, and air. Fragrances and air fresheners mask these molecules temporarily — they don't remove them. Natural odor removal means actually extracting or neutralizing the source.
