Can air purifiers help with pet smells?Updated 7 months ago

Pet odor can be blamed on metabolized secrets, including bacteria and yeast, that specifically occur due to pet skin oil. When a pet's skin gets moist (in skin folds, near the tail, around the ears, or mouth), yeast and bacteria can concentrate and emit a strong odor.  One of the ways that air purifiers can get rid of pet smells is by dealing with gasses. This is achieved through carbon filters, ionization, or ozone. As your pet emits various gasses through bodily functions, they can be filtered out of the circulating air by passing through an activated carbon filter. Ionization can break down the chemical compounds that make up the odors. Ozone can both break down the odors and mask their smell leaving your room smelling like a fresh rain shower.
