I have tried everything including angry orange. Wondering if a clean air machine would work

What kind of odor are you talking about? Litter box? Urine outside of the litterbox? General cat odor? An air purifier won't help if you don't pinpoint the exact source of the odor and take steps to minimize it. Do you own a cat?

if its litter box odor you just clean the box more often is all use a smaller lidded trash can to hold the poop/pee you scoop out add a few lumps of plain charcoal(not the fuel soaked type)then empty the poop can every other day or so no smell the lumps of coal absorb the smell easy peasy

One other thing that really helps cat box odor is to line the box with a puppy pad. It prevents urine from caking in the corners and also keeps the plastic on the box from getting stinky.
Thinking maybe I’ll do this but how does this work with scooping? Seems like the pad would get all bunched up as soon as you scooped the box?

It scoops just fine. The pad stays at the bottom. Sometimes it gets scratched but they are thick and don’t tear apart. I Use OUT extra large.

Thank you everyone for your help. Yes it is the litter box
There's a TCS article on how to deal with litter box odors:


Where do you keep the litter box and what brand of litter do you use? Liter box odors are more noticeable in a poorly ventilated room and with some types of litters.

How often do you clean the box? Daily scooping is recommended.

What do you feed the cat? Cats who eat dry food have super stinky poop. The odor is less for most cats eating a canned food diet. Many raw fed cats have nearly odorless poop.

It’s actually the urine that is so bad
