If you have children, than you know that the sheer abundance of messes created by them is endless. Sometimes I scratch my head in bewilderment, perplexed at how my son can get berries on my daughter’s swing during breakfast or rub diaper cream all over his legs in the short amount of time it takes me to get his clothes ready for school. Over 90% of the cleaning products in our home are safe, natural, and eco-friendly. And while they’re effective at what they’re designed to clean, I often feel like I need several different formulations, depending on what I want to clean or where I want to clean it.
Earlier this year, I was invited to the Natural Products Expo in Southern California. The invite mentioned that Bill Nye the Science Guy would be in attendance, discussing the science behind an innovative new cleaning tool called the ionator HOM. This hand held appliance uses ionizing technology to convert ordinary tap water into a cleaner and sanitizer. This could very well be the only cleaning product you’ll ever need (apart from a heavy-duty cleaner for tough dirt and stains).
The ionator HOM is capable of cleaning mirrors, stainless steel, wood, whiteboards, granite, glass, carpet, clothing, tile and more. What makes the product so distinct (and appealing to this germaphobe of a mom) is it’s ability to kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria including H1N1 influenza A virus, Salmonella, MRSA, and E. coli. How it does this, I’m not entirely sure. But you can check out the Activeion website to watch Bill Nye the Science Guy discuss the technology behind ionator HOM.
In essence, electrically charged ionized water attracts dirt like a magnet to help lift if from the surface, allowing it to be wiped away. In six seconds, nearly any nonporous surface can be clean AND microbe-free. The Activeion technology is irreversible and completely breaks down the walls of bacterial cells, pathogenic viruses, and other germs…hence it’s disinfecting power.
Using the ionator HOM is so easy, it’s hard to believe that it’s actually working. You simply fill the device with tap water (not distilled or purified water). It’s recommended that surfaces be pre-cleaned, particularly if they’re heavily soiled and you want to disinfect. You simply spray at a distance of 3-4 inches for 6 seconds and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Use it on any room and any surface.
The ionator HOM doesn’t use chemicals, which means there are no residues, smells, or harmful ingredients. Its healthy for you, your family, and the environment. While I do find the price to be steep at $179.99, it’s justifiable, considering that you’ll not likely have to invest in other cleaning products. Here is a video I made demonstrating the ionator HOM:

P.S. This is not an ad. I just *really* love this product. 🙂
This is the first time I’ve heard of this product, it’s sooo cool! Thanks.
