3-in-1 Multipurpose Cleaner: Sanitize, deodorize, and clean any non-porous surface in as little as 2 minutes with basic tap water, reducing germs without harmful chemicals
Superior Eco-Friendly Sanitizing: All natural and safe to use around children and pets, perfect for sanitizing surfaces in your home, office, or while traveling
Portable & Practical: Conveniently fits on your desk, nightstand, dresser, coffee table, or in the car, and easily stores in your purse, backpack, gym bag, diaper bag, or travel suitcase
Less Waste: Aqueous ozone is generated from tap water, providing a powerful, environmentally friendly clean every time, eliminating the need for messy wipes and sprays, and can be refilled and reused endlessly
I would love to be proven wrong, but I don’t think this thing is actually producing enough ozone or hydrogen peroxide to have any meaningful sanitizing action. At least the ones that turned salt water into bleach actually did what they said.
@Alereon Ozone is really reactive. Let’s be honest, pure o2 is pretty reactive and ozone is o2 that likes to share. It doesn’t require a lot to kill off a ton of microbes. Like 4ish parts-per-million of ozone is good. Less, probably, if you follow directions and let the ozone-water dry on the surface giving it plenty of time to act.
The unit spends around 4 minutes with a solid stream of bubbles from the electrode foil. Its only viable for a short window (15min I think) before too much of it reverts to o2 and h2o.
I use it on things that can’t tolerate bleach, like stone counter tops.
@Alereon Are the other things you’re referring to the ones where it turns salt-and-vinegar water into hypochlorous acid, or was there also a variant that turns salt water into bleach?
(I really like the hypochlorous acid guy.)
@Alereon@jamesmcp@mwarren That article by Derek Lowe was a nice read, from two decades ago. I’m sure that the “electric gizmos” to produce ozone have even more dust on them now. Maybe we should send them the link for todays Meh?
Yes, this chemical-free disinfectant spray miracle is yours for the low low price of not $49.95, not $29,95, but just FOURTEEN-NINETY FIVE! But wait, there’s more! Order now, and for just five dollars more, we’ll send you TWO of them! How’s that for a deal! Act fast, and remember, every order arrives in a box containing genuine Texas air at absolutely no extra charge!

@mcemanuel ozone is kind of like disinfecting with lightning.
Pass electricity through H20 and you “un-burn” the water. (Burning = oxidizing, thus reverse ozidation is un-burning) One electrode will produce H2 and the other 02. Apply some more lightning to the 02 and you get some 03. This oxygen is extra un-burnt and really, really, really wants oxidize (burn) something.
When the 03 comes in contact with a microbe measured in microns, it gets hit with a jolt of micron-scale lightning and burns (oxidizes).
To be honest its probably closer to tazering it to death, requiring multiple O3s to get the job done.
Think of water as ash.
It’s already been burned as far as it can go.
When you run electricity through it, you’re not “un-burning” it in a tidy chemistry-class way — you’re tearing it apart with energy. You rip the hydrogen away from the oxygen. Now you’ve got loose oxygen that’s been yanked into a high-energy, irritated mood.
Hit that oxygen with more energy and some of it snaps into ozone (O₃) — oxygen that’s angry, unstable, and looking for something to calm itself down by reacting with it.
microbes are tiny. Really tiny. So when ozone bumps into one, it’s like a spark jumping a microscopic gap. Not literal lightning — but the effect is the same: membranes get punched, proteins get wrecked, the thing can’t function anymore.
Does it fry everything instantly? -No.
Is it more like a series of tiny jolts than a gentle soap bath? -Yeah — that’s actually a useful way to picture it.
I have one of these. The trigger broke. I would guess it lasted a good 6 months. It still makes ozone fine so I just poor it into a dollar store spray bottle. It’s a minor inconvenience, but I do wonder why they used such an odd and flimsy spray head.

Use the “Insert Hyperlink” option in the chat box… immediately LEFT of the Blockquote icon. Which is to the left of the Code Sample icon; to the immediate left of the Image icon.
@JohnQ118 Thank you… I don’t have any of those things, the only thing in the chat box are the word “cancel” in the top left and “say it” in the top right. I’m on a mobile phone, though so I will look to see if anything’s different on the computer.
NOTE: The unit requires ‘electrically conductive water’ -minerals in tap water- to generate ozone — distilled water won’t work. Many users report it ‘feels like’ it cleans and deodorizes. Ohhh.
Ozone in the air at significant concentration is unsafe to breathe — but in aqueous form inside the spray bottle, the risks are much lower when used as directed. BUT DO NOT DRINK IT for an internal “like a cleaning” for COVID.
ChatGPT says: “Not a scam. But with practical limitations for everyday light household cleaning but not for disinfecting highly contaminated environments.” And ChatGPT says the handle breaks off.
I bought one of these on Meh in October 2024, which I use to disinfect stuff around the kitchen (e.g. countertops, scale, faucet handles) especially after handling raw meat. As a couple of folks mentioned, the spray trigger (actually the pump mechanism) broke early on, so now I just pour the stuff into a small spray bottle.
I wear a custom snore guard at night that tends to get smelly despite my best efforts, so I have to take it to the dentist occasionally to have them clean it. I thought ozonated water might be a good way to disinfect/deodorize it. After soaking it for a couple of minutes, it came out smelling (and tasting?) like burning electronics. Not recommended for expensive dental appliances. But that did dispel my skepticism whether the water was ozonated enough to do anything. In for 2 more.
@dgrant31 Ozone will break down plastics and such. I had a CPAP that was recalled because of plastic deterioration putting plastic dust into your lungs. They blamed it on the use of those little ozone CPAP cleaners. I never had an issue with mine but it wasn’t that old when they recalled it.
@annaayahoo asks: “But would it kill rat lungworm larvae?”
Most cerainly will! For that particular application, one uses the base of the unit, wielding it in such a fashion to appy rapid, quick strikes to the creatures with sufficient kinetic force to render them unconscious. Then, gently use the trigger mechanism to disperse water in sufficient quantities to drown them. See? Easy Peasey!
This thing makes ozone?! Growing up in the 80s, I heard we were all doomed to die due to our hairspray making a hole in the ozone. Maybe we could send up Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi and the rest of the crew with a bunch of these to spray that nasty hole so we can survive certain Armageddon.
I have attended a CEU (continuing education) on the use of ozonated water and its effective use in hospitals and medical facilities to kill bacteria, microorganisms, and viruses. This isn’t a scam. I don’t think it is marketed well enough to be understood by the general public, so they had to sell them off.
@futureprof I mean, marketing it with “chemical free” when literally everything is chemicals isn’t a great start for me to trust a word they’re saying.
Ozonated water might be a great thing, but the fear mongering makes me think this device can’t actually do that.
@ArmchairGamer That doesn’t look very passive to me. Also, how are those buildings still standing? And why was I not invited to the watch party? There wasn’t a watch party? How can that be?
I had never heard of “aqueous ozone” before. Sounds interesting. I had to google the chemical difference between that and hydrogen peroxide. Just out of insane curiosity, just hypothetically, what would happen if one were to put diluted hydrogen peroxide in one of these things?

@Alereon it does but you have to let the water sit for a few minutes to disinfect.

@Alereon, @jamesmcp is right. When it comes to ozone, a little dab will do. Derek Lowe’s “Things I Won’t Work With: Ozinides” article is a fun intro.

@jamesmcp I still prefer bleach
@jamesmcp Does the microbe die a truly horrible death?

@goldnectar when you decant the O3-water into the spray bottle you likely destroy all of the O3 water from the pour itself.
Tell me you don’t know what chemicals are without telling me you don’t know what chemicals are.
@actionjbone Just as long as it doesn’t contain – *shudder* – molecules, like dihydrogen monoxide!
@actionjbone @Wireball_ based
that stuff is terrifying
have too little of it? DEATH
have too much of it? DEATH & (possibly) DESTRUCTION
dihydrogen monoxide is no joke

I went to a church school.
We weren’t allowed to talk about the o-zone, but apparently it was mostly somewhere below the belt.
No chemicals? How dare you sir?
I’ll have you know I am half-chemicals !
I know it was a strange year but I’m certain 2020 still had a December 31st.
