Never clean your home with chemicals again!

I was browsing the internet one day and stumbled upon an article about a new product that cleans with water. At first, I thought it was steam (I was wrong.), but what made me take a good look was the size of the product. It looked like a standard cleaning bottle. It didn't look like some heavy appliance that I would have to lug around. I had to know more about it, how it worked, and why.
I started reading about the Ionator HOM. The first thing I wanted to know what how it worked. It sounded too good to be true that plain old tap water, without a lot of heat, was going to effectively clean and sanitize.

What I read made some sense, but I kept looking :) I noticed Bill Nye's face down at the bottom of the page and clicked :)

So before I go any further, I would like you to watch this entertaining and informative video by one of my childhood heroes (I *loved* him!), Bill Nye :)



After seeing this video, I not only better understood the technology, but I really, really had to try it. The thought of not having to use anything other than perfectly clean water to clean my house became so appealing.

If you would like a little more information on the cleaning and sanitizing abilities of the Ionator, please check out these other great links.

EPA Certified Lab Results

When used as directed, the Activeion Pro removes more than 99.9 percent of the bacteria listed below from non-poroushard surfaces. This includes 2009 H1N1! (PDF Press release on that!)

How Does It Work?

A water cell applies a slight electrical charge to the tap water. The charged water passes through an ion exchange membrane, creating an oxygen-rich mixture of positive and negative nano-bubbles. The activated water now attracts dirt like a magnet and lifts it from the surface, enabling it to be easily wiped away.

Let's talk about the Ionator HOM in action :)

The first thing I did when it arrived was charge it up and then test it out! I couldn't wait. Yes, it charges! No batteries to replace, simply plug and go. I have had this for about a month and have only charged it twice.

The first thing I used this on was my counters. I sprayed it on like I would have with any cleaner. I liked how it worked. It didn't seem like it require any more effort than usual and I was pleased with the result. My counter tops are dark though, so I glanced around for a challenge. Something I could really see the results with.

I soon spotted my filthy glass patio door. My husband comes home through these doors and my children know this. They spend much of their time going to the door, touching it, kissing it, licking it, you name it! This poor door was covered in greasy finger prints, cracker kisses and who knows what else.

I grabbed my towel and sprayed the door down as usual. I wiped and swirled and then did the same to the outside of the door. This is what impressed me and got me hooked on the Ionator HOM. I am so pleased with it.

What really impressed me was not just that it worked, but that it didn't require any extra exertion. Also, for glass and like things, it didn't leave streaks, and that's without any harsh chemicals to prevent them :)

I also did my stove top. I purposely left it overnight to let the food left over to try on. Sorry about the light reflections. I tried :)

I have found the Ionator HOM to be very effective and easy to use. As with any cleaner, if there is something stubborn, I spray, let it sit and then give it a little extra scrub. Even if it did require a little extra elbow grease, I would consider this a great cleaning product.

I have three children and they are around me at all times. I can safely clean around them with the Ionator HOM. I've been using homemade cleaners for some time, but they still aren't things that I want to spray directly around my children. I don't have to worry about that at all with this.

Here is a cute little bonus :)

This is on the Activeion website, but it is so adorable. I wanted to share it here too :) I use to have a chinchilla. They are so sweet!

"So, where did our life-changing technology come from? One sensitive little chinchilla, named Chili.

Hi Chili!

When the inventor of our technology bought Chili as a pet for his family, he learned quickly — many home cleaning products are deadly to the little fellows. So, he set out to invent a way to clean the chinchilla's cage — without harmful chemicals. Chili's owner looked at the big, technologically advanced cleaners and sanitizers often used in food-processing plants and costing thousands of dollars. He found a way to miniaturize the technology to fit into a portable, and affordable, handheld appliance. And he ended up with a revolutionary product for the good of all.

Enter Activeion Cleaning Solutions, and Activeion™ Pro, ionator EXP™ and ionator HOM™.

Made in the U.S.A.

Today, our products are built right in Minnesota, and are used every day around the world to guard students in schools, patients in hospitals, guests in restaurants from harmful bacteria. And now we can all clean most homes, schools, and businesses with simple ionized water. Just think: One day soon we will wonder why we ever used chemicals to clean. Thanks to Activeion. And that sweet little chinchilla."
