ElI5: What is an ozone sprayer? It sounds like pseudoscience.

907 viewsChemistryOther

My friend has been using one and they say it’s an “ozone cleaner” and that it disinfects whatever you spray the water on?
Is this bullshit?
Here is the explanation from the website: Ozone spray is the amazing, easy-to-use cleaner, sanitizer and disinfectant made from just tap water. This patented ozone spray machine takes ordinary water then electrifies it, creating aqueous ozone, an earth-friendly, totally safe and chemical free spray to clean and sanitize countertops, floors, windows, door handles and any hard surfaces in your home or business. The EnozoPRO (Hygeia) aqueous ozone sprayer is battery operated and kills 99.9% of bacteria and common viruses in only 30 seconds

What does it smell like? Ozone has a sharp almost metalic scent. If you have ever been around welding or a electrically powered train you most likely have smelt ozone.

And yes Ozone can be used as a disinfectant and you can use electricity to create it. But I strongly suspect that the device is BS.
