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

240 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

If you talking about an ozone generator, they little boxes that you can plug in and spews ozone and *sometimes* helps with mold that’s hard to get to.

There are major risks tho. It’s extremely toxic (you have to air it out completely and no life can been in the area – humans or pets) as it’s a powerful oxidant. Also can oxidize/damage electronics so any valuable you might have to move.

It’s very niche cases, but you have to take a lot of precautions as it can damage lung tissue and other tissue if it’s not completely eliminated.

It’s used in other areas like purifying water cause it’s so chemically damaging to cells/pathogens

You shouldn’t use them unless you know what you are doing
