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

I don’t know how exactly they make it from water (it is possible, I just don’t know if they can do it in such a small package) but ozone (O3) is deadly to life because it is a very powerful oxidizer. And breaks back down into oxygen (O2) when it’s done. It is also highly soluble in water and can be used as a disinfectant in that way.
Ozone has a distinct smell, so I guess you can check for that smell. Lightning strikes make ozone all the time, as well as sparks in the air, so smell for that.
A traditional disinfectant is probably better for most applications, but if you’re worried about dangerous residual chemicals, this is a good choice. I’ve seen it used to disinfect filtered water before (in lieu of boiling)
Hydrogen peroxide is also good if you’re not worried about bleaching what you’re cleaning. It breaks down into water and oxygen much easier than ozone.
