Using ClO2 to Fight Allergens
We put our product to the test against the TOP FIVE Allergy Triggers that Plague 40% of all Americans. This is what we found and how we can help you and your family.
Improve Your Home's IAQ by Cleaning Surfaces and Air with ClO2
It is generally understood that Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important aspect of home maintenance and health. Poor IAQ can cause a range of health problems such as asthma, allergies, and respiratory diseases. One of the most common causes of poor IAQ is allergens, which are substances such as pollen, dust mites, insect dung and pet dander that trigger an immune response in sensitive individuals. Here is a summary of the general consensus on the subject.
Preventing Health Issues with Efficient Cleaning Practices
Controlling allergens in the home is essential for maintaining good IAQ and preventing health problems. Here are some ways to control allergens in the home:
- Keep the home clean - Regular cleaning helps to remove allergens from the home. Dust and vacuum frequently, wash bedding and curtains regularly, and mop floors to reduce the amount of dust and dirt in the home.
- Control humidity - High humidity levels encourage the growth of mold and dust mites, which can trigger allergies. Use a dehumidifier to control humidity levels and air conditioning units to cool the home.
- Control pests - Pests such as rodents and cockroaches can trigger allergies. Use pest control methods to keep these pests out of the home.
- Use air purifiers - Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help to capture allergens such as pollen and pet dander.
- Keep pets clean - If you have pets, bathe them regularly to reduce the amount of pet dander in the home.
- Use hypoallergenic products - Use hypoallergenic cleaning products and personal care products to reduce the amount of irritants in the home.
Therefore, as allergens are a major cause of poor IAQ, which can lead to health problems, then something can and must be done about it if you want to raise a healthy family. Controlling allergens in the home is essential for maintaining good IAQ and preventing health problems. Regular cleaning, controlling humidity and pests, using air purifiers, keeping pets clean, and using hypoallergenic products are all effective ways to control allergens in the home. We know how to help you achieve these and take it a step further.
Microfiber's Best Partner is Chlorine Dioxide
Microfiber cloths are made of incredibly fine synthetic fibers, typically measuring less than one denier in thickness. By comparison, a human hair is roughly 20 deniers thick. The fibers are extruded, creating a grooves that are able to gently scrape soil from hard surfaces and densely packed together, creating a large surface area that can pick up and trap dirt, dust, and other particles with ease.
When you clean with a microfiber cloth, the numerous tiny fibers scrape up and lock in dirt particles. These fibers also create a static charge - complementing the charge of Envirotab, which attracts and holds the dirt securely in place, preventing it from being redistributed on the surface you are cleaning. This unique ability to trap and hold onto dirt and dust is what makes microfiber cloths so effective at removing even the smallest particles from surfaces.
Furthermore, microfiber cloths are extremely absorbent, capable of holding up to eight times their weight in liquid. This allows them to easily wipe up spills and moisture from surfaces without leaving any residue behind. Whereas microfiber requires only 20% of the water and cleaning solution as other materials (like cotton), microfiber reduces the need for harsh chemicals that can potentially harm surfaces or the environment.
The fibers in microfiber cloths also generate a mechanical cleaning action as you rub them against a surface. This friction removes even stubborn stains and grime much more effectively than traditional cleaning cloths.
Overall, the unique construction of microfiber cloths makes them an incredibly effective cleaning tool when paired with chlorine dioxide tablets. They are able to capture microscopic particles - even bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses, absorb significant amounts of liquid, and efficiently remove dirt and stains with minimal effort.
The Build-Up on Horizontal Surfaces
Dust is a pervasive problem that many people struggle with on a daily basis. Even in an environment that appears clean and tidy, it doesn't take long for dust to begin accumulating on horizontal surfaces. In fact, it can build up surprisingly quickly. Within just a few hours, a table or shelf can become coated with a thin layer of dust, and within a day or two, the accumulation can become much more noticeable. The amount of dust that accumulates largely depends on several factors, such as the frequency of cleaning, the amount of foot traffic in the area, and the presence of pets or other sources of allergens that can increase dust levels. Regardless of these variables, it's important to stay on top of dust accumulation to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment.
Putting Envirotab to The Test Against Airborne Allergens
Recently, one of our forward-thinking associates commissioned a nationally recognized lab to put a well-known theory to the test – Are Envirotab tablets and our methods efficacious in denaturing airborne allergens?
Envirotab - Tested Against The Five Most Common Allergens
FIVE of the most common airborne allergens, at levels which would be considered 'High Risk" were added to a phosphate buffered saline [PBS] solution. In other words, there was sufficient allergens from each of the five categories to trigger a severe allergic reaction.
These allergens included:
- Dust Mites
- Cat Dander
- Dog Dander
- Cockroach Droppings
- Ragweed Pollen
The Test Method & The Results...
After establishing that the ClO2 solution did not interfere with the test method, five vials were prepared, each containing 0.5ml of each of the allergens and 0.5ml of the aqueous ClO2 solution.
The results were astounding:
- Dust Mites - 99-100% Eliminated
- Cat Dander - 99-100% Eliminated
- Dog Dander - 99-100% Eliminated
- Cockroach Droppings - 99-100% Eliminated
- Ragweed Pollen - 99-100% Eliminated
Summary...
This test confirms both our suspicions and our scholarly study findings that there is nothing better for the control allergens than a regiment which includes aqueous chlorine dioxide for cleaning, and a low-dose (0.001 ppm) release of gaseous ClO2 into indoor air spaces.
How to Use Envirotab to Reduce Indoor Allergens as You Clean
A single 1 gram tablet from Envirotab was dissolved into 32 ounces of water, yielding a working solution of about 115ppm. This is our most common product and application, creating a cleaner, deodorizer and proven sanitizing solution.
Keep the Allergens at Bay with Envirotab!
A 32oz trigger bottle with Envirotab, microfiber cloths and microfiber mops are all you need to deal with the potential for build-up of allergens on horizontal surfaces. Here's how you get started:
- Add 32oz of warm water to your Envirotab Secondary Trigger Sprayer bottle.
- To this water, add (1) 1g Envirotab Tablet, and secure the sprayer to the top of the bottle
- Let this sit for 1-2 minutes until the tablet is dissolved and the gas is equalized throughout the water.
- Use as directed to clean ever surfaces in your home (except glass) and you will both clean to the microscopic level and neutralize allergens with every cleaning.
- Keep this spray bottle out of the sun when not in use.
