Can I use it to clean mildew in my home AC vents and ducts? Does this product require rinse? My concern is the chemical left behind and we breath in

We sprayed it in our a/c unit over a week ago. We have noticed a reduction in our allergy symptoms. Also,I would say yes since I read that it is put in foggers to clean the air & surfaces in hospitals.

yes you can and no you don't have to wipe it. It is used in hospitals for mold and mildew.

Both of my children have used this product with no stains on clothing. They would spray it on, let it dry a couple of minutes, then get dressed. Only "issue" is you'll want to use it in a well-ventilated room (run the fan in the bathroom or be near an open window) and/or hold your breath and then leave the area. When the vapor gets up your nose, it makes you cough a little. The product works very, very, very well though, so that minor inconvenience is worth it.

Only use the three sanitizers I have in the winter months. Filters in the AC seem be adequate keeping mold spores and pollen at low levels. Cold and flu seasons are usually over so there is no need to keep them running.

I spray it on glass, tile, everywhere in the shower and tub area. This product is supposed to be a spray it, leave it and rinse kind of thing. If used once a week it will prevent build up, mold. etc. It really works great this way but you have to clean your shower/bath first.

I have used this product to remove various odors and believe it WILL WORK on mold/mildew smells. If it doesn't work then use a little lysol (a very small amount) in your washer water, but you will probably have to wash twice because the lysol has such a strong smell. Another alternative would be to bleach the items - if they are color fast - , that will get rid of the smell.

I have used air oasis for almost a year now. It is effective in cleaning the air of mold, virus and bacteria. It does not remove surface mold. The source of contamination must be addressed with chemical cleansers such as quaternary solution.

It will not clean mildew. Great for protecting your hot tub cover. It is recommended for hot tub covers. Keeps them for drying out & fading.

Good to rinse the ozone plate with water every so often, And let dry completely or use hair dryer to remove ALL water before installing, be careful they are delicate. Replace plate every year or so, Or if ozone smell depreciates. Keep clean of dust, It will clog and burn out your fan motor. Too much ozone is not healthy for you so please use as directed. And never leave pets in the home while it is on full air cleaning mode.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

Hmm. Well, I am not sure but my experience w microbiology would lead me to think not. Mildew and molds, I believe, would need to be destroyed by something like bleach (they're like plants w roots) and then, maybe, you could treat with this product

This machine is awesome, the output is incredible and unlike some other reviews, no issues with our UV light after multiple uses. The UV light, and "Ionizing" effect kills mold/mildew spores and so on, and so running the unit next to/near your AC air return ( while running) should help to keep mold/mildew at bay, however you will need to be out of the house when running the unit due to the high ionizing output. We typically use this machine in a closed room, car, etc. run on hold for a couple hours, then requires a significant amount of "airing out" before re-entering the room. Because your AC air return would be pulling lots of air through ( not just the air from the ionizer), you would probably want to run it longer so that it can effectively get to your entire system. Make sure you and all pets are out of the house... Place the dial on hold ( turn dial counter clockwise to hold position), turn on your AC/ or "FAN" for your AC system, and let it run for a few hours ( depending on the size of your home), then, hold your breath and run in and turn it off, and open your windows to let the house air out. After a cpl hours you should be able to safely re-enter the home, and after a couple days the fresh smell of the ionizer should fade, leaving a neutral "clean" smell throughout your house. Hope this helps... we use it all the time now and love it!

I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink. The product has a mild minty, maybe a little medicinal, smell that isn't overwhelming and I can't really smell it when not in the area of the dish. I find it stops working when it has evaporated. It works okay, but I don't think it would work in a larger open area, like a whole room. And it doesn't "eliminate" any odor that is continual. I didn't find it was as successful as some of the reviews stated. I've used the Febreeze Set and Refresh little containers with similar results. Nothing I've found totally gets rid of continual odors. I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink.

Yes, I too would like to use it to disenfect the kid's toys. I just cant use vinegar and bleach on everything, and Lysol/Pine Sol really do smell (Anything else merely cleans, not disenfects... ie. gets rid of the germs as well as dirt). Please reply if you find out how hot the steam is coming out of the Wagner. Allergy Buyers Club praises the Ladybug steamer for disenfecting (and lists operating temperature), But at over $1000 I cant really justify it.

This is the best mildew and mold cleaner I have used. I have used it on fabric and wood. It was recommended to me by an institutional cleaning company.

I have not had to clean the unit - it comes with a "demineralization" cartridge that is built into the reservoir lid. If it will not be used for a period of several days, empty and let the reservoir dry to prevent mildew.

it wilyl clean the mold and mildew. It probably won't clean the soap scum. Unlikely to cause any harm.

We haven't had a problem with it smelling like mildew. We let it air dry between uses.
