Do I leave this on, or do I need to neutralize it?

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.

I think you just slowly pass it over the thing you are trying to disinfect. You don't want to hold it over fabrics or synthetics too long because it might cause them to fade or break down over time, just like strong sunlight would.

I use my fingers - if my face can handle it my hands certainly can. I just make sure I wash my hands before and after - also I don't waste product by having it soak into a brush, cotton ball, gauze, etc. Also Ihave not had to use a neutralizer but do have some baking soda and water available if I ever felt I needed to use it. I just splash cool water after removing.

you leave it on... as long as the pool cover is not on and the water is exposed you need it on so it doesnt get algae

I have read that the paper it to be left on. I am not certain as to why, but I've left it on. Good luck, a bed bug scare is horrible. We have also edged our entire apartment with diatomacious earth and put it in the traps (the traps to not kill the bugs, they simply trap them). I hope all goes well for you. It is a battle!

Absolutely! But like the others said, don't leave it on too high while out and about. I often leave it on for 24-48hrs on low if I am making bone broth or really deep flavoured sauces. Never had an issue at all!

This may be normal. Instructions say to clean out after use. Ours collects a bit of residue I attribute to normal operation.

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

I leave mine on all the time (unless it is covering stitches & then I take it out). I just relax the tension when I am done and then tighten it up when I am ready to work again. And these are what I use 90% of the time.

No, it is too dangerous to leave on constantly. You must use it responsibly and follow the directions.

You can leave it on. It is extremely easy to put it in. It is less than 1 hour for installation.

The bottle states to leave it on for 15min but for a good deep condition I would use with heat. I hope this helps.

Hi there! It is not meant to be a leave-in, HOWEVER plenty of people do use it that way, the key is if you are not going to wash it out you need to use very little of it.

Yes. You can leave it on for a shorter time or from what I have read you can dilute it with water which would cut the strength. It can be a pretty harsh chemical so I think the water might be a better route but look into it more. There are some YouTube videos on it too.

I don't leave it on all of the time, but I have left it on overnight. I don't think it would hurt to leave it on. I just got worried that someone might accidentally pick up the remote and hit one of the buttons without realizing it was not a television remote.l

I prefer a fan brush. The most important things are to not "rub" it into your skin and to NOT GET IT IN YOUR EYES. Also, I'm just checking here, you know that you should only leave it on for minutes (2 to 5 depending on your skin) then you have to remove it. Soap can neutralize it. Personally I like to use milk, followed by soap. Keep in mind that this stuff stings, it's supposed to sting. It's acid chewing through unwanted top layers of skin to expose prettier skin underneath. It's going to burn even more as you neutralize it. Get ready with your neutralizing plan before you apply. You can hurt yourself with this stuff if you don't handle it carefully. Please be careful.
