ionator HOM: Cleaning Can Suck Less
Posted on November 8, 2010 by Danielle Liss in Featured, Green
We need to start our relationship with full disclosure: I hate cleaning. I don’t like making my house sparkle. I don’t care if there are dried globs of questionable stuff on my counters. For a long time, there was a game of chicken between me and the dirt. Since the dirt was winning, my husband insisted that we get a cleaning service. Oh, boohoo, right? Still unacceptable. I am supposed to be superwoman. I am supposed to be able to do it all. And I have to do it without toxic cleaners. Yep, I insist on green cleaning on the rare occasions that I do clean. I make my own cleaning potions and they rock. Then, one of my green blogger girlfriends got an ionator HOM and raved about it. I wanted one. She told me that she put water into this spray bottle device and it cleaned “with science.” Being a skeptic, I said, sure it does. She directed me to the Bill Nye video for more information. (Go to the bottom of the page and click on the man with the bow tie.) As a girl of a certain age, I’m not going to question Bill Nye. He’s the Science Guy.
This handsome devil is is extremely easy to set up and use. Charge it. Fill the container with tap water. Spray. YOU’RE CLEANING (And it lights up. If you have cats, there is an added layer of fun with the lights).
As I mentioned above, I don’t like to clean. Actually, let me be more specific. I tolerate cleaning the kitchen. I HATE cleaning the bathroom shower. Because we use a green cleaning service, that means NO chemicals, so my hatred of cleaning for the two years prior to their entering the house has left hard water stains on the glass shower walls of the master shower. That was the first thing I tried to tackle with the ionator. It did not work.
Second, it just so happened that my husband got a large glob of Twitter-blue hair gel on the mirror. The ionator did not remove that either.
Hmm. What did the ionator remove? EVERYTHING ELSE. The ionator HOM is such a badass.
It cleaned the marble in the bathroom with ease. It cleaned the stainless steel appliances beautifully. It got stains off the granite countertops and left no residue or spots. For once, I didn’t have to fear where the cat food was located while I was cleaning.
I can clean the kitchen so much faster with the ionator. It’s almost not a chore now. (Plus, I get to mess with the cats with the lights, so it is fun too.) I’m so much closer to superwoman with the ionator.
Here’s the best part - the science behind the ionator. (The Bill Nye video explains this better than I am about to.) Your regular tap water is transformed when it passes through the ionator. It uses electrolysis to charge the water. When the ionized water hits the surface, it helps to lift the dirt, which is why cleaning is so easy. MOST IMPORTANTLY – the ionator also uses electroporation. As the water leaves the nozzle, there is a slight electric field, which kills 99.9% of harmful germs.
In other words, you can spray a piece of chicken with your ionator and kill the germs on it. For real. It cleans and sanitizes.
This is the best cleaning product I’ve ever used (in addition to hired help). Sure, it can’t beat the hard water stains that I let accumulate for two years, but I think I need a pickax for that. It has completely eliminated my need for most other cleaning products. For people who are relying on harsh chemicals to clean their homes, this is a perfect way to say goodbye to those toxic chemicals and to say hello to something much more environmentally friendly.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary ionator HOM in exchange for an honest evaluation and review. (Yes, it is THIS GOOD. You can order one here.)

1) I really really really really want this.
2) If you get some microfiber clothes (2 of them for $1 at the Dollar Tree), you can get rid of hard water stains and soap scum build up on your shower using just water. It’ll take a while and require a lot of elbow grease but it’ll work
Want. All I can think of is the money we’ll save on cleaning products. Oh yeah.
I think I really need one of these. I live with my In-laws so we can help them out and my MIL is very sensitive to chemicals so we are very limited in what we can clean with. I think this would solve all our problems. Now just to figure out how to afford one.
Holy expensive but good Lord do I want one of these bad boys. I might have to put it on my wish list.
howdy – nice blog, just searching some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you use. I’m currently using WordPress
