How do I check the efficacy of the solution?
Test strips are available for purchase to verify the device is producing SAO.
What if SAO is ingested?
The solution is not intended for consumption, but it will not harm anyone if they accidentally drink it.
Can the solution remove mold?
The Stabilized Aqueous Ozone kills living mold spores. In order to remove dead spores, areas must then be scrubbed.
SAO does not smell like regular cleaners.
Clean does not smell. The smell of lemon, pine, etc. in traditional cleaning chemicals indicates the presence of harmful chemical additives that can cause irritation.
Where can I use SAO solution?
Applications include carpets, stone, marble, ceramic, glass, mirrors, bathrooms, stainless steel & chrome, TV monitors, computer screens, appliances, white boards, hardwood and vinyl. SAO is an approved sanitizer that also deodorizes and works well at removing salt residue in the winter
What does SAO replace?
SAO replaces sanitizers and deodorizers as well as neutral, stainless steel, carpet cleaners, all-purpose and glass cleaners. It DOES NOT replace your current hospital-grade disinfectant.
Can chemicals be used with SAO solution to enhance the ability of cleaning?
It is not recommended that any chemical be used with the SAO solution. Chemicals will negate the ozone in the water.
Are PPEs required when cleaning with SAO?
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of SAO is 0-0-0-A. The use of protective gear should be worn at your discretion, according to the organic matter or pathogens you are coming into contact with.
Will SAO solution remove wax from the floor?
SAO will not remove wax from a floor surface. Many current customers report that floor finishes last longer. This is because SAO is non-corrosive. Third party testing also exists for improved gloss and slip-and-fall levels.
Why does the glass/surfaces have streaks?
It is likely that someone is alternating chemicals with SAO in your cleaning regiment. SAO will attack the layers of chemicals until it reaches the natural surface. To achieve optimal results, SAO should be used exclusively.
What Does SAO stand for?
SAO stands for Stabilized Aqueous Ozone. SAO is formed by infusing oxygen molecules with water molecules using an electric charge. Some people refer to it as “empowered” water or “charged” water, but that often leads to confusion as there are other products that are marketed under those terms.
Is SAO safe to use around food?
The USDA has approved the use of SAO for cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces. Aqueous ozone is commonly used to clean processing surfaces in food manufacturing facilities.
Is SAO safe to use around pets?
SAO is perfectly safe to use around pets and will not harm them if they lick the surface or drink some of the SAO water.
Is SAO approved by the EPA?
Because SAO is generated onsite and contains no chemicals, the EPA regulates the SAO dispenser as a pesticide device. This is similar to UV lights used for disinfecting. Pesticide devices are required to have their manufacturing facility inspected and registered with the EPA. All efficacy claims made by the manufacturer must be supported by approved laboratory testing. Tersano’s EPA registration number is 089093-CAN-001 and all efficacy claims are supported by testing from an approved laboratory. Therefore, the SAO dispenser is an EPA approved disinfecting pesticide device with claims supported by efficacy testing.
Is SAO effective against the CoVid-19 causing virus?
SAO efficacy tests show that it effectively kills 99.99% of the “harder to kill” surrogate virus in 1 minute. Compare that to the claims of Lysol disinfecting wipes and spray that require 10 minutes to achieve a 99.9% reduction of the surrogate virus.
What industries use aqueous ozone?
Aqueous ozone is used in practically every possible industry to clean, sanitize, disinfect and deodorize. These markets include education, sports and fitness centers, grocery stores, churches, retail, hospitality, restaurants, business centers, food and drug manufacturing, dentistry, hospitals, etc.
