HOME > VITAL OXIDE

Removing mold and bacteria can involve strong chemicals that can trigger health problems, but our Vital Oxide controls mold and kills bacteria by oxidizing it instead of bleaching it. It’s so mild, you can wash your hands in it, but it’s tough on mold. Use it in shower stalls, under sinks, in basements and crawl spaces--anywhere mold and bacteria is found. In recent tests, Vital Oxide kept mold from growing on ceiling tile for 7 months. This EPA registered product is colorless, odorless and will not harm water-safe fabrics. Simply spray, lightly scrub to remove stains, rinse with water, and re-spray for protection.

• VITAL-OXIDE produces no harmful by-products for the environment. The smart ecological choice—contains no ozone harming VOC's and is 100% biodegradable.
• VITAL-OXIDE stands out among antimicrobial cleaners with a combination of extremely low toxicity and long-term effectiveness. It is non-corrosive, non-irritating to skin, and requires no special handling instructions on its label.
• VITAL-OXIDE formula includes components that emulsify common oily, greasy substances, readily penetrating surfaces coated with oily materials.
• VITAL-OXIDE is effective even when diluted up to 50%. To enhance this capability, a sequestering agent in the formulation prevents the deactivation of the surface-active agents in the formula where "hard" water is used for dilution. As little as 2 ppm will prevent bio-slime formation in drip irrigation lines.
• VITAL-OXIDE is a highly effective odor remover that does not mask or cover up odors with a fragrance—it eliminates them on a molecular level.

Areas of use include: Hospitals, Cruise Ships, Restaurants, Hotels, Schools & Day Care, HVAC Systems, Sports Equipment, Building Materials, Drip Irrigation Lines, Kennels, Auto Detail Shops and Households.

Proven effective against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Norovirus, Legionella pneumophilia, and E. coli in testing conducted by certified independent laboratories under GLP conditions submitted to the USEPA. Vital Oxide is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that performs against a wide variety of bacteria, yeasts, viruses, fungi, spores, molds, mildews, and other microbes. It is effective at low concentrations, over a wide pH range.

What Makes VITAL-OXIDE Different From Other Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide?

• VITAL-OXIDE is Shelf Stable & Ready To Use. No mixing required. Spray, wipe, or fog right from the bottle.
• VITAL-OXIDE is stabilized to retain over 98% of its strength for over one year under normal storage conditions. At the same time the stabilization is controlled to allow a rapid equilibrium between the "stabilized" and "free" chlorine dioxide. This means that the VITAL-OXIDE total 2,000-ppm CLO2 is available almost instantly as needed to destroy harmful microbial substances, and whatever is not used will be available in reserve for longterm residual activity.
• VITAL-OXIDE includes components that dramatically decrease the size of it’s particles to nano scale. This increases the ability of the active solution to spread on and to penetrate both hard and porous surfaces. This also makes it very effective against airborne pathogens by reducing droplet size from sprayers and foggers.

Q: What does it mean that Vital Oxide is "green"?

A: Vital Oxide is one of the "greenest" disinfectants currently on the market. The chemical composition of Vital Oxide is such that it has a minimal impact on the environment and contains no ozone harming volatile compounds. Vital Oxide can be considered the "green alternative to chlorine bleach" because VO is just as powerful in terms of its ability to disinfect, but is not corrosive to skin and treated articles like chlorine bleach. It's mild on skin, hard surfaces and fabric, but tough on resistant forms of bacteria and mold.

Q: How quickly does Vital Oxide kill bacteria?

A: In recent tests conducted by independent labs under GLP conditions, Vital Oxide began killing bacteria immediately on contact and significantly reduced bacterial populations within 2 minutes.

Q: I see that Vital Oxide is used in schools and hospitals, but can I use VO at home?

A: Yes. Vital Oxide is an excellent disinfectant to use around the house. Some of the best places to use Vital Oxide at home are in musty basements, in bathrooms where mildew has accumulated (or on surfaces to protect against mold and mildew), and in the kitchen to keep food surfaces clean. Vital Oxide has also been tested on carpets and can be used around the house to disinfect carpets.

Q: What are the advantages of using sprayers and foggers to disperse Vital Oxide?

A: The quickest way to disinfect a hospital room, entire basement, or school gym is by using a fogger or electrostatic sprayer that can create a fine mist to treat objects, walls, floors, and ceilings in a matter of just a few minutes. Electrostatic sprayers and foggers can dramatically cut the time to disinfect large areas. Vital Oxide is one of the few disinfectants that can be dispersed in this manner because VO is non-corrosive to treated surfaces and objects.

Q: With so many disinfectants and mold removers on the market, why should I choose Vital Oxide?

A: Vital Oxide uses a unique chemical compound called chlorine dioxide. While other competitors and manufacturers have attempted to copy and produce a form of stabilized chlorine dioxide simlar to Vital Oxide, our revolutionary formula is simply unequaled. Chlorine dioxide has been used during Anthrax attacks, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, to purify drinking water, and most recently to kill MRSA in schools and hospitals. It is also safe to use around children, employees, patients, students, and close family members. Vital Oxide is the green and gentle choice.
