In my sanitizing process for my food license, I have to use a product that kills 99% of germs. Does this?

Absolutely! This is an excellent sanitizer and would be explained in your ServSafe course. A cheaper alternative would be bleach. Whichever one you chose would necessitate you getting the test strips in order to make sure the PPM is at a correct level.

Good question. I've always just replaced the entire thing. It will pull off with a little effort but I'm not sure how to sanitize it. I'd like to know the answer to that question.

I have done 3 buckets of comt using SCD probiotics K100 and all I got was mold. I reverting back to using my compost barrel...no mold in there and breaks down better. I really do not think the probiotics breaks down the meat/cheese so I am no longer using them and trust me I set up my system by the book. waste of money

I don't believe it has killing properties, just exudes 'clean air'. Ozone and UV light kills viruses and this does not produce those.

Hi-the ingredients kill fungi and bacteria-i knew mine was yeast-it was instinct to let it lozenge

It should. When used properly it can kill even the aids virus. You can use it in a spray bottle but to be effective you need to allow the solution to sit on the surface for about five minutes. All surface dirt should be removed prior to sanitization.

Here is what it says on the back of the filter package: "Tested and Certified Aquamira Filtration Technology removes >99.9% Giardia and Cryptosporidium". Then a little farther down the package it says: "Miraguard Antimicrobial Technology suppresses the growth of bacteria, algae, fungus, mold and mildew within the filter media. Miraguard does not protect users against food borne or disease causing bacteria viruses, germs or other disease causing organisms." I have not used mine on anything other than tap water (it greatly improves the taste); for travel to Mexico, I purchased a water purifying SteriPEN that operates on a battery.

According to my vet and the labeling ot will take care of pretty much anything. Spores worms bacteria and virus'. It has to be applied and let set for 5 minutes then wiped off and allowed to air dry then washed in a regular manner to use for pets afterwards. Somewhat of a pain but worth it in my book as it kills things that bleach, chlorhexadrine and f10 won't touch

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.

The makers of Star San says it Kills spores, viruses and gram neg and gram positive all bacteria and others. He says it's a stone cold killer of everything.

No it does not kill germs. Forgive my correction but neither does normal dish soap or hand soap. Soap/detergent with antimicrobial action will almost always have some kind of antimicrobial ingredient such as triclosan or chlorhexadine etc... Some "all natural" ingredients exist with antimicrobial actions. Be forewarned though that there is some good evidence that triclosan has endocrine-disrupting properties and in all actuality it is best to avoid it. In addition, the everyday use of "antibacterial" soaps has led to bacteria that are resistant TO these chemicals. Any healthcare pro, microbiologist etc...worth their salt would recommend using regular soap and warm water. REMOVAL of germs is the best strategy. For surfaces, there's no substitute for good ole bleach diluted to proper strength. All that written, I REALLY like Dr. Bronner's! Use these soaps almost exclusively. GREAT company; honest, doing right, natural products, good products etc... And they smell great too. Hope this helps.

The active ingredient in Advanage is called 2-Butoxyethanol(close to glycol) , there are two other ingredients sodium metasilicate(sodium carbonate fused with silicon dioxide) and d'limonene(oil extract from citrus fruit). They are good degreasers and can be found in most cleaning agents like simple green. In no way would this product qualify to be considered an anti-bacterial cleaner, but it will kill some stuff. If you want to know more feel free to let me know. Basically, it's like buying antifreeze with orange peels in it. It's not toxic by US standards but other countries that have scientists making decisions instead of some uneducated politician.

I hadn't seen that FDA statement. I have seen numerous statements that ozone does sanitize. I do know that I grow yellow mold within 3 says if I don't completely clean the humidifier. After soclean I have never had any growth in 4 months. Very happy. Ozone smells though for about 2 mins of use. Need aroma therapy adapter for it

It appears to be illegal for companies to sell in large quantities in the US without pasteurizing...http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=dailytip&dbid=324 I just read up on this myself. I'm interested in the answer, as well...

since it says 99% pure - one would have to assume that the 1% is something else. Water? Logic dictates -- what it is probably falls into a list of safe items to be dispensed. Logical?

I put thieves from young living under my tongue all the time for an immune booster. Taste is not great but it keeps me healthy. I do everything I can in my house to kill all those nasty germs that my kids bring home from school.
