Have you ever had giggles of joy and childlike laughter while cleaning your kitchen? I never thought it was possible, but that's what happened to me when I was given the chance to try out an Inoator HOM from Activeion (pronounced active -eye-on. ) I don't know quite where to begin except to say this is a new concept in cleaning that will blow your mind!
Why am I talking about it here on my cooking blog? Because with the worries we all have now about salmonella, E-coli, H1N1, and and all the other harmful bacterias out there, we want our kitchens to be as clean and safe as possible. But does that mean you have to spritz everything with chemicals? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
Now here's the weird part; or so it will seem at first. Activeion has discovered a way to clean and sanitize using only water -- yes I said water. I could not believe it, but I'm telling you it really works! You fill the reservoir with regular tap water, plug in the charging unit to any electrical outlet and wait for the red light to turn off- that means it's ready to go. The water is now ready to be ionized! There is a scientific explanation, but I'm not much on science. Please take a few minutes and watch this fun video with Bill Nye the Science Guy, and he'll tell you how it works. Then if you believe it -- and me -- come back and enter to win an Ionator HOM of your own. You'll be cleaning everything in sight just to see if it works. I could not stop myself. I ran from the stove, to the microwave, to the windows, and the countertops, saying "no, this can't be!" Amazing! I'm thrilled. I hope you will be, too.
The Activeion has been featured on PBS, CNBC, Ellen Degeneres, many others. It is now being used in schools and hospitals all over the country. If you're ready to think outside the box and want an Ionator HOM from Activeion of your own, here's how to enter to win one:
Here's how to enter:

I learned that If your sanitizing process requires that you KILL bacteria, the ionator EXP, not the Pro, is your choice. For $30 more you achieve a greater level of sanitizing and receive an additional year warranty. If you are only concerned with cleaning surfaces and removing bacteria, than the Pro is the better choice for your needs.

I don't think Bill Nye would endorse something if he didn't believe in it.
I would use it on the marble tile and grout in my shower. I can't seem to find a non-invasive product that will actually clean it. I would be thrilled to give this a try on that and many of my other household grime.

Activeion would become my primary cleaning agent replacing virtually every product I've ever tried! I would become an inspired cleaning maven, accomplishing all of "those" tasks that I've put off. I would use Activeion to clean every surface, basin, corner, handle, in my home! It would; come to my rescue in those accident moments, break down those stubborn stains in the laundry, and rescue my carpet when my daughter's puppy "blesses" our carpet. Best of all it would free us of exposure to harmful chemicals, that is comforting!

From cleaning medical devices and computer chips to food processing plants, the technology to create ionized water through water electrolysis has been around for more than 50 years. In the past, water electrolysis has created two streams of water – negative and positive – which could not be combined. With the introduction of the ionator EXP™ hand-held sprayer, however, this is the first time both streams have been combined to work together to produce a general-purpose cleaner and sanitizer.
