BioZap All-Natural Air Purifier and Deodorizer

If persistent, offensive odors are invading your home or basement look no further than BioZap Air Purifier and Deodorizer. The safe and natural way to purify the air in your living space and eliminate unpleasant smells. BioZap utilizes the unique powers of Australian Tea Tree Oil and is particularly effective in areas where musty odors are caused by molds and mildew. Ideal for basements, crawlspaces, boats, and water-damaged buildings.

Simply remove the lid of the BioZap jar, place it in the affected room, and allow for it to gently release vapors of the essential oil into the air. The vapors will permeate throughout the living space and into porous materials, like curtains, upholstery, carpeting, and drywall. Over time the vapors will not only “scrub” the air and furnishings of the odors but will also make the air “smell clean.”

All-Natural Solution – Chemical cleaners and air fresheners will only mask odors and can even make the situation worse. Australian Tea Tree Oil does not just mask odors with a scent but breaks them down. Unlike man-made cleaners, BioZap contains no synthetic scents or harmful VOCs. Additionally, the vapors of the Australian Tea Tree oil are not harmful to humans or pets. The essential oil used is classified as non-hazardous.

How To Eliminate Musty Odors from Molds and Mildew

Molds float in the air and settle on surfaces but are invisible until they build up as a large growth. But when the molds munch on cellulose and organic matter, they emit alcohols and aldehydes detectable as a “musty smell,” which gives them away. The moldy, musty smell is the first warning sign of growing molds.

Clean Visible Mold Using BioZap™ Mold & Mildew Cleaner

Eliminate the odors with BioZap and take the proper steps to prevent the growth of molds by reducing air humidity, ideally to below 50%. Basements and foundation slabs are the single largest source of humidity in your home – concrete is porous and lets in several times more water vapor than showering and cooking combined!

As a quick solution, you can purchase a dehumidifier but its power consumption costs about $40 per month. For a permanent solution, seal the concrete floors and underground walls with RadonSeal® Deep-Penetrating Concrete Sealer and caulk all cracks or gaps. This will save you a bundle compared to running a dehumidifier.

Where BioZap is Being Used

BioZap is especially effective when used against mold and mildew odors. Consequently, its most common use is in musty-smelling basements and crawlspaces but there are no limits to the ways BioZap can be used. Just place jars in areas with high humidity or areas which are prone to molds and mildew:

• Basements and Crawlspaces
• Bathrooms, or Garages – Residential and commercial use.
• Boats, Ships – Use for boat winterizing.
• Storage Facilities or Containers – Spaces with little ventilation and airflow.
• Disaster Restoration – Effective in extreme situations like eliminating the odors from water flooding, fire damage, or sewer backup.
• Heating, Ventilation, A/C systems – An effective solution for cleaning and deodorizing the ducts and connected rooms. Place ONE (1) 2-lb. jar of BioZap into a return air duct and let the vapor dissipate through the building.

BioZap is also effective against body odor, pet odor, and smoke odor making it ideal for use in gyms (check your local Fitness Edge® location), locker rooms, kennels, and historic structures. Use for confined or gathering places to eliminate body sweat and pet odors:

• Gyms and Locker Room
• Cars, R-V’s, Trailers, Campers, Tents
• Hotel and Motel Rooms
• Office Buildings
• Kennels, Horse Stables

Deodorize Smelly Furniture, Clothing, and Books – Normally, these items have to be discarded but BioZap has proven successful in salvaging them. Place the affected items in a smaller dry room like a closet or a tent and spread them out or hang them up to allow access to air. Use several jars of BioZap Air Purifier and a fan to blow the vapors over the items.

The Tea Tree Oil Boom in the U.S.

In the last decade, the use of Tea Tree Oil has spread rapidly. High-grade Australian Tea Tree Oil is used in hospitals as an antiseptic and according to studies published in American scientific journals, tea tree oil has been proven effective against MRSA (the “hospital killer bug”), Candida (a yeast), and Legionella (a bacteria).

EPA Approved? – Tea tree oil cannot be marketed as a pesticide, fungicide, or bactericide in the U.S. because it has not been approved by the government. The approval process is largely self-financed by the industry and no company will invest millions of dollars on a naturally grown product that is not patentable. Tea Tree is used in a variety of products on the market today, including:

• Antibacterial Soaps, Shampoos, Deodorants
• Skin Lotions
• Mouthwash and Toothpaste
• Household Cleaners
• Antiseptic and Antifungal Solutions
• Inhalers – To clear up sinuses and chest congestion
• Air-conditioning Duct Disinfectants

About Tea Tree Oil

There are over three hundred varieties of the Melaleuca tree but only one, the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia, has been found to have both antiseptic and fungicidal properties. This bushy tree is native to New South Wales in Australia. Its volatile essential oil is produced by steam distillation of its foliage.

Australian Tea Tree oil is a complex of over 100 naturally occurring compounds. It is the only tea tree oil tested in Australia for its antibiotic, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Its composition has to meet the strict quality criteria of the Australian government. But cheap tea tree oil is also available in health food stores and there are homemade concoctions against molds or bedbugs. Low-grade tea tree oil is made from residue left after the first pressing of the essential oil or is imported from Asia with little quality control. Its effectiveness is much lower and its medicinal smell stronger. Not suitable for BioZap.

The Australian aborigines discovered the medicinal properties of Tea Tree Oil. During WW II, the first-aid kits
of Australian soldiers contained Tea Tree Oil as a “cure-all” for wounds, infections, and everything else
from head lice to trench foot. It is also widely used in Europe for aromatherapy, various medicinal and cosmetic
products. More on the unique powers of Australian Tea Tree Oil

How Nature Beats Man-Made Air Cleaners

Synthetic air fresheners release harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) –  Research shows that a chemical compound (1,4-dichlorobenzene) found in many air fresheners may be harmful to the lungs – Synthetic air fresheners can cause lung damage (published by National Institutes of Health in June, 2006). Asthma risk to small children rises as their home exposure to 1,4-DCB increases (study published in Thorax in 2005). Remarkably, 96% of Americans have detectable levels of 1,4-DCB in their blood.

• Does not release ozone or ionized particles, which irritate the lungs.
• Vapors penetrate into porous materials and low-ventilated areas.
• No electricity is needed.
• Tree Oil does not mask odors but breaks them down.
• Zero synthetic scents or fumes.

Ozone is More Than Harmful – The popular electronic air filters/electrostatic precipitators release ozone, especially when dirty. As charged particles pass by the high-voltage wires inside the air cleaner, electrons jump to the particles, causing a small arc or spark, which generates ozone. A study by the US EPA and CDCP (January 2006) has found that ozone, even at the current “safety limit” (80 parts per billion outdoors and 50 ppb indoors) increases the risk of premature death. Even very low concentrations of ozone are dangerous. An increase of 10 ppb increases premature mortality in the population by 0.3 percent.
