If you're a regular reader, you'll remember that I recently rented a house, and I've been working on a hypoallergenic home remodeling project.

At this point, I'm finished with all of the major labor, but I still have a lot of cleaning to do.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to try out a new cleaning solution – Vital Oxide – and it works great!

It's a broad-spectrum disinfectant that kills germs like MRSA, E coli, Legionella, Norovirus, and other microbes. I've been using it to clean all the nooks and crannies in cabinets and in the bathroom.

Vital Oxide also works great for mold and mildew removal and prevention. I even used it on the exterior of my house to treat the vinyl siding.

Finally, it gets rid of odors. The previous occupants of my place had a dog that apparently spent a lot of time in the basement; needless to say, the basement had quite a strong canine odor (a wet canine odor, to be exact) – but not anymore!

Vital Oxide is ideal for allergy sufferers because it's odorless, hypoallergenic, and doesn't contain any VOCs.

It's also safe for the environment because it doesn't produce any toxic byproducts, and it's 100% biodegradable.
Vital Oxide is approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency. It's an all-in-one green cleaning solution.

Vital Oxide works based on the power of oxygen. Its active ingredient is stabilized CLO2, which is not the same thing as chlorine bleach. CLO2 is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and odorless; it's actually used by many cities to purify drinking water, and even though it's a powerful cleaning agent, it's safe enough to wash your hands in. CLO2 contains one chlorine atom and two oxygen atom, and it acts as an oxidizing agent to denature proteins and destroy bacteria, viruses, and allergens.
