BioZap™ – Nature's Most Powerful Air Purifier

BioZap air purifier jarBioZap™ Air Purifier & Deodorizer uses essential oils distilled from the Australian tea tree. As it slowly releases vapors of the tea tree oil, they permeate the air and surrounding porous surfaces. The odorless vapors help eliminate molds, mildew, and biological pathogens – the all-natural mold remediation.

Australian tea tree oil is the most powerful antiseptic, germicide, and fungicide created by nature! It kills all three categories of infectious organisms – fungi, bacteria, and viruses. (Molds and mildew, algae, and yeasts are sub-classes of fungi.) Learn more about Australian tea tree oil.

BioZap uses only the highest pharmaceutical grade of tea tree oil directly imported from Australia. (Note that the tea tree oil available in stores is imported from China and other countries, is much less effective, is not certified, and it has a strong medicinal odor.)

BioZap uses the highest pharmaceutical grade of Australian Tea Tree Oil, which is the only tea tree oil proved effective against molds and is subject to strict quality criteria of the Australian government. But you can also buy cheap tea tree oil in health food stores and there are home-made concoctions against molds or bedbugs. More and more consumer products like shampoos now feature tea tree oil. This low-grade tea tree oil substitute is made from residue left after the first pressing of the essential oil or is imported from China or South-East Asia without any research or quality control. Its effectiveness is much lower but its medicinal smell is stronger – not usable for BioZap.

BioZap also breaks down musty odors, which are the first sign of growing molds. When molds munch on cellulose and organic matter, they emit alcohols and aldehydes detectable as a “musty smell.” BioZap not only helps get rid of molds and mildew in basements, homes, or offices, it also makes the indoor air "smell clean" – which means no odors and no synthetic scents.

BioZap™ Air Purifier helps eliminate molds and mildew

Tea tree oil is volatile and quickly evaporates into the air. Its vapors saturate the air in the room until they reach a natural equilibrium. They attack all the invisible molds and spores floating in the air. While mechanical air filters or ionizing air purifiers depend on air moving inside the room, tea tree oil vapors spread by natural diffusion in all directions and reach low-ventilated areas. As many a homeowner knows, molds flourish in low-ventilated corners, hidden nooks and crannies.

The tea tree oil vapors even pursue molds and mildew into building materials and furnishings. Tea tree oil is penetrating – its vapors penetrate into porous materials like sheetrock, paneling, ceilings, concrete, and upholstery. Other air cleaners can capture molds only after they are released into the air but BioZap vapors attack molds already when they are just starting to grow, be it a basement wall, drapes, or an air-conditioning duct.

Since tea tree oil vapors penetrate into porous surfaces, they help kill the roots of mold and mildew and provide a lasting protection. In comparison, bleach kills only the mold growth on surfaces but does not penetrate into pores. It actually waters the roots and the mold will soon grow back. BioZap avoids the fumes and health hazards of chlorine bleach. And unlike a bleach, BioZap does not affect the color of fabrics, carpeting, or upholstery, and their anti-stain chemical treatment.

Safety: The vapors of the Australian tea tree oil are not harmful to humans or pets and the essential oil is classified as non-hazardous. This essential oil has been used for various medical purposes for many decades, particularly in Australia, and also in aromatherapy.

How to get rid of molds and mildew

Once you can detect a musty odor, it is a sign that molds are growing somewhere – in the drywall, carpeting, upholstered furniture, etc. As soon as possible, place a couple jars of BioZap, or more, in the room. BioZap odorless vapors will permeate the air and surrounding porous surfaces, including carpeting and upholstered furniture, to pursue the invisible mold and mildew.

If you notice a small growth of molds, place a jar of BioZap nearby and after several days, wipe it off with a damp cloth. If there is a noticeable accumulation of molds and mildew stains, use our BioZap Mold & Mildew Cleaner. Unlike bleach, it penetrates to the roots of the molds, which prevents their return. And it does not emit harmful fumes. Or use BioZap Laundry Pre-Soak to remove mildew stains and stubborn odors from your clothing and fabrics.

Mold prevention

Infestation of molds can destroy organic building materials, furniture, carpeting, and can even make homes uninhabitable. Homeowners can lose all their property, because most insurance companies exclude damages caused by molds and mildew. Unlike fires, molds expose homeowners to unlimited damages. This makes mold prevention critical to one's financial survival.

Molds are too small to be visible. Once large mold accumulations become visible, expensive mold remediation may be required. Molds need high humidity and food - organic matter for their growth. Basic preventative steps:

  • Reduce humidity in your home to ideally below 50%. Basements and foundation slabs are the single largest source of humidity in your home – the porous concrete lets in several times more water vapor than showering and cooking combined! Seal your concrete floor and any underground walls with RadonSeal deep-penetrating concrete sealer against capillary water seepage and water vapor. Seal and caulk any openings or cracks against soil gas, which is 100% humid.
  • Install a few jars of BioZap Air Purifier in areas susceptible to molds, e.g. the basement, bathrooms, kitchen, A/C ducts.

BioZap vapors penetrate into pores and leave active residue, which helps to prevent molds.

Why Nature beats man-made air cleaners and deodorizers

  • Tea tree oil vapors attack molds, mildew, and fungi while they grow without waiting until they are released into the air.
  • Attack molds in corners and areas with low air circulation, unreachable by air cleaners.
  • Penetrate into porous materials and attacks the roots of molds.
  • Help eliminate even the smallest biological pathogens like mold spores, not limited by a particle size like in air filters.
  • Do not release ozone or ionized particles, which irritate the lungs.
  • Break down and eliminate odors, do not just mask odors with a scent.
  • Do not release synthetic scents or fumes.
  • No electricity needed.

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

Ozone is more than harmful!:
A recent study (January 2006) by the US EPA and CDCP 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. An increase of 10 ppb measured day to day increases premature mortality in the population by 0.3 percent. Even very low concentrations of ozone are dangerous. The very popular electronic air filters / electrostatic precipitators release ozone, especially when dirty. They charge airborne particles and then, trap them on oppositely charged metal plates. But as the particles pass by the high-voltage wires inside the air cleaner, electrons can jump to the particles, causing a small arc or spark, which generates ozone.

Ordering and shipping

BioZap is produced as a gel-like foam to hold the pharmaceutical-grade Australian tea tree oil. Available in several very light scents made from natural herbal oils. (Most "air fresheners" use synthetic fragrances derived from petroleum, which release harmful Volatile Organic Compounds.)

Scents:  
  • lemon
  • spicy orange
  • citrus
  • cool water (spicy blend of mint, clove and floral oils)
  • mint
  • eucalyptus
  • no scent

BioZap is packaged in hermetically sealed plastic jars. Once opened, the foam slowly evaporates, usually over a period of 6 to 8 weeks.

How to use BioZap Air Purifier & Deodorizer

Place BioZap jars in basements, bathrooms, rest rooms, kitchens, air-conditioning ducts, homes or offices, RV’s, ships, and other indoor areas with the potential risk for molds, mildew, biological pathogens, and odors.

For prevention or for very light odors, one 1-lb. jar can cover 1,000 to 2,000 sq. ft. For worse conditions, use a couple of jars in the room or several jars in the house. Place a 2-lb. jar in the air return of your furnace/HVAC system to help eliminate molds in the ducts and to disperse a low level of the tea tree vapor through the house.

Musty or moldy basements: Breaks down musty odors and helps eliminate molds hiding in the surfaces of walls, floor and ceiling, in insulation, furnishings and carpeting. 2 jars on opposite sides are usually sufficient.

A small growth of mold and mildew on a sheetrock wall: Place a jar of BioZap right in front of the affected area. Usually, the mold will die and dry out in about a week. But use the BioZap Mold & Mildew Cleaner on larger moldy areas.

Smelly locker room: install a couple jars of BioZap to eliminate the pungent odors.

Animal odors: Cleans up the smells from pet urine or feces.

Smoke odors: Cleans up the odors after smoking.

Disaster restoration: BioZap is even effective in extreme situations like eliminating the odors from fire damage (“fire restoration”), water flooding, or sewer backup. Read Cleaning up Molds after Flooding and Hurricanes

Mold prevention is much cheaper than mold remediation! Insert a jar BioZap in the return (suction) duct of the home or office air-conditioning system (or in front of the return grid) to help prevent molds.

Cleaning indoor air of bacteria and viruses: Avoid the "sick building syndrome" or mini-epidemics on cruise ships and yachts. During the flue season, help prevent the spread of air-born germs in homes, offices, or schools to. Install a 2-lb. jar of BioZap in the suction duct of air-conditioning systems to help eliminate germs inside the ducts and to sanitize the indoor air.

Salvaging moldy furniture, clothing, books or documents: Normally, these materials have to be discarded but BioZap has proved successful in salvaging them. Place the affected items in a smaller dry room like a garage, isolated from the living area, and spread them out or hang them up to allow maximum access of air. If there is a visible build-up of molds and mildew stains, spray on BioZap Mold & Mildew Cleaner. Use several jars of BioZap Air Purifier and a fan to blow the vapors on the items. After a week or two, clean the items of residue, preferably outside, using proper safety pre-cautions. Use BioZap Presoak to recover clothing with mildew stains and musty odors.

Bed bugs, lice, and dust mites: In higher concentrations, tea tree oil vapors even kills bed bugs, the recent scourge in hotels, and dust mites, the major cause of asthma and other respiratory problems. Place a jar of BioZap air Purifier under to your bed. Or spray BioZap Mold & Mildew Cleaner directly on the bed and bedding. Launder the bedding in BioZap Pre-Soak.

Hospital germs: The vapors of Australian tea tree oil have been shown to even kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA) in hospitals. Place a jar of BioZap in your hospital room and breathe easier.
