It is important that you always wear the necessary protection when using Chlorine Dioxide tablets for vapor-treating an enclosed space. This includes a proper respiratory mask, eye protection and gloves. Never breath in the vapor. It is also very important that there is no dampness or wet objects in the dwelling when gassing-off takes place. Ensure that the entire space and it's objects are dry.

Following the instructions closely and carefully.

 

Treating Small, Enclosed Spaces:

  • Total time required for gas-off: approximately 2 hours.
  • Never allow humans, pets (including aquarium animals) and plants to be in the dwelling during treatment. This is very important.
  • Use filtered, purified, distilled or reverse osmosis water when using a ClO2 tablet. Do not use tap-water.
  • Always use plastic buckets and tools. Never use metal. This is very important.
  • Use of a 20gram tablet requires a minimum of 5oz of water. (More than 10oz of water is unnecessary). If using more than 1 tablet in the same container (bucket), ensure that you are adjusting your water level. If using 80 to 100 grams worth of tablets, a minimum of 1 gallon of water must be used.
  • We recommend putting a tray under your container (bucket), or using a smaller bucket inside of a larger bucket to ensure there are no spills or damage to the surrounding or beneath area.
  • Close all blinds, curtains and shutters in the space. You want to avoid direct sunlight entering during the treatment process.
  • Make certain to area the vehicle of any large debris or items that may be involved in causing the odor, for example: food-stuffs, cigar butts, dirt, etc.
  • Place your plastic bucket directly under an A/C (air conditioning) or Central Air intake.
  • Fill it with the appropriate amount of water.
  • Fix your aerator device to the side of the bucket in a stable fashion, or beside your setup.
  • Insert the "stone" component (heaviest piece at the end of the tubing) into the water.
  • Make certain to run (turn on) your air system to circulate the air/vapor throughout the dwelling and space.
  • If you are using a room without a central air system, you can use floor-fans, stand-up fans or ceiling fans. Place your bucket setup somewhere central (in the room) to where you are vapor-treating.
  • Make certain that the fans are set to a minimum of medium (moderate) setting and are not close to the bucket with the tablet and aerator device. You want to ensure that the air circulates, but that you do not directly disturb the aerator's function.
  • Turn your aerator device on.
  • Add your tablet(s) to the water.
  • Ensure that any windows in the dwelling or space are closed tightly.
  • Seal off any doors exiting the space by plastic or (thick) towel, as best possible.
  • Allow this process to take place for 2 hours.
  • After the gas-off, allow all spaces in your dwelling to have full access to ventilation (fresh, outside air) for a minimum of 60 minutes. Do not stay in the space until this time has passed.
