The system provides an effective, innovative and sustainable cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing solution. Tersano’s clients continue to contribute to the health of people and planet through the elimination of harsh chemicals. Tersano eliminates the need to purchase, transport, distribute, store, and restock multiple cleaning products. SAO technology is patent-protected and revolutionary. It creates an all-in-one solution, approved for sanitizing up to 24 hours and cleaning for 6 days.
How SAO Works
This patent-protected technology creates Stabilized Aqueous Ozone (SAO®), an effective, innovative and sustainable cleaning, deodorizing, and sanitizing solution. SAO attacks organic matter, breaking it down into smaller particles and suspending it in solution.
How SAO Kills
When applied to surfaces, SAO (ozone in a stabilized, aqueous form), kills the germs that can also cause odours. When ozone (O3) molecules make contact with the cell wall of bacteria & viruses, tiny holes are created.
This reaction is called oxidation. Oxidation is germ killing.
How SAO Cleans
Ozone reacts with proteins which are large organic compounds and consist of strings of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds react with the 3rd oxygen atom in ozone and break apart the proteins, leaving behind those amino acids. The base amino acids will continue to react with ozone and break down into even more stable/inert inactive matter. These minute particles are then readily suspended in solution. Once dirt is surrounded by these ions, it no longer adheres to the surface and becomes suspended in solution.
