Activeion Pro is a hand-held cleaning tool that uses activated water technology, rather than harsh chemicals, to clean many types of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, wood, stone, marble, carpet and clothing. The technology involves tap water flowing through a cell that applies a slight electrical charge. It then passes through an ion exchange membrane, which separates it into an oxygenated mix of positively and negative charged nano-bubbles. Circle 107
