I just use these generic squeeze bottles, no problem with drips

So a quick review:

  • The Force of Nature (FON) unit is surprisingly small
  • No cap - just a pour spout
  • Fill to the line with water, break & squeeze the capsule in, press the button, let sit for 10 minutes, done!
  • Makes the water look fizzy while it's charging it (or whatever it's called)
  • Pour spout makes filling the sprayer easy
  • Turn the sprayer knob a little for mist, and more for a stream

As far as the cleaner goes:

  • Smells like a pool (chlorinated...like a well-maintained pool, not a horribly over-chlorinated pool
  • Takes about 10 minutes after wiping dry for the smell to go away
  • Does a good on multiple surfaces (including glass)

As far as cleaning goes:

  • To clean, spray & wipe
  • To disinfect, you have to spray it, leave it for 10 minutes, THEN wipe it - think of it like toilet bowl cleaner, it's gotta sit for awhile
  • There's no alcohol in the spray, so it takes forever to evaporate, so you have to wipe it dry
  • They recommend scrubbing down gross surfaces with baking soda & water as needed (to clear the surface), THEN clean with the FON spray, then wipe dry

Glass cleaning is pretty good, although you have to work a bit harder than my homemade glass cleaner...it does clean the glass & leave it streak-free, although at an angle I could see some "foggy" spots. This is the recipe for my homemade glass cleaner, which is wicked amazing:

  • 1/4-cup Rubbing Alcohol
  • 1/4-cup White Vinegar
  • 2-teaspoons Cornstarch (this is what makes it streak-free)
  • 2-cups Water

Directions: (works great, WAY better than Windex!)

  1. Combine using a blender (make sure to clean the blender out with soap or in the dishwasher after!)
  2. Pour into a spray bottle (I get those blue glass misting bottles off Amazon)
  3. I just use paper towels to wipe it off

Anyway...I'm a bit sensitive to smells, and the FON spray definitely smelled like a pool to me. It's not a "nice, light, fresh, clean" scent like Febreze or something...it smells like a chlorinated pool. Not like a "whack you in the face" smell like Lysol with Bleach, but strong enough to be noticeable. The smell does dissipate pretty well after ten minutes or so, but if you're working extensively in a small, poorly-ventilated space like a half-bathroom, make sure to leave the door open!

So far so good...it's cleaned everything I've thrown at it! One thing I was really happy with is my plastic squeeze bottles for cooking oil...I have various plastic squeeze bottles like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Condiment-16-ounce-Dressing-Pinnacle-Mercantile/dp/B00OZOW6E0/

I use them for various oils like olive oil, canola oil, etc. for easy squirting while cooking. The plastic tends to get VERY greasy from the oil & I've never quite been able to de-grease them, even with liquid dish soap or in the dishwasher. The FON spray did a GREAT job with them! Granted, they sucked up a little bit of the chlorine smell into the outside, but at least they're not all greasy when I touch them anymore!

I have a large supply of capsules from the one-year starter kit, so I'll continue to use them & see how they fare. So far, it seems to be a pretty universal cleaner, and despite the chlorine scent (which isn't horrible, and also airs out after awhile, for the most part), isn't killing my nose, making me dizzy, or giving me headaches from the noxious smell like other cleaning chemicals do. I'll have to give it a try on carpet next, to see how it fares...
