​Generally, Zeffer Gel takes 30 to 45 days to completely evaporate.

Variables that affect evaporation:

Temperature
Relative humidity
Air volume over the gel
Size of the coverage area
Types of furnishings
Zeffer Gel has developed several methods to regulate the rate at which the gel evaporates.

Use the proper amount of Zeffer Gel for the area you wish to cover
Regulate gel evaporation by adjusting the airflow over the gel
Increase or decrease fan speed
Open or close down air vents in the gel container.
We advise customers to monitor the Zeffer Gel dispensers until you learn how the gel works in your particular situation.

Our experts can advise you how to get the most efficient coverage using the least amount of gel.

The residue is what is left behind after the water in the gel has evaporated and carried the tea tree oil into the air. The residue is harmless, 100% biodegradable and can be disposed of in normal trash.

​You may need to increase the airflow over the gel by increasing fan speed or by opening the vents to allow more tea tree oil into the air.

​Tea tree oil remains on the job even when the Zeffer Gel is gone from the dispenser and all you can see is the opaque residue.
Although tea tree oil will remain in the area for many days after the gel in the dispenser is gone, it is best to refill with Zeffer Gel as soon as possible to maintain the best coverage. Contact Us here to reorder.

No! What you smell is natural tea tree oil.

Zeffer Gel comes in two scents:
1. Forest – The natural scent of 100% tea tree oils, no perfume or fragrance is added.
2. Lemon – This is produced by a type of tea tree oil that naturally smells like lemons. Nothing is added.
You can adjust the intensity of the scent by regulating the amount of airflow over the gel container.

​You can store unopened containers of Zeffer Gel for at least 12 months from date of manufacture. The dates are coded on each package.

Zeffer Gel should be stored in a cool, dark area. Refrigeration will extend the shelf life by at least 6 months.(18 Months From Purchase)

​The term “oil” is not quite correct. Highly refined liquid melaleuca extract is very light, almost like water. It is carried into the air in the area, does its job and then degrades and is absorbed into the air or removed by normal cleanings. There is never any residue on furniture, walls, floors, walls, fixtures or equipment.

​Any HVAC system expert will tell you that regular cleaning and maintenance by an experienced company is good practice. But even if you are between scheduled cleanings, Zeffer Gel is effective in your system and the areas you want to treat.

Just introduce Zeffer Gel at any time and keep to your regular cleaning as planned. The tea tree oil will still go through the system and into the environment and do its job.
