What is an Ozone Laundry System?

An ozone laundry system uses advanced technology to make ozone (O3) gas and dissolve it into cold water. This creates a very powerful combination. Water is what we all wash our clothes and linens in, and ozone is the most powerful oxidizer and sanitizer available. Combined, they deliver THE most powerful, effective, efficient, and eco-friendly method of doing all of your laundry.

But what is ozone

Ozone is simply another form of Oxygen. Nothing else. It’s O3 and most Oxygen we are familiar with, the air that we all breathe, is O2. It may not sound like much of a difference, but it sure is. O3 is made out of O2 using electricity. O3 is created in copious amounts in lightning storms and that’s what cleans and sanitizes the air that we breathe. Ozone is what provides that really clean smell after a storm.

Ozone is created in our systems using regular air and electricity. It’s literally like a nano-scale thunderstorm inside the box. Ozone is only dangerous in high concentrations. Our systems only put 1 part of ozone into 1 million parts of water. That’s a very small dose: 1/1,000,000. It’s not enough for us to worry about, but it does a tremendous job at cleaning your linen! You can have the power of a thunderstorm right in your own washing machines!

Ozone is a very powerful oxidizer that can break down soil, all kinds of stains, smells/odors, body oils, suntan oils, and anything else organic, including all bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. It’s impossible to overstate the extent of cleanliness obtained when using dissolved ozone as a component of the washing process.

Ozone laundry systems provide a tremendous positive impact on commercial laundry operations.

Here’s a closer look at how these systems work and the benefits they can offer your business:

5 Key Ozone Laundry Benefits

Let’s explore some key advantages of using an ozone laundry system.

1. Cost Savings

Using an ozone laundry system can provide numerous cost savings:

  • Ozone laundry systems reduce energy consumption by up to 90%, compared to traditional high temperature washing. This is because ozone works in cold water and the vast majority of energy used in a laundry goes to heating all that water!
    Ozone is a fragile molecule and hot water destroys it. Ozone thoroughly cleans and sanitizes laundry in cold water only. It’s a huge paradigm shift. You can still use hot water if you insist, but you’ll elevate your laundry to a whole nother level if you just use cold.
  • Ozone laundry systems can reduce water consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional washing methods. This is because ozone can clean and disinfect laundry effectively in shorter cycles with far fewer chemicals. Fewer chemicals means fewer fill/drain steps to add them and then rinse them out. You’ll only need one fill for washing and one fill for rinsing when using ozone on upwards of 90% of your total volume.
  • An ozone laundry system pretty much only needs a small amount of soap to do a superior job! Using ozone eliminates the need for chlorine bleach, alkali, acid, and fabric softener. Your cost per pound for chemicals goes from a standard $0.025 per pound down to $0.005. That’s 2 and a half-cents per pound, down to only a half-cent per pound for chemicals. That’s a 5-fold reduction in chemical costs (80%!). That’s probably more than enough to pay for one of your washing machines every year!

2. Eco-Friendliness

Using an ozone laundry system can be very eco-friendly.

  • Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that can clean and disinfect laundry effectively without harsh chemicals. You no longer need bleach and the improvement to your indoor air quality due to the elimination of bleach cannot be overstated. Using bleach creates thousands of THMs (trihalomethanes) or DBPs (disinfection byproducts) which are toxic, powerful cancer-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs)! Using ozone creates NONE!
  • An ozone laundry system cuts water use, therefore minimizing the amount of wastewater created
  • Eliminating all the abundance of harsh chemicals used greatly impacts the surface water quality in your region. Harsh chemicals and their damage to the surface water supplies are the scourge of commercial laundry operations that nobody wants to talk about.
  • Eliminating all those chemicals greatly reduces the amount of plastic waste you generate from your laundry operations. Far fewer empty containers to discard.
  • Using cold water eliminates the need to heat many, many thousands of gallons of water for your laundry which reduces your carbon footprint ENORMOUSLY!! There is nothing you can do relating to the operation of your business that will cut more of your carbon footprint than using only cold water in your laundry.

3. Improved Cleaning and Disinfection

Ozone laundry systems take advantage of ozone’s natural ability to kill bacteria and viruses almost instantly. Ozone kills ALL microbiological contaminants many thousands of times faster than chlorine bleach does. It’s impossible for organisms to survive an assault by ozone.

Ozone is a powerful oxidizer and It breaks down the contaminants on your linen that you want to remove during the laundry process. Body oils, body odors, stains, smells, and all allergy-causing contaminants. Using ozone delivers fully hypo-allergenic linen. No itches, scratches, rashes, or redness with any sheets, pillows, or towels washed in ozone.

Using ozone in laundry creates hydroxyl (OH) radicals and they are even more powerful than ozone at cleaning and deodorizing. These highly reactive hydroxyl radicals give ozone laundry the One-Two Punch when it comes to bacteria, stains, and odors.

Ozone also structures the water and causes it to act ‘soft’ and this boosts the efficiency of your detergent. Ozone makes your soap go much farther so you need much less of it to do a superior job.

As a result, your linen comes out of an ozone laundry cycle looking and smelling fresher than they would with traditional laundering methods.

Our slogan says it all: Fresher – Brighter – Cleaner – Safer – Softer – Greener

4. Extended Linen Lifespan

Ozone laundry extends the life of your linen by eliminating all the harsh chemicals and hot water. This greatly extends the life of your expensive linen, by up to 5 times! 500% more life!

Alkali, acid, and chlorine bleach literally shatter the fibers in your linen. Using hot water amplifies this effect. The result is that your linen fibers come apart and end up as lint in your dryer’s lint screen. Traditional laundry practices will cause your sheets to become ‘transparent’ in about 50 washes. Using cold water and ozone will allow you to get 300+ washes out of your sheets before you can start to see through them.

Terry towels are fantastic when they are new. Soft, fluffy, and super-absorbent. However, over time, the tiny loops are coated in hard water calcium and lime deposits and begin to lay flat and become dull. A big, bright, fluffy towel becomes flat, dull and not very appealing. Using ozone will remove these hard water deposits over time which will rejuvenate your tired, old towels and make them fluffy and like new again! Delay having to replace your tired old towels by having new life breathed into them by using ozone!

5. Health and Safety Benefits

Like most business owners, you want to provide employees with a safe and healthy work environment. You also want to do your part to protect the environment.

Ozone laundry systems can help you do both.

  • Ozone is a very powerful natural disinfectant that can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause infections and illnesses, WITHOUT USING CHLORINE BLEACH!
  • Using an ozone laundry system can reduce the need for harsh chemicals, which can harm the environment and human health. Many traditional laundry detergents contain harsh and dangerous chemicals. These chemicals can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and even cancer.
  • Because ozone does not require hot water or harsh chemicals, it reduces the risk of accidents and damage in the laundry room.
  • Ozone laundry systems will create a healthier work environment for all of your employees. By reducing the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses, you’ll be helping to protect their health and safety. No hot water means no hot linens that can burn your employees’ hands. No chlorine bleach means no toxic, cancer-causing vapors to breathe in the laundry and anywhere in your facility for that matter.
