How it Works
How does Ozone clean?
When you have proper (Cold water) ozone application, it actually relaxes fabrics, making it easier to remove odors and soils with less water, fewer chemicals and a shorter wash cycle. The relaxed fabrics require less dry time—saving electricity and gas while extending linen life.
As a powerful oxidant, ozone will react with many of the proteins, fats, oils, tannins and serum constituents that compose soils on textiles. Ozone oxidation divides many large molecules leaving smaller oxidized residuals with improved solubility characteristics which allow their removal with significantly less chemicals. Similarly, ozone reacts similarly to color safe oxygen based bleaches, removing stains and destroying microbes while leaving fabrics undamaged and colors bright.
Because of these cleaning enhancing properties, ozone can effectively be used in laundry operations to enhance the use of chemical detergents. Since ozone also has significant sterilization properties, it makes an ideal laundry problem solver.
