Ozonated water technology has quickly become a favorite for residential and commercial washers. This technology promises a superior clean while offering numerous advantages over traditional washing methods. Ahead, we’ll discuss the important benefits of ozone laundry and how it can help your clothes smell better and last longer.
What Is Ozone Laundry?
The process of ozone laundering involves infusing cold water with ozone, a naturally occurring molecule made of three oxygen atoms. You might recognize its distinctively fresh, clean scent from the air after a thunderstorm; you’re smelling the ozone that the lightning created.
In a professional laundry setting, a specialized system generates ozone and dissolves it into the cold water in washing machines. This ozonated water then becomes a powerful cleaning and disinfecting agent. At MAXfresh LAUNDRY, we use our proprietary MAXfresh® Water technology, which micro-infuses cold water with ozone for every wash cycle. Every load of laundry receives the full benefits of this advanced cleaning power, delivering a deep clean that’s gentle and effective.
The Advantages of Ozone Technology for Laundry
Now that we better understand the basics, it’s time to delve deeper into important ozone laundry benefits. Ozonated cold water’s superior qualities include its ability to provide a deeper, more hygienic clean to laundry, its gentleness on fabrics, and its efficient use of water.
Here’s more information.
Superior Cleaning and Hygiene
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that effectively eliminates a wide range of microorganisms. In fact, it’s approximately 3,000 times faster and 150 percent more effective at killing germs than bleach.
Our MAXfresh® Water system inactivates over 99.9 percent of common germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew, including tough pathogens like MRSA (staph), C. diff, and even the COVID-19 virus. This high level of sanitation is particularly beneficial for commercial clients such as hotels, medical offices, and fitness centers, where hygiene is a top priority. For residential customers, our MAXfresh® Water system provides peace of mind that their family’s laundry is as clean and safe as possible.
Extends Clothing Life
Traditional laundry methods rely on hot water and harsh chemical detergents to achieve a deep clean. Hot water causes colors to fade, fibers to shrink, and stains to set permanently. Chemicals can weaken fabric integrity over time.
Ozone laundry only uses cold water, which is much gentler on clothes. The ozone itself cleans without breaking down fabric fibers. By avoiding hot water and reducing the need for harsh chemicals, ozone laundry helps maintain the color, shape, and texture of your garments.
An Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Solution
For those who prioritize sustainability, ozone laundry is an excellent choice. The process reduces the environmental impact of doing laundry in several ways. First, it relies on cold water, which requires drastically less energy consumption than hot water washes. Less energy usage means a smaller carbon footprint.
Second, since ozone is such a powerful cleaner, users don’t need to use chemical detergents, bleaches, and softeners. MAXfresh LAUNDRY can use 50 percent less detergent while achieving superior results. After the wash cycle, the ozone naturally and quickly breaks down into pure oxygen, leaving no harmful chemical residues in the wastewater. This makes it a much cleaner process for our local waterways.
Dramatic Cost Savings
The efficiency of ozone laundry also translates into tangible cost savings for commercial and residential customers. For businesses, lower utility bills from using much less hot water in laundry cleanings add up to substantial savings over time.
Also, since ozone laundry helps to preserve fabrics instead of breaking them down, businesses get more value out of their everyday materials, like linens, uniforms, and towels. Residential clients also benefit from the extended life of their clothing and the reduced need to purchase expensive, specialized detergents.
Faster and More Efficient Processing
Ozone works quickly to break down soils and disinfect fabrics. This efficiency means shorter wash cycles without compromising the quality of the clean. For commercial operations like hotels or restaurants, faster turnaround times are a major operational advantage.
Quicker processing means linens and uniforms are back in service faster, allowing businesses to operate more smoothly with potentially less inventory on hand. For our residential pickup and delivery customers, this efficiency leads to quicker turnaround times for our services and less time waiting for the return of your clothes.
Powerful and Natural Odor Neutralization
Ozone is one of nature’s most effective deodorizers. Instead of masking unpleasant smells with artificial fragrances found in many detergents and fabric softeners, ozone eliminates them at their source. Ozone effectively breaks down the organic compounds that cause odors from sweat, smoke, pets, and mildew.
This trait makes ozonated laundry even more important for businesses like hotels and restaurants, as ozone will destroy lingering odors from sweat and stains to present a clean and odor-free surface to customers. Your laundry is left genuinely fresh without lingering chemical perfumes. This is also a major plus for individuals with sensitivity to fragrances.
A Natural Fabric Softener
Another remarkable benefit of ozone is its ability to act as a natural fabric softener. Ozone permeates the weaves of the fabric, causing the fibers to relax and fluff up. This process leaves your clothes, towels, and bedding feeling noticeably softer to the touch.
For businesses like hotels, clean and comfortable linens are integral to guest comfort and enjoyment. For residential households, softer laundry makes your clothes and linens feel as soft as new again.
