In a post-Covid world, professional cleaning businesses are starting to look for new methods to remove viral threats and provide better cleaning services. While ozonated water has been around for a century, it’s now emerging as an effective alternative to traditional cleaning agents due to it being a strong oxidant and an eco-friendly disinfection agent. Sanitization using ozone removes the need for dangerous chemical disinfectants and is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sanitization products. Ozone acts 3,000 times faster than chlorine and is 50 times more effective. After the sanitization process ozone simply reforms into oxygen molecules, without emitting any harmful by-products.

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of using ozonated water in your professional cleaning business, and answer some common questions related to ozonated water.

Benefits of Using Ozonated Water For Your Professional Cleaning Business 

Ozonated water has been used in the cleaning industry for many years. Its natural disinfectant properties and reactive nature make it a perfect sanitizing agent for your cleaning business. Cleaning companies often use hazardous and potentially harmful chemical products for their jobs, however, ozonated water has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for green and sustainable cleaning businesses that don’t put employees or the environment at risk. Ozone and its benefits are well known within the industry, which is one reason why you should use ozonated water within your business. 

Environmentally Friendly 

We often overlook the damage our business practices cause to the environment. A high volume of chemicals is discarded within the cleaning industry, which often ends up in sewage lines and into our rivers. As the O3 (ozone) molecule fails to maintain its chemical bond at room temperature, the electrolytic ozone generator is essentially returning water back into the environment. The reactivity of the O3 reverts ozonated water back to its regular, harmless form. 

It’s Cost-Effective 

Recurring expenses of a cleaning business may include cleaning chemicals and safety equipment. These accumulate over time and may lead to significant costs for your cleaning business. Working with ozonated water saves money because it does not require the constant re-stocking of chemical cleaning agents. The creation of ozonated water only requires a purchase of an electrolytic ozone generator, with a lifespan of two years.

It’s safe for employees 

Cleaning businesses take on a multitude of cleaning jobs, from homes, offices, industrial spaces, vehicles, and more. These tasks require manpower, and the risk of employee sickness is high. According to the United States Department of Labor, cleaning business employees face hazards in the workplace that can have adverse effects on their health over time.

There are a large number of pending workplace compensation lawsuits within the cleaning industry. The most efficient way to improve workplace safety is by using ozonated water that can be up to 100 times safer than any other chemical disinfectant. Furthermore, ozonated water is odor-free, meaning that your employees will not become sick from strong odors. It really is the best option for a healthier workplace. 

A Practical Approach

Ozonated water is created with the help of an electrolytic ozone generator from BES/Biosure. These generators are available in small sizes that are lightweight and easily transportable. Using ozone generators in your cleaning business will not result in any extra training or mixing of multiple chemical cleaning agents. Using ozonated water may also improve the quality and outcome of your work.

High Efficiency 

Ozonated water is 3,000 times faster than chlorine and other cleaning chemicals, which is why it is considered to be a highly efficient cleaning solution. Furthermore, ozonated water can be quickly formed on site. This means that your cleaning team can work more efficiently, and complete twice the amount of work than with regular cleaning equipment. 

Is Ozonated Water Effective as a Disinfectant? 

When considering its disinfectant properties, ozonated water is often compared with bleach. However, unlike bleach, ozonated water does not leave harmful chemical residues or leave unpleasant odors. In fact, ozonated water is used to eliminate odors in the air. Its robust oxidation properties mean it can quickly kill germs, bacteria, and viruses — including Covid-19. One ppm of chlorine at water level with a ph of 7 would require a dwell time of 75 minutes whereas 1 ml of ozonated water under the same conditions would require only 57 minutes. 

Can Ozonated Water Kill COVID-19? 

A recent study from Nara University in Japan has proven that ozonated water from BES ozone generators can neutralize the COVID-19’s virus host on surfaces. Professional cleaning businesses that use ozonated water can offer their customers surface-area protection against the virus that has infected millions and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide.

Is Ozonated Water For Professional Cleaning Businesses Safe?

There are some common misconceptions that using ozonated water as a disinfection agent may not be safe. Although the idea of using liquid infused with ozone may be surprising, ozone is a natural gas that is present within the planet’s upper atmosphere. Creating and infusing it with water has no harmful effects to humans. Ozonated water is a liquid that reverts back to oxygen within minutes. While the liquid is still present, its ratio to the natural oxygen in the air is significantly low, making it safe for people. 

In Conclusion

Ozonated water has tremendous benefits in the cleaning industry. With the COVID-19 pandemic upon us, cleaning businesses are seeing a significant increase in demand and in the need for effective and chemical-free disinfectants, and thus big opportunities to implement ozonated water in your cleaning business.

An eco-friendly or “green” cleaning business is a professional cleaning service that only uses cleaning products that are safe for both the environment and humans. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there is concern about the increase and constant use of chemical sanitizers like 75% alcohol and chlorine. People are looking for safer and more effective ways to stay virus-free — thus green cleaning businesses are seeing rapid growth in North America.

Starting a green cleaning company requires hiring a team that shares your values with regard to the use of eco-friendly cleaning products. Once your business is set up, you can start to receive orders through the phone, online, or a storefront. Competition in this sector is growing, but the market for green cleaning services is projected to keep growing and is estimated to be worth US$28 billion by the end of 2024.

How can you differentiate your green cleaning business from the competition? In this article, we will explain the benefits of using ozone sanitation methods for your green cleaning business, which can help you acquire a larger market share of this fast-growing sector.  

What Makes Ozone Different from Other Disinfectants? 

Ozone is a strong oxidant that acts as a natural sanitizer. Sanitization using ozone removes the need for dangerous chemical disinfectants and is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sanitization products. Ozone acts 3,000 times faster than chlorine and is 50 times more effective. After the sanitization process ozone simply reforms into oxygen molecules, without emitting any harmful by-products.

Using ozone water instead of other chemical disinfecting agents is a clear way to set your cleaning business apart. Ozone’s chemical symbol is O3, meaning this gas is a form of oxygen with three active molecules. The extra molecule in ozone gives it strong and eco-friendly disinfecting properties, making ozone an essential tool for any cleaning business claiming to be ‘green’.   

Ozonated water has been proven to kill pathogens and other forms of bacteria that even chlorine cannot kill. Moreover, ozonated water does not leave any chemical residue, making it safe for humans and the environment. Ozone mixed with water through electrolysis kills COVID-19 bacteria on floors, in the air, and on surfaces. There is abundant research supporting the use of ozone and its properties as a disinfection agent that eliminates harmful bacteria and viruses. 

Ozonated water has been found to remove the virus-host of COVID-19, as well as other viruses that persist in the air and on surfaces. These studies make a clear and urgent case for the use of ozonated water by green cleaning companies everywhere. 

What You Should Know Before Starting a Green Cleaning Company with Ozone

Unpleasant odors are one of the biggest problems that clients of green cleaning companies face. These malodors are often caused by bacteria that stick to surfaces. Applying ozonated water to surfaces can kill bacteria that cause these unwanted smells. 

Many traditional cleaning businesses are unaware of the potential of ozonated water as a disinfectant. This lack of knowledge means they are using mainstream chemical cleaning products that have harmful effects on humans over time. These chemicals are known to cause asthma and may contribute to some forms of cancer. Ozonated water eliminates the bacteria responsible for causing odors. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Ozone can be used in other ways as well: 

• Ozonated water effectively removes tobacco and smoke odor from surfaces where other cleaning agents fail.
• Electrolytic ozone generators that create ozonated water do not just mask odors – they eliminate them at the source. 
• Ozonated water shows results within minutes and disinfects surfaces by removing viruses, including COVID-19. 

Ozonated Water Can Be Used in Carpet Cleaning 

Carpet cleaning is one of the main tasks for cleaning companies, however, it can be challenging. Many cleaning companies rely on harsh chemicals to clean and disinfect rugs and carpets to ensure no stains or odors remain. Often, however, carpets are cleaned with chemical cleaning agents that can leave stains or even ruin a carpet’s soft texture. Pungent odors can remain in the customer’s home for hours or even days after chemical cleaning. 

Ozonated water is a superior alternative thanks to its reactive and oxidizing properties that don’t damage these delicate textures and surfaces. After use, ozonated water quickly converts into oxygen, which then evaporates. Ozonated water gives your green cleaning business a competitive edge and can push your company up in the rankings of green cleaning service providers. 

Finding the Right Equipment 

Genuine green cleaning requires proper cleaning equipment. If your business model revolves around ozonated cleaning treatments, you’ll need top-of-the-line electrolytic ozone generators. 

Electrolytic Ozone Generators (EOG) from BES Group/BioSure

An electrolytic ozone generator produces ozonated water by introducing a low voltage electric current into the water.  As ozone is made with water, all you need is an EOG, water, and electricity. When water goes through the EOG, it turns water into ozonated water. Electrolytic ozone generation technology is capable of producing a high concentration of ozonated water to eliminate bacteria, viral threats, and oxidize a number of other minerals, pollutants, and threats to our health. 

Using Ozone Spray Bottles 

An ozone spray bottle is relatively cheap and easy to transport. With the touch of a button, the Ozone Spray Bottle (OSB) from BioSure can create ozonated water to spray and disinfect any surface. With the wipe of a wet towel, you can disinfect surfaces and rid them of viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms. The OSB can also be used to clean carpets and surfaces that are hard to reach with chemical disinfectants. Make it a central part of your green cleaning business portfolio.  With the Space Sanitizer System Plus (SSS+) space and air sanitizer by BioSure, a green cleaning business can provide a new level of service. Simply place the unit in a room, switch it on and the unit releases misting ozone into the air. The misting ozone can eliminate bacteria, microbes, and viral threats in the air through the powerful oxidizing effects of ozonated water, but released into the air as a mist. It’s also safe for people. 

The Bottom Line 

There’s no better time than now to start a green cleaning company that uses ozone. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are searching for disinfectants that can effectively sanitize their homes and workplaces.  As ozone is a green solution, customers are open to implementing this new cleaning concept to their regular cleaning process at home and in their businesses.

Background

The Concord Golf Club is a golf club in Concord, New South Wales, Australia, a suburb of Sydney. It’s a premier golf club in Australia, having hosted the Women’s Australian Open in 2004, with the clubhouse designed by Thomas Pollard Sampson, a member, in 1921. Despite the pandemic, the Concord Golf Club has remained in business with new safety protocols in place designed to protect members and staff against the Covid-19 virus.

Problem

Confronted with restrictions on the use of shared equipment and a concern for the health and safety of the members, the golf club found the Covid-19 environment to be especially challenging to balance compliance with appropriate health guidelines and a desire to help members stay active. With a priority to look after the health of members, the club initially took a conservative position and withdrew all golf carts from use as they were not confident that they could appropriately clean them between hirings.

With the initial emphasis on personal hygiene including washing hands, one of their own members, Willis Kwok suggested that he could provide a natural-based cleaning solution for effective hand washing without the use of standard alcohol-based chemical cleaning agents. The suggested solution was to use an ozonated water dispenser at the halfway location to encourage members to wash their hands before, during (after 9 holes), and after their round of golf. The use of ozonated water, which acts as a strong oxidant, is extensively used as a fast-acting sanitizing agent in high-end restaurants and various health industry applications such as dental clinics and hospitals for killing bacteria and viruses. Having established the convenience and effectiveness of using the ozonated water dispensers for hand washing, the club asked if the ozonated water dispenser can clean hands, could it be also used to clean a golf cart?

Solution

Ozonated Water — Concord Golf Club found a unique solution to sanitizing golf carts to overcome Covid restrictions. After some further research, they have now installed a Water Disinfection System (WDS) ozonated water unit to sanitize the golf carts from top to bottom each morning before every use, resulting in re-introducing carts for use by members without risk of infection. Members were especially pleased that they were able to achieve the objective of “bug-free” carts without the use of harsh chemical-based products. The use of ozonated water, which naturally breaks down to normal water after approximately 20 minutes, makes it safe for application by staff and use by their members, as ozone (O3) naturally reverts to oxygen (O2) by releasing the singular oxygen molecules (activated oxygen).

From the Club’s perspective, they are now able to offer a cart service to their members and generate cart hire income, but more importantly, they are able to assist some members to stay active and to continue to play golf. In addition to enabling the obvious health benefits for members, and generating cart hire income, a more significant benefit has been the goodwill and the expected renewal of memberships of cart-based members.

The total number of Covid-19 cases is approaching 83 million worldwide. Until a vaccine is available, we will have to continue to vigorously wash our hands, keep social distancing, and wear masks. While we can do that when we are out and about, there are some settings where social distancing is unfeasible. And like it or not, sometimes we have to share the same surfaces and breathe the same air.

Offices, hotels, and vets require more than just regular hand washing to keep themselves and customers safe. They need a continuous disinfection system that can eliminate COVID-19. One that performs it’s job non-stop but is also harmless to us. Ozone mist does just that.

Ozone Mist: A Covid-19 Terminator

Ozone is proven to be an effective Covid-19 disinfectant in low concentrations. According to researchers at Fujita Health University, ozone in concentrations of 0.05 to 0.1 ppm can neutralize COVID-19 particles while remaining harmless to humans. Based on these results, researchers suggested that low concentration ozone can be applied to hospital settings, such as waiting and examination rooms.

Apart from its powerful disinfectant qualities, ozone is also a strong odor remover. Ozone reacts with odor molecules and, through oxidation, eliminates these odor molecules. As soon as this oxidation happens, the ozone transforms into pure water, leaving the air odor-free and chemical-free.

Benefits of Constant Ozone Disinfection

Continuous ozone mist disinfection can ensure that viral levels in the room are consistently minimized. The determining factor of whether a person falls sick from Covid-19 is the viral loads present in that person. That is the actual amount of Covid-19 virus in a person’s body. By minimizing environmental virus count, we can minimize the chance of contracting Covid-19. With ozone’s odor-removing qualities, misting continuously also ensures fresh air for optimal staff productivity and a better customer experience.

An Ideal System for a Safe and Fresh Environment

The BioSure Space Sanitizer System Plus (SSS+) is a disinfection machine and humidifier that uses patented electrolytic oxidation technology to produce a safe, moisturized ozone mist that keeps rooms well disinfected and odorless.

What Is Electrolytic Ozone?

Electrolytic ozone is a cutting-edge, patented technology that produces ozone from normal water without creating any by-products. This ozone is a strong disinfectant that kills 99.99% of harmful microorganisms, including COVID-19. During this process, toxic inorganic compounds are also eliminated by oxidation. Ozone from this process releases turns back into oxygen, resulting in sanitized water with inactive oxidized pathogens.

Chemical-Free and Safe

The Biosure SSS Plus provides low-concentration ozone that is harmless to humans. It is safe for toddlers as well as the elderly. It works by distributing this low-concentration ozone into the air in mist form, reaching all corners of a room and providing blanket disinfection for space. As an extra precaution, the system will also automatically shut down when people get too close.

In addition to these built-in safety designs, the Biosure SSS Plus runs solely on water and electricity. The ozone produced using this method releases no nitrogen oxides or any other chemical by-products. All of these advantages make the Biosure SSS Plus the safest, simplest, and most environmentally friendly way of sanitizing a room or space.

Better Air Quality, and a Better Experience

The Biosure SSS Plus ozone misting system is an all-round air quality improver. Other than disinfecting the room and keeping you safe during the global pandemic, it removes foul-smells and comes with a humidification function. Dry air is a known trigger for asthma and can cause skin dry skin and other skin problems. The BioLux system has a single button design that can solve these problems with a switch.

Ozone Mist is Effective and Efficient

The Biosure SSS Plus can effectively sanitize up to 150 square meters, the size of the average lobby or waiting area. The ozone produced by this system can remove bacteria and viruses at a rate 3000 times faster than chlorine. According to studies, ozone is effective at killing COVID-19 in especially humid environments, another reason the Biosure SSS Plus features a humidification function. While ozone freshens the air up, the machine humidifies the room, helping beef up the ozone mist’s potency. 

A Safe and Comfortable Space for Your Staff and Customers

A cleaner space means better health for employees and customers. Business owners have a responsibility to do their best to keep employees and customers safe during the pandemic. Keeping the workplace disinfected and staff healthy ensures business can run as usual.

Ozone for Offices

Offices are one of the most high-risk environments to catch COVID-19. An average office worker spends eight hours in the office in close contact with dozens of people. Office sick leave chains can easily start without a reliable and thorough sanitizing system to constantly disinfect the office. Implementing ozone mist in office meeting rooms and elevators can help ensure the health and productivity of employees. 

Ozone for Hotels

Ozone mist is a perfect solution for hotel sanitization in central kitchens, guest rooms, lobbies, and other areas where guests and staff congregate. With the Biosure SSS Plus, not only can ozone mist reduce the number of pathogens in your hotel rooms, but it also provides fresh and humidified air for guests. It also has a boost mode that produces a higher concentration of ozone mist. The boost mode allows for a deep cleanse after guests leave.

Ozone for Veterinary Clinics

Veterinary centers can significantly benefit from an odor-removing and humidifying disinfection system in their practices. The Biosure SSS Plus can pump out low concentration ozone mist continuously. The ozone dose is safe for vets, animals, and pet parents. Employing the system in veterinary centers can eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and odors that pets can be prone to spreading.

In the midst of a pandemic, extra precaution is needed when it comes to workplace cleanliness and sanitation. If one person falls sick, the whole business can be at risk. An effective ozone mist system could prevent this tragedy. The BioSure Space Sanitizer System is the best ozone mist distributor for the safest, easiest, and most efficient way to disinfect and freshen your environment.

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been adding new measures to stay safe and healthy. Disinfection methods are also needed to add a layer of protection against the virus. Professional sanitation companies are now playing a new role in fighting against the spread of the virus.

For business owners and professional service providers, this is a critical time to review and strengthen your sanitation and disinfection process for your commercial area or work establishments. Government officials and customers are watching carefully that prevention measures are meeting official standards. But more importantly, we have the responsibility to do our part to prevent viruses and diseases from spreading.  

Even before the pandemic started, a clean environment in retail establishments should always be a priority. Clean spaces feel welcoming and influence your business’s reputation while reducing the risks of getting your customers sick. Although more is known today than before about the risks of disinfection insufficiency, businesses still face challenges in maintaining good sanitation practices due to cost, time-consuming cleaning tasks, lack of staff training, and more. Therefore, company and establishment owners should continually search for a better solution for their professional sanitation.  

The Challenges of Chlorine-Based Sanitizing System

Chlorine comes to mind as an obvious disinfection agent. It’s one of the most commonly used disinfectants for water and equipment disinfection. While it is effective for the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms, chlorination has major drawbacks. 

Chlorine leaves chemical residues that customers and staff breathe in after a cleaning job. For restaurants, hospitality, and catering industries, for example, the use of chlorine-based sanitizing systems means guests are breathing in these residues in large numbers. Training and tasking employees on how to measure and mix proper proportions of chemical cleaning agents are critical too. If the chlorine mixture is too concentrated, the business’s clientele will breathe in higher amounts of the harmful residue. Over the long term, this means potential lawsuits by disgruntled employees and customers.

What Makes Ozone A Better Alternative

Ozone treatment is considered a safe and effective alternative for chemical disinfectants like chlorine. It is a much stronger oxidizer than chlorine and other common disinfectants such as hypochlorite. Compared with general chlorine disinfectants, the sanitation speed of ozone water (also known as ozonated water) is 3,000 times faster, and its disinfecting ability is 50 times stronger.

Ozone is also considered an environmentally friendly disinfectant. The whole process of disinfection does not produce any harmful residues, and all the residual ozone will be converted back to oxygen within a short time. 

Because of the above reasons, ozone has been widely used in a number of applications and industries, including medical, dental, bottling, and food sanitation industries, among others. It prevents decay and eliminates decomposition agents such as bacteria, yeast, and molds, and enhances food safety by reducing populations of foodborne pathogens, including E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus (SA), and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). 

Portable, On-Demand, and Chemical-Free Sanitizer 

Ozone cannot be stored because of the short half-life and must be produced on-site and on-demand. Therefore, an ozone generator is the most critical component of any successful ozone system. It can be integrated with the existing water supply, transforming the general tap water into high-concentration antibacterial disinfection water.

Moreover, in order to allow this effective disinfection method to be more widely used in different situations and needs, BioSure has also introduced a portable disinfector — the Ozone Spray Bottle. It works by simply filling the bottle with clean tap water. The device will instantly convert ordinary water into ozonated water more effective than chlorine with the push of a button

The Ozone Spray Bottle from BioSure is compact and light, with long-lasting rechargeable batteries, making it convenient to be carried from place to place. Yet it can also effectively convert tap water into powerful ozone water at high concentrations that can kill 99% of pathogens instantly, including E.coli, Salmonella, Listeria & MRSA, with no additional chemicals required. Further, tests from Nara Medical University in Japan, show that the ozonated water rapidly inactivated the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), making the ozone spray bottle an invaluable sanitation weapon against contaminants. 

How Industries Can Be Benefit From Ozone Spray

For foodservice industries, the Ozone Spray Bottle from BioSure can be used to disinfect the food contact surfaces by simply spraying the chemical-free ozone. It can also be used to sanitize the tabletops and kitchenware. It’s completely safe because ozone is 100% natural and leaves no residue after the reaction. 

For other public service institutions like nurseries, hospitals, and hospitality establishments, the Ozone Spray Bottle from BioSure is also a handy yet powerful tool for on-demand sanitation. Viruses, including Covid-19, mainly spread through droplet and contact transmission. Most often this happens through the hands after touching infected people and/or contaminated objects or surfaces. People’s hands can spread the virus to other surfaces or to their mouth, nose, or eyes if they touch them. 

Because of that, hand sanitation is extremely important especially in the area like hospitals and nurseries that crowd with people who have a higher risk to be infected by the virus. Being both portable and an on-site aqueous ozone generator, the Ozone Spray Bottle from BioSure is easy to take from room to room, supporting a wider range of disinfection operations.
