Budget cleaning with one base product and ozone water
Discover how one central ozone water solution lets you clean on a budget without cupboards full of separate cleaning products.

Learn how an ozone water machine supports budget cleaning with one base product, reduces plastic waste and simplifies daily surface cleaning routines.
Budget cleaning with a single base product
Budget cleaning with one base product
Many organisations want to reduce cleaning costs without complicating daily surface hygiene. With an ozone water machine you turn ordinary tap water into one base product: ozone water. You use it only for surface cleaning of closed surfaces such as tables, floors and tiles – never for drinking or medical purposes.
Part of the budget cleaning blog series
This article is part of a blog series on cleaning on a budget with ozone water. In the guide on affordable cleaning solution with ozone water you learn how the base product works; here the focus is on practical organisation, stock and daily routines.
From a full cupboard to one central solution
Without a central solution every area often ends up with its own mix of products and bottles. That costs money, time and attention. An ozone water machine lets you work with one base product that can be used across several locations.
- One central tap or fill point for spray bottles and buckets.
- The same two-cloth method in every room.
- Less stock and fewer leftovers on the shelves.
- Very low cost per litre of cleaning water.
Workflow for budget-friendly cleaning
The core of budget cleaning is a repeatable workflow everyone can follow. Use simple steps so staff do not need to decide which product or dose is required each time.
- Fill spray bottles or buckets with ozone water from the machine.
- Spray onto the cloth or directly onto the closed surface.
- Clean with cloth A and dry immediately with cloth B.
- Work from cleaner to less clean areas within each room.
You can find a detailed description of the routine in the dedicated two-cloth method guide, which also works well as training material for new team members.
Cost overview: one base product, many locations
Because you mainly use tap water and a small amount of energy, the cost per litre of cleaning water stays extremely low. At roughly €0.0017 per litre – around one cent per full bucket – you produce your own cleaning water on site. The main investment is the ozone water machine and periodic maintenance, typically after about 1000 hours or 500,000 litres.
- Fewer different products to purchase.
- Less plastic packaging and transport.
- Clearer stock management across sites.
- One uniform workflow for the whole team.
Always use ozone water only for surface cleaning and never for consumption or medical purposes. When in doubt, check the product details in the ozone water guide.
