DIY ozone water for businesses: practical guide

DIY ozone water in your business: how to get started

Producing your own ozone water gives your business more control over cleaning routines, costs and stock. You generate cleaning water on demand, directly from the tap, using an ozone water machine. Always remember: ozone water is strictly for surface cleaning and must never be used for consumption or medical purposes.

✔️ Fewer different cleaning products needed

✔️ Less storage and internal transport

✔️ Clear, repeatable workflow for every team

Step 1: choose the right ozone water machine

Start by estimating the daily volume in litres and the total floor area you want to maintain. Based on this you select an ozone water machine with suitable capacity. Check whether you need a fixed installation or a mobile unit, and whether several tap points have to be supplied.

Ask your supplier about support, training and maintenance. A partner who thinks along about workflow and implementation will help you integrate ozone water smoothly into existing cleaning routines.

Step 2: design the workflow with the two-cloth method

The core workflow is simple and repeatable. Spray onto the cloth for controlled application, or directly onto closed surfaces such as tables, floors or tiles. Workflow: two-cloth method — 1) apply a light mist to the surface, 2) clean in overlapping strokes, 3) dry immediately with cloth B for a streak-free result.

Always work from cleaner to less clean areas: touch points and desks first, then furniture and finally wet rooms such as sanitary areas. A detailed explanation is given in the guide Two-cloth method.

Costs and affordability

You can produce cleaning water for around €0.0017 per litre, directly from the tap.

• Lower spend on bottles and concentrates

• Less storage space and internal logistics

• No separate rinse products for surface cleaning

• Standardised workflow for all teams

• After about 1,000 hours or 500,000 litres, electrode maintenance is required, typically around €75 in parts

Training and embedding in the team

Schedule a short training for all staff who will work with ozone water. Show how to fill the machine, tap safely and apply the two-cloth method in practice. Repeat the core message: ozone water is for surface cleaning only, not for consumption or medical use.

Document the workflow in a simple procedure with clear icons. New colleagues can onboard quickly without compromising cleaning quality.

Maintenance and checks

Plan a fixed maintenance moment, for example annually, to have the ozone water machine and electrodes inspected. This keeps ozone water production reliable and helps prevent unplanned downtime. Combine this with a short check of tap points, hoses and shut-off valves.

Why choose ozone water

✔️ Fewer bottles and product types in storage

✔️ Simple, repeatable procedures across all sites

✔️ Cost-effective because cleaning water is produced on demand
