Ozone water for healthcare environments: clear routines

Ozone water for healthcare environments: calm and consistent surface cleaning

Healthcare teams need predictable cleaning routines that fit naturally into daily care tasks. Ozone water produced on site with an ozone water machine or ozone water device supports this by offering one practical solution for surface cleaning. Our ozone water from the ozone water machine is only intended for surface cleaning. It is not intended for consumption or medical applications.

This article is part of a broader blog series in the guide Ozone water versatility. Within this themed guide you will also find Ozone water for hospitality, Ozone water for retail & stores, Ozone water for sports & wellness and Ozone water for facility & cleaning teams.

Why ozone water suits healthcare workflows

Patient rooms, corridors and shared spaces contain many surfaces that are touched frequently throughout the day. Staff need to move quickly while still keeping control over what is cleaned when. When the focus shifts from selecting products to following a clear workflow, work pressure becomes more manageable.

Because ozone water is generated on site, there is no need to store large stocks of different products. A single bottle on the trolley, combined with a clear method, helps keep routines simple for permanent staff and temporary workers.

Typical surfaces in healthcare environments

• Bed rails, frames and bedside tables
• Wheelchairs, walkers and armrests
• Door handles, grab rails and light switches
• Closed parts of lifts and transfer aids
• Tables and furniture in shared living or waiting areas

By scheduling regular rounds, for example morning and late-afternoon rounds, each room receives the same attention without overloading the team.

The two-cloth method in healthcare

Spray onto the cloth for controlled application, or directly onto closed surfaces such as tables, floors or tiles. Workflow: two-cloth method — 1) Mist a light layer onto the surface. 2) Clean in overlapping strokes. 3) Dry immediately with cloth B for a streak-free result. Work from cleaner to less clean: touchpoints → furniture → wet areas.

For more healthcare-specific examples, see the dedicated guide on the Two-cloth method.

Costs and affordability

At only €0.0017 per litre – well below one fifth of a cent per litre and roughly one cent per full bucket – you generate cleaning water directly from the tap.

✔️ Fewer bottles and simpler stock management

✔️ Less plastic and storage space needed

✔️ Chemical-free surface cleaning of closed surfaces

✔️ Easy to explain to new staff

After around 1000 operating hours or 500,000 litres, basic maintenance is required, typically about €75 in parts.
