Ozone water in hospitality: daily surface cleaning made simple

 

Busy kitchens and front-of-house areas need a calm, repeatable cleaning routine. With ozone water you work with one type of cleaning water produced on site. You use it exclusively for surface cleaning on worktops, handles, tables, chillers and floors. Our ozone water from the ozone water machine is intended for surface cleaning only. Not intended for consumption or medical use.

 

How ozone water fits into daily hospitality routines

 

Instead of switching between many products, your team uses one clear base: ozone water. Staff fill a spray bottle or bucket with freshly made ozone water and follow the same steps every shift. This makes training easier and reduces doubt about which product to choose for each surface.

 

Spray onto the cloth for controlled application, or directly onto closed surfaces such as tables, counters or tiles. Workflow: two-cloth method — 1) Spray a light mist on the surface. 2) Wipe in overlapping strokes with cloth A. 3) Dry immediately with cloth B for a streak-free result. Always move from cleaner to less clean areas: contact points, then furniture and equipment, finishing with floors and wet areas.

 

  • Use ozone water only on hard, closed surfaces
  • Replace cloths in time so that soil is not spread further
  • Combine the two-cloth method with short, fixed walking routes

Why choose ozone water in hospitality

 

✔️ Fewer product types and simpler instructions for your team.

✔️ Cleaning water produced on site, without stock management or storage of multiple chemicals.

✔️ A calmer workflow because everyone uses the same clear routine.

 

Using ozone water is cost-saving because you make cleaning water from tap water. You reduce the number of products, cut plastic packaging and lower transport and storage needs. At the same time you keep the focus firmly on surface cleaning and clear instructions.

 

Costs and affordability

 

At roughly €0.0017 per litre, well below a fifth of a eurocent per litre and about one cent per full bucket, you produce your own cleaning water from tap water. This makes it easier to calculate and compare cleaning costs per area or location.

 

  • No expensive bottles or extra logistics for cleaning products
  • Less plastic and storage space needed in kitchen and stockroom
  • Chemical-free cleaning of hard surfaces
  • Simple operation for kitchen and cleaning staff
  • After around 1,000 hours or 500,000 litres the unit needs maintenance, typically about €75 in parts
