Ozone water in kitchens & foodservice

In commercial and institutional kitchens, short cleaning moments must fit between prep steps and service. Ozone water is generated on site by an ozone water machine and applied directly to closed, water‑resistant surfaces.

 

Typical use areas

Stainless steel benches, tiles, handles, cold‑room doors and equipment housings. Because no residue remains, cleaning fits naturally into frequent, short rounds.

 

  • ✔ Stainless steel worktops and tables

  • ✔ Handles, pulls and switches

  • ✔ Tiled walls and sealed prep tables

  • ✔ Cold‑room doors and equipment housings

 

Safe workflow (BPR‑compliant)

For controlled application, spray onto the cloth first or directly onto closed surfaces (tables, floors, tiles). Two‑cloth method: 1) Lightly mist the surface. 2) Wipe in overlapping passes. 3) Dry immediately with Cloth B for a streak‑free finish. Work from contact points → worktops → wet areas.
