Cleaning with ozone water in offices and on desks

Cleaning with ozone water in offices

In offices, cleaning with ozone water is about repeatable routines. With an ozone water machine you produce cleaning water on site from ordinary tap water. The result is ozone water, water in which ozone is temporarily dissolved. You only use it for daily surface cleaning of closed surfaces such as desks, tables, chairs, floors and tiles – never for drinking or medical applications.

Part of a wider guide series

This office-focused guide is part of the wider series on cleaning with ozone water. The guide on affordable cleaning solution with ozone water explains the base product. The guide on cleaning on a budget with ozone water looks at organisation and cost. The guide why clean with ozone water covers the reasons. The main guide cleaning with ozone water ties it all together; this article zooms in on offices and desks.

Step 1: Map desks and workspaces

Start with a simple floor plan of your office area. Mark which desks, meeting tables and touchpoints (door handles, light switches) are cleaned with ozone water as standard.

• List closed, wipeable surfaces for each department.
• Decide which surfaces are part of every routine round.
• Document exceptions where a special product is still required.

Step 2: Use the two-cloth method on office surfaces

As in other areas, you work with the two-cloth method in offices. That keeps the workflow consistent across floors and buildings.

• Spray a light mist of ozone water onto the cloth or directly onto the desk, table or chair back.
• Clean in overlapping passes with cloth A to remove visible soil.
• Immediately dry with cloth B for a calm, streak-free finish.

The separate two-cloth method guide contains all steps as training material for new staff.

Step 3: Focus on touchpoints and routes

In office environments, touchpoints such as door handles, handrails and push buttons are important. You only use ozone water here for surface cleaning of closed surfaces.

• Include key touchpoints in every round.
• Define routes that run past desks, meeting rooms and sanitary areas.
• Use icons on trolleys to highlight ozone water routes.

Step 4: Agree on expectations with staff

Clear agreements with office staff make ozone water cleaning easier. Explain briefly what ozone water is and what they can do themselves, for example clearing desks before cleaning.

• Communicate that ozone water is used for surface cleaning, not for drinking.
• Ask staff to leave desks tidy on cleaning days.
• Clarify how personal items on desks are handled.

Step 5: Link to cost and stock

Office routes with ozone water fit well with a central stock setup. You work with one base product instead of several different bottled detergents per floor.

• One filling point serving several floors or wings.
• Fewer separate products on the trolley.
• Low, predictable cost per litre from the ozone water machine.

Safe use and clear boundaries

Ozone water is not a disinfectant or health product. It is a tool for everyday surface cleaning. Clear boundaries help staff use it safely.

• Use ozone water only on closed, wipeable surfaces.
• Never use it for drinking or medical applications.
• Always follow agreed procedures for filling, use and storage.

Cost and affordability

By including offices and desks in a fixed ozone water route, you combine low cost per litre with predictable cleaning rounds. You reduce the number of different products and keep better control over usage per department.

• Low cost per litre compared to bottled detergents.
• Less plastic packaging across office sites.
• Clearer view of cost per floor or team.
