Ozone water cleaning: routines and zones in one clear order

Ozone water cleaning: routines and zones in one clear order

This article is part of the blog series within the guide on ozone water cleaning for surface cleaning. It explains how to set up consistent cleaning rounds and zones so everyone on the team follows the same sequence and the work becomes predictable. Ozone water is used only for cleaning closed, hard surfaces and is not intended for consumption or medical applications.

Why work with fixed routines and zones?

Without a clear route, confusion appears quickly: one person starts with tables, another with floors and someone else only touches the most visible spots. By agreeing on routines and zones, you always work from cleaner to less clean areas and avoid going back with a cloth to a surface that was already finished. The main guide page on ozonwater schoonmaak links to this and other in-depth blogs within the same series.

A logical sequence: from touchpoints to wet zones

A common sequence for ozone water cleaning starts with frequently touched points, then moves to work surfaces, followed by floors and finally the wet zones. Typical touchpoints include door handles, buttons, light switches, handrails and control panels. Work surfaces include tables, desks, counters and checkouts. Once those zones are complete, you move on to corridors and floors and only then to wet rooms such as restrooms or changing rooms.

The role of the two-cloth method

Within each zone, the two-cloth method keeps the workflow consistent. Spray ozone water onto the cloth for controlled use, or directly onto closed surfaces such as tables, desks or tiles. Workflow: two-cloth method — 1) Mist a light layer onto the surface. 2) Clean in overlapping strokes with cloth A. 3) Dry immediately with cloth B for a streak-free result. For a step-by-step description you can consult the dedicated guide on the two-cloth method.

Room-based routines and scheduling

In hospitality environments you might start at touchpoints around the entrance and checkout, move along tables and worktops in the kitchen and end with floors and wet zones. In offices a round often starts with door handles and workstations, then meeting tables and corridors. In healthcare and facility settings, main traffic routes and frequently used contact surfaces are cleaned first, followed by living areas and restrooms. Not all zones require the same frequency: high-touch areas and work surfaces often need daily attention, while less-used spaces can be included in periodic rounds.

Costs and affordability

With an ozone water machine or ozone water device you produce cleaning water on site from tap water. Costs per litre are around €0.0017, so less than a fifth of a cent per litre and roughly one cent per full bucket. That means less plastic, fewer deliveries and predictable costs per round.
