Ozone water machine in practice: routines and training

Ozone water machine in practice: routines and training

This guide contains a complete blog series on ozone water machines and ozone water devices for surface cleaning. This article is part of the blog series within this guide and focuses on how to embed an ozone water machine or ozone water device into daily cleaning routines. Ozone water from the machine is used strictly for cleaning surfaces and is not intended for consumption or medical applications.

Use ozone water only on closed surfaces such as tables, worktops, doors, touchpoints, counters and floors. Avoid open food and sensitive materials, and always follow the defined work instructions. That keeps the process predictable, controllable and compliant.

Which tasks belong in the ozone water workflow?

Start with a clear overview of tasks you perform with the ozone water machine and tasks you handle with other products. Tables, desks, kitchen worktops, counters, door handles and floors are typical surfaces for ozone water. Textiles, delicate materials and open food do not belong in this workflow. By stating this upfront, the team understands where the boundaries are.

• Define which surfaces you clean with ozone water.
• Avoid open food and sensitive materials in the workflow.
• Document which zones are deliberately cleaned with other methods.

Keep the daily instruction short and refer staff to background information when needed. They can read more general information on What is ozone water? or more technical details on the page Ozone water machine. That way the routine stays compact while deeper guidance is always available.

Daily cleaning rounds with an ozone water machine or device

Choose fixed times during the day when the ozone water machine or ozone water machine is used. Many organisations work with a start-of-day round, interim rounds and an evening round. During these periods the machine produces cleaning water on demand for surface cleaning, removing the need to prefill bottles or canisters and reducing storage requirements.

• Plan fixed time slots for rounds (for example morning, midday and end of shift).
• Assign which rooms and surfaces are included in each round.
• Appoint someone responsible per round to check that tasks are completed.

Summarise the rounds in a short work instruction or checklist. Refer to related articles in this guide, such as the blog on capacity and LPM or the article on maintenance and service. The main guide for selecting a system can be found at Guide: buy an ozone water machine.

Staff training: two-cloth method and machine handling

New staff learn best when the explanation is limited to a few recognisable steps. Show where the ozone water machine or ozone water device is located, how to switch it on safely and how to select the desired setting. Then practise the workflow together on a small number of surfaces so the steps become familiar.

• Demonstrate how to switch on the ozone water machine and let it start up.
• Discuss the required safety steps and correct order of tasks.
• Practise the two-cloth method on a simple, clearly visible surface.

The workflow itself remains the same: spray onto the cloth for controlled application or directly onto closed surfaces, clean in overlapping passes and dry immediately with a second cloth. A more detailed description is available in the guide to the Two-cloth method. Linking training to this guide keeps the explanation consistent for future team members.

Checklists, controls and feedback on the floor

Checklists make it easier to embed routines with ozone water. A single-page checklist can record the order of surfaces, the times when the ozone water machine is used and key control points. Every team member can tick off what has been done so it is clear whether a round has been completed.

• Create a short checklist that covers preparation through to shutdown.
• Include fixed control points such as rinsing and hose inspection.
• Schedule periodic joint walkthroughs to discuss improvements.

Use feedback from staff to adjust the routine. If a particular area is regularly skipped or a step is unclear, update the checklist. Supporting blogs in this guide, such as the articles on installation, maintenance and per-liter costs, provide additional explanation so the team understands why each step matters.

Ozone water machine in practice: linking to other articles

This blog is one of several in a series of in-depth articles within our guide about ozone water machines for surface cleaning. For a complete picture, combine this practical routine with other topics such as selecting capacity, technical installation and maintenance of the ozone water machine.

• Guide: buy an ozone water machine
• Overview of all guides and blog series articles
• Technical explanation of the ozone water machine

By dedicating a separate in-depth blog to each topic, you create a blog series within the same guide: selection, capacity, installation, maintenance, per-liter costs and practical implementation. This makes it easy to build an internal instruction set per site.

Costs and affordability in daily use

The per-liter cost of ozone water is low because the ozone water machine produces cleaning water from tap water. Indicative costs are around €0.0017 per liter, roughly one cent per full bucket. Fewer bottles are needed, less storage space is used, and fewer transport movements are required. After extended use, schedule preventive maintenance and a limited set of parts, for example around 1000 run hours or 500,000 litres.

By combining cost figures and practical deployment in a single overview, you can explain why surface cleaning with ozone water is a logical part of the routine. Place alternatives next to it, such as the number of bottles you would otherwise use or the storage space that now becomes available.
