In the modern day, bleach and conventional detergents are far from the only methods at your disposal, as operator of a laundromat, to offer high-powered disinfection to your clients.
But what if – by offering additional disinfection power – you were also enhancing your system’s energy efficiency and preserving your clients’ garments?
There is a way – and it’s through an ozone laundry system that it comes about.
Here are all the benefits of an ozone laundry system like WashOzone.
What Are the Benefits of an Ozone Laundry System?
Unlike conventional detergents like bleach, an ozone laundry system like WashOzone utilizes ozone, an allotrope of oxygen that is highly toxic to microbes and viruses, to clean garments.
As a result, it offers the following benefits:
- Powerful, effective disinfection of clothing, even under fairly heavy soil loads. Ozone effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic pathogens. Ozone can even be effective at killing mold and fungi. It is also effective at breaking up organic soil and grease.
- Because ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent, it can effectively remove odors from garments as well, effectively restoring freshness.
- Ozone laundry systems are gentler on garments. Detergent, bleach, and even fabric softener all incur chemical wear on textiles that will decrease their usable lifespans. Ozone is much less harmful.
- Ozone is better for your industrial washing machines, too. Since it can kill mold and mildew, it can eliminate those unpleasant, dank odors that sometimes linger in washing machines, especially those that undergo heavy load cycles.
- Ozone can be more effectively used with cool and even cold water, saving significantly not only on utilities and energy costs, but also on time. In fact, an ozone system can decrease time in both the washer and dryer by up to 20%
- Since ozone laundry systems can be used with cold water and do not involve the use of harsh chemicals, they are better for the environment.
- This efficiency results in quicker load cycles, so you can turnover customers more quickly and efficiently, bringing about more effective, profitable workflows.
- Linens cleaned with ozone may be brighter, cleaner, and even whiter than those cleaned with chemical cleaners.
- Ozone laundry systems like WashOzone are compact and easy to install in settings in which there is limited space.
- The use of ozone (through an approved system) is safe and does not produce any harsh chemical byproducts. In fact, ozone decays into atmospheric free oxygen.
- Because of all of these efficiencies, the use of an ozone laundry system can bring about a quicker return on investment than other potential technologies into which your laundromat might invest.
All in all, ozone laundry systems, when properly researched, installed, and deployed, can bring about significant operational efficiencies and savings, and can turn around cycles faster. Moreover, they are highly effective at disinfecting and cleaning garments, use fewer harsh chemicals, and can deliver a better use experience.
With that said, the initial investment in an ozone system can potentially be steep, meaning they might only make sense for some business models. Ultimately, whether one is right for you will depend on other factors, too, so it behooves you to look more closely into the matter.
