Ozone Infused Washers
We have equipped our laundromat with a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly San-O3-Wash Ozone System by Aquawing similar to what hospitals use. We’ve made this service FREE to all self service customers, wash and fold customers, commercial laundry accounts and pickup and delivery customers.
Ozone Benefits:
- Environmentally friendly by reducing use of water, electricity, and natural gas
- Destroys 99% of bacteria and viruses
- Sanitizes machines with each wash
- Eliminates odors and mold & mildew
- Leaves clothes softer, brighter, and extends their life
- Shorter wash & dry times and less detergent needed = cost savings to you and less jugs of laundry detergent in our landfills!
What is ozone?
Ozone (O3) results from a high electrical voltage or ultraviolet light being passed through oxygen (O2) molecules. It's the addition of the third oxygen atom in ozone that produces a powerful cleaning agent. The most effective way to create ozone for laundry applications is to use corona discharge, a method that passes dried, oxygen containing gas through an electrical field. The electrical current causes the oxygen molecules to split. Corona discharge is more effective than using ultraviolet light because ultraviolet light is incapable of producing ozone in sufficient quantities to overcome the oxidation demand of the soiled linen and can leave residuals like the super bug, MRSA. During a wash cycle, that third oxygen atom attaches to and breaks down organic materials like soils, bacteria, molds and greases. Once broken down, these materials are easily removed from fabric by detergent in the wash cycle. Ozone works best in cold water and can drastically reduce a laundry's need for hot water—cutting the workload and gas/electric/oil consumption of water heaters while conserving water. Since ozone leaves only oxygen behind, it's also environmentally friendly.
