Many people believe you need hot water, lots of detergent, and long wash times to properly clean your laundry. And once upon a time, that was true. But over the years, there have been big advances in laundry technology — including the development of ozone laundry systems. Ozone wash is a revolutionary laundering process that uses a powerful oxidizing gas called ozone. Ozone laundry systems create ozone by combining oxygen and electricity. The ozone is then dissolved in the washing water. When the ozone water comes into contact with organic materials in your laundry, it destroys (or “oxidizes”) them. That includes bacteria, viruses, mold, or other microorganisms. Ozone also breaks up many inorganic materials, including soils and greases. This makes it easier for water to remove these contaminants from your laundry and wash them away.
