If addition of ozone in hotel & commercial laundry can help the entrepreneurs cut cost by saving on energy expenditure and water consumption, it also has beneficial effects on the environment and health of laundry workers
With disinfecting properties of ozone and its resource conservation benefits coming to light, the use of this gas in commercial and industrial laundries gained popularity in the last decade of the last century. It has emerged that use of ozone can help save a lot of energy in laundry. With the addition of ozone to commercial laundries, it is possible to effectively wash clothes in cold water, thereby saving a lot of energy spent in heating water.
The process can also curb the usage of washing detergent and water as ozone enhances the wash process and reduces wash cycles, leading to faster completion of wash loads. What is more, the gentler ozone water cycles can also help extend linen life by up to 25 percent. Cut in usage of chemicals harmful to clothes and reduction is rinse and dryer cycles also work to extend fabric life. It has also been claimed that ozone-wash water has superior disinfecting properties, killing viruses in just 5-6 minutes.
These are some of the benefits that ozone washing provides the laundry entrepreneurs and helps them cut cost. Many even claim that ozone washing is beneficial to the environment and also the operators who are at risk of exposure to many hazardous chemicals in conventional laundry.
Studies have concluded that ozone laundering reduces the amount of laundry chemicals discharged to waste and upon ozonisation soils become more biodegradable. And as it cubs the usage and storage of laundering chemicals, the laundry workers may feel safer. However, it deserves here a mention that too much exposure to ozone can also be bad for health, especially as it can affect the respiratory system.
But because of its powerful disinfecting properties, ozone-washing could be ideal in hospital laundries as it can curb hospital acquired infection in patients by killing or making inactive harmful microorganism found in many soiled textiles.
