Applications of Ozone for Domestic Use

Ozone has varied applications and diverse uses.

But when it comes to home application, Ozone has several options to be inserted in our domestic use, cleaning, hygiene, consumption, oils, gels, cooking, etc.

Curious about in how many ways can you use Ozone at your own house? Just scroll down to find out!

Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidants and it can be used in any case where an effective oxidizing action is required on natural, organic, inorganic, mineral, biological, gaseous, liquid or solid substances: disinfection, pollutants removal with biodegradability increase, discoloration, reduction in toxicity, degradation of specific compounds (from water, air, surface…), conversion and purification of products, therapy purpose and much more applications.

At home there are numerous applications where we can use ozone, drastically reducing the consumption of chemicals and gaining numerous health and wellness benefits.

Applications at Home

► Drinking Water

Water ozonization allows the water purification, killing bacteria and virus, without adding any chemicals. Water ozonization does not change the water pH.
Drinking ozonated water will improve health, reduces inflammations, fights cancer, detoxes the body, improves digestion, and much more.
Drinking ozonated water daily is a source of health and well-being, that will detoxify your body thus helping to create body defenses and fighting diseases.

► Food Preparation

Ozone has been used over time in food preparation and preservation (preservative in refrigerated meats and preventing yeast growth in fruit).
Ozone is known as a broad spectrum biocide against viruses, bacteria, biofilms, fungi and protozoa – none of which can create a tolerance to ozone because ozone disinfects by oxidation processes.
The use of ozonated water to wash, prepare and cook food will help to eliminate the spread of bacteria and fungi, thus, will make your life much healthier.

► Sterilization

Water ozonization allows the water purification, killing bacteria and virus, without adding any chemicals.
Using ozonized water to sterilize accessories such as baby bottles, pacifiers, bottles, among others, it becomes a more efficient, practical and safe process.
Washing and disinfecting (sterilizing) wounds or infected areas is also one of the benefits of using ozonated water. Ozonated water will reduce inflammation, and disinfect safely.

► Air Purification

Although it is not recommended to breathe the ozone gas in high concentrations and for long periods, ozone guarantees safe and 100% natural air purification, provided that the recommendations are respected.
Ozone will eliminate the viruses and bacteria present in the air responsible for transmitting diseases and bad odors, thus allowing healthier air and free of the so common bacteria and viruses, without resorting to chemicals, with a domestic ozone machine being the ideal solution to your home.

► Washing Machine

Residual detergent that remains in fabrics may cause health-related concerns as irritation and allergy. Ozone used in laundry will kill microorganisms found in dirty laundry and does so approximately 3,000 times faster than bleach.
The use of ozone in washing machines allows a drastic reduction in the use of hot water, as well as the amount of cleaning chemicals used, giving rise to whiter, softer, sanitized, fresher and longer-lasting clothes, resulting in huge savings both in cleaning products and in the consumption of hot water.

► Pet’s Odor

Even loving pets, many people cannot live with the odors they generate at home, and these kind of odors penetrate furniture, carpets, bedding, and even cling to walls and ceilings. Treating your home with ozone is very effective to remove odors from pets because it attacks these odors at their source.
When ozone circulates throughout the facility, it oxidizes pet odors wherever it is in contact with them, as it is a very active molecule that will follow the odors of animals, eradicating odors from carpets, cabinets, furniture and upholstered and even inside air conditioning ducts.

► Remove Smoke

The cigarette stench remains for a long time after the smoke has disappeared because it penetrates tissues, water-based paint and other materials. Ozone treatments are one of the best tools to remove odor caused by smoke damage.
A domestic Ozone system removes odors by chemically altering the structure of the molecules in the smoke that is creating the smell. The extra oxygen atom binds to other molecules to create a new molecule that is non-offensive – and not smelly – in a process called oxidation. As a gas, ozone can be cleaned wherever air can flow.

► Bad Odors

Adults can distinguish up to 10,000 different smells. There are some terrible smells out there and there are many ways to remove them.
Ozone removes all sorts of odors, it can remove curry smells, stinky smells, smoke smells and can even be used for mold and mildew removal . Bacteria are what cause those offensive odors you might smell around your home.
A domestic Ozone generator removes odor by destroying the molecules, bacteria, and spores that cause bad odors.

► … And Much More

Ozone has a half-life of only a few minutes, so after it has its purified action, any remaining molecules break down into standard oxygen, that creates an environment that is highly oxygenated.
Improving air quality, ozonating water, oils or daily products, you will be able to improve your health and well-being naturally, reducing the chemical use.
Understanding the properties of ozone and respecting the safety conditions, there are numerous uses that can be made for domestic ozone.
