Environment Benefits

OTEK deodorises the fabric.

Ozone is an effective deodoriser that works by breaking the molecular bonds of many organic and inorganic compounds which are usually the cause of odours that are found in or on soiled laundry. This is very much the case with laundry at hospitals and health care facilities which often house incontinent patients.

Cleaner Wastewater

Less water from fewer rinses means there is a big reduction in wastewater from the laundry. Fewer chemicals and cold water which contains more oxygen helps the microorganisms to do a better job breaking down pollutants and there

Ozone is a 100% green chemical

Ozone is a natural occurring gas and the OTEK ozone laundry system creates ozone in exactly the same way as in nature. Any unused ozone quickly reverts back to oxygen or dissolves in the water aiding microorganisms to breakdown pollutants.
