What is ozone water?

Ozone water is a liquid formed by dissolving ozone gas in ordinary water, resulting in a substance with powerful cleaning and disinfecting capabilities. It is often figuratively referred to as "active oxygen water" or a "green disinfectant."

Here is a detailed introduction to ozone water:

1. How is it made?

Gas dissolution: Ozone (O₃) in nature is a gas with a slightly grassy odor. Using a special machine (ozone generator), high-voltage electricity converts oxygen in the air into ozone. Then, similar to carbonating soda water, this gas is forcibly dissolved into water, creating ozone water.
Instant transformation: Ozone is very reactive in water; it eagerly releases its extra "oxygen atom," and this process is when it exerts its disinfecting power.

2. What are its "germ-killing tricks"?

Powerful oxidation: Ozone water eliminates bacteria and viruses in a very aggressive and effective way. It directly attacks the cell walls or protective membranes of microorganisms, "burning" them through.
Physical decomposition: It's not picky; whether it's bacteria, viruses, or mold, their structures are rapidly destroyed upon contact.
Odor removal and pesticide residue removal: Besides killing germs, it's also a master at removing odors. It can decompose pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables, and neutralize fishy smells in the kitchen or unpleasant odors in the bathroom.

3. Why is it considered "green"?

Zero chemical residue: This is the biggest advantage of ozone water. Ordinary chemical disinfectants may leave behind pungent odors or chemical residues after use, but ozone water quickly reverts back to ordinary oxygen and water after completing its task.
No rinsing required: Because it eventually turns back into water, apples or utensils washed with it theoretically don't need to be rinsed repeatedly with large amounts of clean water, making it very environmentally friendly.

4. What should be noted during use?

"Strike while the iron is hot": Ozone doesn't stay in water for long; if left for too long or at too high a temperature, it will escape and revert back to oxygen. Therefore, ozone water must be made and used immediately; if left for too long, it will become ordinary water. Avoid direct and prolonged inhalation: Although it is dissolved in water, a small amount of ozone may be released into the air during the production process. The strong grassy smell can cause discomfort in the nose and throat if inhaled excessively, so it's best to ensure good ventilation during use.
Material considerations: Although it is an excellent disinfectant, its oxidizing properties are very strong. Prolonged exposure to rubber or certain easily corroding metals may accelerate their aging.

5. Common Application Scenarios

Kitchen essential: Many families use it to wash vegetables and meat, as it both sterilizes and removes the unpleasant meaty odor.
Daily cleaning: It can be used as a substitute for sprays to wipe tables, mop floors, or sterilize baby bottles, providing a safe and chemical-free cleaning solution.
