Laundry Box — Ozone washing — Laundry Box Zagreb

Ozone washing (O₃) is a chemical-free laundry method that uses active oxygen instead of detergent additives. Ozone is roughly 3000 times more powerful as a disinfectant than chlorine according to EPA and WHO guidance. Our devices generate ozone on site and inject it into the wash water. The result is laundry that smells naturally fresh — fully disinfected, free of viruses, fungi and bacteria. Ideal for allergies, babies, and sensitive skin.

About ozone

Three atoms of oxygen doing real work.

Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive natural gas — sometimes called “active oxygen”. It’s used as a disinfectant and a natural odour eliminator. According to EPA and WHO guidance, ozone is roughly 3000 times more powerful than chlorine as a disinfectant.

Our devices generate ozone on site and inject it into the wash water before each cycle. The result: laundry that smells naturally fresh — fully disinfected, free of viruses, fungi and bacteria.

How ozone washing actually works

How ozone washing actually works

Four steps — the same way ozone disinfection works in a hospital laundry — only here, in central Zagreb, available to everyone.

01

Ozone generator

A device that converts part of the oxygen (O₂) into ozone (O₃). No chemicals. A natural disinfectant.

02

Injected into the water

Ozone dissolves into the water before it enters the drum, so every fibre meets active oxygen.

03

Breaks back down to oxygen

At the end of the cycle, ozone naturally decomposes back into O₂. The water that leaves the machine carries no chemical residue.

04

Result

Laundry free of viruses and bacteria, with a scent of freshness.

Comparison
