ozone laundering fully eliminates C. difficile where high-heat washing leaves 150,000+ viable counts
Conventional thermal laundering at 71°C for 60 minutes failed to eliminate C. difficile from microfibre mops and cloths, with counts exceeding 150,000 TVC remaining post-wash, whereas ozone laundering achieved complete eradication.
What this means for you
C. difficile is one of the most stubborn and dangerous microorganisms in shared environments — and standard hot-water washing doesn't fully remove it. Ozone's ability to achieve complete eradication where heat alone fails points to a meaningfully stronger level of microbial control, which matters anywhere surface hygiene directly affects your wellbeing.
