Yes. But it also depends on your washing machine and how much water you use. If your washing machine is a new one with reduced water restrictions, it will often not work as well as an older top loader that can use enough water to submerge diapers and agitate them.

Feedback from our users is that ozone laundry destroys ammonia odor and leaves the diaper smelling fresh. The use of ozone avoids the use of laundry detergent, which can significantly reduce the likelihood of diaper rashes.

Ozone laundry systems make washing easier by combining ozone with organic pollutants on clothing. As a result, the fibers in clothing will suffer less damage than if they were used with chemical detergents. With chemical detergents, you'll see more lint, which means more damage to the clothing.
Why can ozone shorten the drying time of clothes?
There are several theories for the reason why this happens. One theory is that ozone leaves less compounds on clothing, causing more water retention. Another opinion is that the probability of occurrence of abrasion issues in the cold water wash is lower. It has also been believed that ozone can reduce the drying time because it has a Brownian effect on water tension.
Since there is ozone cold water laundry, is hot water still necessary?
For washing things like sheets and towels, it is okay to use cold water. However, hot water will be a necessity for washing items such as rags. This is because rags often contain a certain amount of grease and oils. They will not be affected when washed with cold water, and can only be melted when the water reach a certain level of temperature.

The mixer window of the ozone laundry system shows the position of the static mixer. Through this window, you can see bubbles and water flow. There will be a blue backlight while the system is working.
Will the ozone laundry system release ozone to into the air?
Ozone laundry systems work by generating ozone and dissolving it into water. Unlike an ozone generator that is used for disinfection and odor removal, they do not produce ozone with its concentration high enough to be harmful to human respiratory system. You may smell ozone while it is working. This is normal and indicates that the system is working normally. Once the laundry process is over, the ozone smell will dissipate as the clothes dry. If you have a front load washing machine, you probably won't smell ozone at all. Because it has a waterproof seal that can prevent the potential leakage.
I can smell the ozone when the system is working. Is it bad for me?
No. You may smell some ozone while the system is working. But the ozone laundry system produces ozone at a very low concentration that are not harmful to the respiratory systems of humans or pets. You can also notice a residual ozone smell in freshly washed clothes. It will dissipate very quickly.
How can the system reduce pollution?
Ozone laundry eliminates the need for chemical detergents, so that they will not enter the groundwater system. Ozone laundry also reduces the need for hot water and thus reducing the environmental pollution problems caused by burning natural gas, coal, etc. Ozone laundry also avoids the wearing and tearing that traditional laundry does on clothing fibers, which can reduce their removal from clothing and into nearby aquatic environments. This avoids microfiber pollution. In the United States alone, using ozone can prevent the disposal of hundreds of millions of plastic laundry jugs each year.
Does ozone harm washing machines?
Gas-phase ozone is more corrosive than ozone dissolved in water. Some systems directly injects ozone gas into the washing machine, thus causing damage to the washing machine. In the past many years, there has been no known case of ozone dissolved in water causing damage to any washing machines.
How can money be saved by using the system?

What is the difference between a direct ozone system and an indirect ozone system?
A direct ozone system mixes the gas ozone into the washing machine through a bubbling method. This kind of system can be very effective for small washing machines. But as the size of the washing machine increases, applying the right level of ozone will become more and more difficult. In an indirect ozone system, which means a dissolved ozone system, ozone gas will be dissolved in the water before the water enters the washing machine. The advantage of this method is that a proper operation of the system and an appropriate level of ozone can be ensured. It can be used to provide convenience for both small and large washing machines.
Will ozone laundry cause any danger?
All chemicals used in laundry can be dangerous to the human body. Ozone is also no exception. Ozone is a strong oxidant with strong corrosion.
