No Detergent (Most Loads)
Everyday laundry comes out clean and fresh with ozone alone; use a small dose only for heavy soil.
No residue. Softer fabrics. Happier skin.
CleanStart • Cold-Water Ozone
Do Laundry Without Detergent AND Zero Chemicals
CleanStart infuses your washer’s cold water with activated oxygen (ozone) to clean, disinfect, and deodorize fabrics—no perfumes or residue. Installed and supported by Pure H2O of Ohio.
Cold-Water Cleaning
Ozone is most effective in cold water—get hot-water performance without the energy spend.
Save on gas/electric every load.
Disinfects & Deodorizes
Activated oxygen breaks down odors and destroys bacteria/viruses—no fragrances needed.
Clothes & machine stay truly fresh.
1) Generates Ozone (O₃)
Inside the unit, oxygen (O₂) is converted to ozone (O₃)—no chemicals or refills.
2) Infuses Cold Water
Ozone mixes into the cold water line, staying active long enough to clean deeply.
3) Oxidizes & Reverts to O₂
Ozone breaks down soils and microbes, then safely reverts back to oxygen—no residues.
Detergent vs. Ozone Cleaning
Everyday loads work great with ozone only; add a small detergent dose for heavy/greasy soils.
| Feature | CleanStart® Ozone | Traditional Detergent |
|---|---|---|
| Water Temp | Cold (energy-saving) | Warm/Hot (higher cost) |
| Residue on Fabrics | None—reverts to oxygen | Common—surfactant film |
| Odor Removal | Oxidizes odors at the source | Often masks with perfume |
| Skin Sensitivity | No dyes/perfumes | Potential irritants |
| Machine Hygiene | Keeps washer fresher | Buildup over time |
| Ongoing Cost | Detergent savings monthly | Recurring spend |
Note: For shop rags or grease-heavy items, use a reduced detergent dose.
CleanStart® FAQs
Do I really not need detergent?
For most everyday loads, yes—no detergent needed. For heavy/greasy soils, add a small fraction.
What water temperature should I use?
Always use cold (or “tap cold”). Warm/hot water reduces ozone’s cleaning power.
Is it safe for my washer and fabrics?
Yes—works with most top- and front-load washers and leaves no chemical residues.
Does it remove odors?
Yes—ozone oxidizes odor-causing compounds, so laundry smells truly fresh.
What about maintenance?
Automatic, no consumables. We recommend an annual check during your regular service visit.
Who installs and supports it?
Pure H2O of Ohio—professional installation and support in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton.
