Ozone Treatment for Commercial Cleaning in Bristol. Keeping your workplace safe and spotless is essential. For offices and commercial spaces across Bristol, ozone treatment offers a deep, residue-free disinfection step that reaches the places wipes miss and neutralises odours without harsh chemicals. Because ozone must be used in unoccupied areas and handled correctly, it’s precisely the kind of service that should be delivered by a certified, experienced provider like Magic Broom.
How does the Ozone Treatment Work?
A gas-phase add-on to routine cleaning
Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidising gas that inactivates bacteria, viruses and mould spores on exposed surfaces and in the air. In a controlled cycle, a professional generator saturates a sealed room; after treatment, ozone naturally reverts to oxygen (O₂), leaving no chemical residue.
Ozone Treatment for Commercial Cleaning
Ozone is not used while people are present – and that’s why choosing Magic Broom matters. Our trained operatives handle risk assessment, sealing, timed cycles, ventilation and safe re-entry verification, so your team returns to a fresh, sanitised space with minimal downtime.

When to Use Ozone Treatment in a Workplace?
Best-use scenarios
- Post-Illness Decontamination: If your workplace has had a case of a contagious illness (such as a stomach bug, flu, or COVID-19), ozone fumigation can thoroughly disinfect the area after standard cleaning. The gas will permeate the space and inactivate lingering viruses or bacteria in the air and on surfaces, providing extra assurance beyond normal cleaning.
- Periodic Preventive Disinfection: Some facilities managers schedule ozone treatments periodically (e.g. monthly or quarterly) as part of a deep cleaning program. It’s a way to reduce microbial load in the environment and improve hygiene, especially in high-traffic areas like conference rooms, kitchens, and washrooms. Ozone complements routine surface cleaning by reaching areas that might be overlooked and sanitising fabrics, carpets, and ventilation ducts that are hard to manually disinfect.
- Odour Removal: Ozone is well-known for its odour-neutralising ability. It oxidises odour-causing compounds in the air. Offices that suffer from persistent smells – for example, food odours in break areas or musty smells – can use ozone treatment to deodorise the space. In fact, low-level ozone generators have long been used to improve air quality in offices and act as odour suppressors in hotels and commercial kitchens. A one-off high-concentration ozone shock treatment can eliminate stubborn odours and leave the space smelling fresh (ozone itself has a distinctive “after thunderstorm” scent, but that dissipates with ventilation).
- Mould and Allergen Control: Because ozone gas kills mould spores and dust mite microbes, it can be useful after water damage or in damp areas of an office to help control mould growth (after physical cleaning of any visible mould). It can also reduce allergens by neutralising organic particulates. (Note: any porous materials heavily infested with mould usually need removal; ozone is a supplementary measure, not a standalone fix for active mould colonies.)
- Minimising Chemical Use: Facility managers aiming for green or eco-conscious cleaning practices might choose ozone disinfection to reduce reliance on chemical disinfectants. Ozone allows disinfection without chemical residues or storage of hazardous chemicals, which can be attractive for green building certifications or to improve indoor air quality after cleaning. It simply uses the oxygen in the air, and after doing its job, converts back to oxygen with no pollution.
Ozone vs fogging & sprays
- Residue: ozone breaks back to oxygen; some fogging chemistries may leave films that need wiping down.
- Reach: gas disperses uniformly; droplets are line-of-sight.
- Moisture: ozone is a dry process (kinder to paperwork/electronics than wet mists).
- Occupied use: neither method is used around people; both require planned re-entry windows.
Is Ozone Cleaning Safe in a Commercial Setting?
The safe-when-professional reality
Yes, ozone can be hazardous if misused – which is exactly why the service should be delivered by Magic Broom’s certified team. We follow a documented method (RAMS), manage access control and signage, and keep the process strictly out-of-hours so there’s zero exposure to your staff.
Our five-step process
- Pre-clean to remove soil films (ozone works best on clean surfaces).
- Set-up & seal: room preparation, signage, programmed cycle.
- Treatment in an unoccupied space with a remote control.
- Aeration & verification: fresh-air purge and safe re-entry confirmation.
- Handover & brief report for your H&S records and scheduling.
Trained people, compliant kit
Our operatives are trained for ozone use in commercial environments, and our industrial generator and procedures are aligned with UK expectations for professional disinfection services. You get the benefit of a specialist method without the risk.
Add-On, Not a Replacement
Perhaps the most important message is that ozone treatment for commercial cleaning is a supplement to standard cleaning, not a substitute. Government and scientific guidance in the UK consistently emphasise this point. Normal routine cleaning with detergent (and disinfectant for touchpoints) is still essential for maintaining a healthy office. Ozone should come after the regular cleaning is done, as an extra layer of cleanliness.
How we build ozone treatment for commercial cleaning into your cleaning programme
Keep your regular contract cleaning (daily/weekly). Use Magic Broom’s ozone treatment periodically – for seasonal spikes, after incidents, or as a quarterly deep-disinfection step. It’s a practical way to reset rooms and support a healthier environment between routine cleans.
A simple way to trial it
Start with one pilot area – for example, a high-use meeting suite – and schedule a cycle after a peak week. Capture quick feedback on air freshness and room readiness, then decide whether to roll out a quarterly plan across similar spaces.
Environmental Impact: Ozone as a Green Cleaning Solution
No Chemical Residue or Storage
Ozone reverts to oxygen after treatment, so there’s no residue to wipe away and no quats/bleach films. Generated on demand from oxygen, it avoids storing, transporting or disposing of hazardous chemicals.
Lower Run-Off and Overall Footprint
Unlike liquids that can enter drains, ozone decomposes to ordinary oxygen, adding no downstream pollutants. Managed correctly, residual ozone is allowed to decay before ventilation, so there’s no meaningful outdoor impact.
Energy Use vs Chemical Footprint
Generators use electricity, but they cut the manufacturing, packaging and transport footprint tied to bulk disinfectants. In practice, the total impact is typically lower, mirroring ozone’s long-standing use in drinking-water treatment – high efficacy with no lasting chemical.
No Contribution to Antimicrobial Resistance
Ozone inactivates microbes by oxidation, not a specific biochemical target, so it doesn’t drive antimicrobial resistance.
Safety and Indoor Air
Eco-friendly doesn’t mean breathable during treatment: rooms must be unoccupied, then ventilated until safe to re-enter. Post-treatment, spaces are typically fresher; ozone neutralises odours and can oxidise some VOCs.
In summary, ozone treatment for commercial cleaning is used in offices when a thorough, whole-area disinfection is needed beyond normal cleaning. It’s ideal for out-of-hours decontamination of entire rooms. During the workday, of course, you cannot use ozone in occupied areas – it’s strictly for empty-room treatments. Ozone treatment for commercial cleaning is suitable for overnight cleaning schedules or weekend deep cleans, ensuring that by the time staff return, the environment is safe, fresh, and microbially clean.
