New ozone system helps make laundry sterile
|
A nursing home in Suffolk is using a new natural oxygen-based disinfectant to counter the threat of superbugs.
Foxearth Nursing Home, near Woodbridge, has established new laundry systems using ozone - a natural disinfectant.
It is said by hygiene and microbiology experts to be very effective against C Difficile and MRSA infections.
James Cantrell, home manager, said the new system gives them a great deal of confidence and it uses natural and freely available materials like oxygen.
"The new system uses ozone which is well known as a powerful disinfectant.
"Oxygen is pulled in from the surrounding air and is turned into ozone which is then put into the water in the washing machines.
