A Smarter Approach to Everyday Sanitizing

In an era where hygiene is a top priority, schools, healthcare facilities, and childcare centers are under constant pressure to maintain high standards of cleanliness. With concerns around chemical overuse and labor-intensive sanitizing methods, there’s an increasing demand for solutions that are both effective and sustainable—like a modern sanitizing cabinet designed to streamline the disinfection process without compromising safety.

Enter the ZONO™ Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet, a game-changing innovation designed to simplify disinfection—without relying on harsh chemicals. Whether it’s sanitizing classroom toys, therapy tools, or shared equipment in healthcare environments, the ZONO™ Cabinet offers an eco-friendly, efficient, and consistent method of sanitization.

Using a patented process that combines ozone and humidity, it eliminates 99.9% of common bacteria and viruses—including norovirus, influenza, and COVID-19—making it indispensable in high-traffic, high-risk settings.

Why the ZONO™ Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet Is a Smart Investment

More than just a piece of equipment, the ZONO™ Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet is a complete solution for modern hygiene challenges. It’s designed to support the safety, compliance, and operational efficiency of schools, early learning centers, hospitals, and beyond.

1. Chemical-Free Technology That’s Safe and Sustainable

Traditional sanitizing methods often rely on bleach, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals. These substances not only pose health risks—especially to children and immunocompromised individuals—but also leave residues and require meticulous manual handling.

The ZONO™ Cabinet eliminates these concerns by operating without liquids, sprays, or wipes. It uses a natural sanitizing process that’s safe for staff, students, patients, and the environment. This is particularly beneficial for facilities that are striving to reduce their chemical footprint or must limit chemical exposure due to sensitivities and allergies.

Benefits:

  • No chemical residues on sanitized items
  • Eliminates the need for PPE during operation
  • Helps meet green cleaning initiatives

2. The Power of Ozone and Humidity

The ZONO™ Cabinet utilizes a unique combination of low-level ozone and water vapor to thoroughly sanitize items. This patented process ensures that sanitizing mist penetrates even porous and soft materials—something traditional methods often fail to do effectively.

How It Works:

  • The cabinet introduces ozone into a sealed chamber
  • Water vapor activates the ozone, creating a powerful yet safe sanitizing atmosphere
  • In just 38 minutes, the cycle is complete—eliminating 99.9% of harmful pathogens.

Because the ZONO™ Cabinet works at room temperature and doesn’t require drying time, it’s suitable for delicate items like books, electronics, and fabrics.

3. Wide Range of Compatible Items

One of the standout features of the ZONO™ Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet is its versatility. It can accommodate an extensive array of materials and items commonly found in educational and medical settings.

Perfect for Sanitizing:

  • Classroom supplies (scissors, manipulatives, markers)
  • Books, tablets, and learning aids
  • Medical and therapy tools
  • PPE such as masks and face shields
  • Toys and plush items
  • Bedding, pillows, and cushions
  • Wheelchairs and rehabilitation equipment

Unlike traditional cleaning methods, the ZONO™ Cabinet doesn’t damage sensitive materials, making it a safe, one-stop solution for virtually all everyday items.

4. Time-Efficient and Labor-Saving

Manual disinfection is time-consuming, inconsistent, and often incomplete. Staff must spend hours wiping down equipment and keeping track of cleaning protocols—time that could be better spent on caregiving, teaching, or therapy.

The ZONO™ Cabinet automates the sanitizing process, offering a consistent and efficient alternative. Each cycle takes less than 30 minutes, and items come out ready to use, requiring no additional drying or rinsing.

Key Time-Saving Features:

  • Set-it-and-forget-it operation
  • No need for supervision during cycles
  • Enables batch sanitizing of multiple items at once
  • Minimizes downtime between item usage
