The next evolution of cleaning solution is here

Health spaces and healthy people are a top priority at Midtown, so an ultra-effective sanitizer stronger than bleach but as safe as water is a natural fit. All Midtown facilities now use the Tersano Lotus Pro system to produce Aqueous Ozone Solution (AOS) for cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces.  

AOS is a stabilized aqueous ozone solution produced by using 4,500 volts of electricity to add an extra molecule to oxygen (O2) thus creating ozone (O3). This O3 is then infused into ordinary tap water to create a stabilized cleaning solution that is 3,000 times faster and stronger than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners, completely safe for users, and effective on all surfaces. AOS cleans and sanitizes for up to 4 hours, at which point any unused O3 molecules naturally convert back to oxygen and water. With no toxins, carcinogens, or chemical residue, there are no threats to environmental or human health. 

Many people associate the word ‘ozone’ with harmful and dangerous gases. AOS is different. It is 100% safe and has been certified by governmental bodies such as the FDA and Health Canada, independent test laboratories, and sustainability organizations such as Green Seal as a safe, sustainable alternative to traditional chemical cleaners and sanitizers. 

Despite its benign composition, AOS offers a kill rate similar to hospital-grade disinfectants. While active, the stabilized solution is attracted to dirt, grime, viruses, and bacteria, killing 99.999% of all harmful contaminants, including the approved surrogate for COVID-19: Murine Coronavirus/Murine Hepatitis Virus (MHV-3).  

The decision to convert from traditional chemical cleaners and disinfectants to AOS was simple. Cleaning is a top priority, and AOS allows us to provide safe, usable spaces at all times. No fumes or odors from cleaning with harsh chemicals means more comfortable, non-allergenic environments for our members and associates. And as a non-corrosive solution, AOS is better for the longevity of our equipment, meaning less downtime for maintenance or replacement. Finally, we are passionate about caring for the environment. AOS spares thousands of gallons of toxic chemicals dumped into our groundwater, streams, and waste systems, not to mention the amount of single-use plastics and packaging that we can now avoid. We are proud to reduce our carbon footprint while still providing the highest standard of clean.  

As a multi-surface, multi-functional cleaner, associates use AOS throughout our facilities in spray bottles, buckets, and fogging systems both in periodic daily cleaning, and as part of our 1-2 Cleaning Approach.
