What Is Tersano and Why Are More Businesses Using It for Chemical-Free Cleaning?

Written by Lani Johnson | September 09, 2025

There’s a quiet revolution happening in office buildings, schools, hospitals and shopping centres across Australia. It’s not about flashy tech or cutting-edge software... it’s in the cleaning cupboard. For decades, “clean” meant strong-smelling sprays, harsh chemicals, and safety gloves. But what if true cleanliness didn’t require any of that?

At Cleancorp, we’re proving it doesn’t. By using Tersano’s game-changing Stabilised Aqueous Ozone (SAO) technology, we’re helping businesses clean smarter - with zero harmful chemicals, less waste, and better results. If your business is chasing ESG goals, wants to create a safer space for staff, or simply hates the smell of bleach, this post is for you.

What Problem Does Tersano Solve?

  • Health & safety risks: Traditional cleaning products can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and skin irritation.

  • Environmental harm: Chemicals wash into waterways and add plastic waste from packaging.

  • Inefficiency: Managing multiple products, training, PPE, and compliance adds cost and complexity.

Why Chemical-Free Cleaning Matters for Your Business

  • Enhances indoor air quality

  • Protects employee and customer health

  • Demonstrates sustainability leadership

  • Helps meet compliance (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, HACCP)

  • Reduces overall cleaning costs

 How Tersano Works: Science in Action

Tersano’s Stabilised Aqueous Ozone (SAO) technology turns tap water into a powerful, non-toxic cleaner by infusing it with an extra oxygen molecule (O₃). This forms aqueous ozone—50% stronger than bleach, yet completely safe.

  • It cleans, sanitises and deodorises in one go.

  • Reverts to water and oxygen, leaving no residue.

  • Approved by HACCP and TGA for use in high-risk areas like healthcare and food services.

Cleancorp’s Use of Tersano in Action

  • No harsh smells or irritants

  • Eliminates up to 93% of traditional cleaning chemicals

  • Reduces packaging waste by up to 80%

  • Cuts training and PPE requirements

  • Ideal for high-touch areas: lifts, bathrooms, kitchens
