Device and method for generating and applying ozonated water

A cleaning apparatus comprising:

• a reservoir containing a liquid, said reservoir able to be easily manipulated by a user to dispense said liquid;
• a device for increasing the level of oxidative properties in said liquid;
• a circulation flow path communicating with said reservoir and said device to allow at least some of said liquid in said reservoir to flow from said reservoir to said device and back to said reservoir;
• wherein said circulation flow path includes a recirculation flow path and a treatment flow path, where said treatment flow path directs water from said recirculation flow path to said device and back to said recirculation flow path;
• and
• wherein said treatment flow path includes a pre-treatment region downstream of said device and upstream of a reconvergence of said treatment flow path and said recirculation flow path.

A residential cleaning apparatus comprising:

• a base unit including an ozone generator;
• a reservior for holding water and for use by a user to selectively dispense water, said reservoir being selectively and fluidically attachable to said base unit;
• a circulation flow path formed between said reservoir and said base unit, and fluidically and at least in part connecting said reservoir with said ozone generator;
• and
• wherein said at least some of said water flows in said circulation flow path between said reservoir and said ozone generator and back to said reservoir, said ozone generator dispensing ozone into said water.
