Education About Cleaning Solution Generators

What Is a Cleaning Solution Generator

A cleaning solution generator is a device that produces an active cleaning fluid in place, typically using only electricity and water. Unlike traditional cleaning products reliant on pre-prepared chemical solutions, these systems use electrolysis or other technologies to produce a cleaning agent at the point of use. For instance, the Argentumix YMK-1001 and YMK-2001 units convert tap water into a silver-ion-saturated cleaning solution within 10 minutes for small units and 2–4 hours for bulk systems.

The approach is significantly different from common methods of purchasing, keeping on hand, and disposing of quantities of bottles of chemical cleaners. Instead of working with possibly toxic or irritating chemicals, users can create a gentle, non-toxic solution when it is needed.

Advantages of Onsite Generation

By having the cleaning solution made on site, organizations can skip repeated delivery of chemical supplies. This approach can replace bottled chemical sprays – a single unit has the potential to save hundreds of plastic packaging bottles per year. Not only does this reduce delivery logistics, but it also reduces packaging waste and the associated carbon footprint from transport.

Apart from this, storage and handling needs are greatly reduced. No more clunky storage cabinets full of all kinds of chemicals, no more extensive chemical inventory tracking or hazard labeling.  The reusable system eliminates the need for hundreds of disposable plastic bottles, making it ideal for small companies and large commercial enterprises alike.

Cost-Saving Advantages

A key advantage of onsite cleaning solution generators is the long-term cost savings on supplies. Traditional commercial cleaning requires continual purchasing pre-mixed chemical cleaners, which translates to high recurring expenses. In contrast, Argentumix generators like the YMK-2001 utilize electricity and tap water only, though. One full charge (approx. 2 hours) can provide up to numerous batches of Solutions 10 minutes per batch)—offering significant cost savings over repeatedly purchasing bottled solutions.

This system also provides a more predictable cost of operation, as it is not subject to fluctuations in chemical prices or dependency on supplier availability. The consistent cost per batch, based primarily on local electricity and water rates, simplifies budgeting.

Reduced Waste and Simplified Inventory

Traditional chemical cleaners have an expiration date, and overstocking means costly inventory waste. With on-demand manufacturing by a generator like the Argentumix YMK-1001, there is no inventory expiration or excess inventory management problem.

In addition, the reusable design minimizes disposable plastic waste. Instead of  stocking large amounts in single-use packs, you produce only what you need, when you need it dramatically cutting down on packaging waste and preventing the overuse of resources.

Operational Efficiency Gains

Better Supply Streamlining

Managing dozens of SKUs for various cleaning agents complicate operations in any facility. On-site generators cut this drastically by providing a single source of cleaning solution. There is no need for repeated ordering or complex vendor management since the supply is generated locally as needed.

Argentumix products support consistent cleaning routines with a continuous, on-demand supply of solution. This is particularly beneficial for industries that require reliable cleaning protocols, such as hospitality, education, and certain commercial environments.

Simplification of Labor and Training

Another operational advantage is employee training and safe practice. Since all employees utilize the same standardized solution for various applications—surface wiping to fabric refreshing—the risk of inappropriate dilution or unsafe mixing is obviated.

The product application is straightforward: “For wiping down high-contact surfaces to help maintain a cleaner environment.” This single method eliminates confusion and enhances efficiency between groups.

Safety and Environmental Benefits

Safer for Occupants and Staff

Argentumix silver ion solutions are designed with safety at their core. In independent laboratory tests, our 1-3ppm electrolytic silver ion solution was not a skin irritant in the Repeated Intact Skin Irritation tests. This means it can be used daily without the need for gloves or protective gear—unlike traditional chemical cleaners that can cause respiratory or dermal irritation.

The YMK series provides gentle cleaning power suitable for sensitive users, children, and pets when used in the right manner. With no heavy metals or toxins, as certified, these products present fewer risks to users during handling.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning Practices

In addition to business advantages, onsite generation also enables eco-friendly business practices. As explained earlier, by replacing hundreds of single-use plastic bottles per year, each device significantly reduces the amount of plastic waste sent to landfills.

Additionally, local production translates into reduced transportation and manufacturing emissions. The generator’s low energy consumption, comparable to using an LED light bulb for 10 minutes per batch, supports environmental sustainability goals.

Why Argentumix Generators

Proprietary Technology and Reliability

Argentumix generators like the YMK-1001 and YMK-2001 use proprietary electrolytic silver ion technology to deliver consistent performance with minimal maintenance. These devices are engineered specifically for commercial environments where operational reliability is the priority.

Electrode life: ~1 year (dependent on water hardness). Easy DIY replacement. With minimal maintenance required, facility managers can focus more on operations and less on equipment upkeep.

Each batch provides a consistent silver ion level (1–3 ppm), ideal for routine surface cleaning and odor control across many industries, such as hospitality, gyms, schools, and office complexes.

Support and Integration Services

Argentumix sells equipment, but what it delivers is a complete system backed with installation guides, training material, and ongoing customer support. The equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing janitorial processes without disrupting operations.

From wiping down high-touch surfaces to fabrics between washes and controlling odors in pet facilities, “the generated solution can be used to help maintain hygiene across a broad range of settings.”

Facilities that adopt Argentumix systems can not only reduce their operational costs, but also enhance their environmental stewardship and workplace safety —all while achieving consistently clean outcomes.

Conclusion

Upgrading to an onsite generator like Argentumix YMK-1001 or YMK-2001 is not just cost-saving—it’s about embracing a smarter approach to cleanliness that is safer for people and gentler on the planet. If you are ready to explore how this technology can benefit your facility, contact us today.

FAQ

Q: An on-site cleaning solution generator saves money in the long term, how?

A: By avoiding the repeated purchase of pre-mixed chemical cleaners. Products like the Argentumix YMK-1001 allow people to create active silver-ion solutions from simply tap water and electricity—both saving supply costs as well as packaging waste.

Q: Is the solution safe for repeated use in areas frequently contacted by people or pets?

A: Yes. Our 1-3ppm electrolytic silver ion solution, tested by an independent laboratory, exhibited no skin irritation.

Q: Can the same solution be used on different applications?

A: Yes. The uniform silver-ion solution can be used for mopping floors, wiping surfaces, revitalizing clothes, pet area cleaning, and so on—eliminating the need for multiple specialized products.
