Antifungal shoe disinfection – KLENZ technology
Proper hygiene of footwear is an essential part of successful nail fungus treatment. Ideally, shoes worn during an active fungal infection should be replaced after treatment begins. However, discarding all footwear at once is often unrealistic.
In practice, it is recommended to dispose of old, heavily worn, and sweat-soaked shoes, as these create an ideal environment for fungal growth.
At Estonian Foot Clinic, we offer professional shoe disinfection using the KLENZ system, an advanced device that sterilizes footwear using silver and ozone technology.

KLENZ Silver & Ozone technology
KLENZ uses an innovative Silver + Ozone (O₃) disinfection technology. The device resembles a small microwave oven and provides fast and effective sterilization.
Originally developed to disinfect and deodorize footwear, the technology is completely safe and can also be used to sanitize various personal items, including:
- Children’s items and baby accessories
- Soft toys and baby bottles
- Mobile phones
- Books and money
- Small bags and accessories
Clinical testing has shown a 99.7% sterilization and deodorization effectiveness.
Scientific studies indicate that the system destroys over 650 types of bacteria and fungi, and microorganisms cannot survive longer than 6 minutes during the sterilization cycle. For this reason, the device is programmed with a 6-minute treatment cycle.
How the technology works
Silver has been used for antibacterial and antifungal protection for over 100 years. When silver particles are reduced to microscopic sizes (approximately 25 nm), they create a highly effective antimicrobial surface treatment.
When combined with ozone (O₃), powerful ions are formed that:
- Disrupt the metabolism of bacteria and fungi
- Interfere with oxygen transport through microbial cell membranes
- Break down molecular bonds within microorganisms
This process effectively destroys bacteria, fungi, and odor-causing molecules.
Silver and ozone prevent microorganisms from multiplying — the main cause of infections, unpleasant odors, itching, and skin irritation.
