On-site generation of cleaning, disinfection
and sanitizing solutions enhances productivity and improves
performance over traditional cleaning methods, says Kisco
Environmental Services Director
Orbio Technologies, a Tennant Company (NYSE:TNC) group and a
leading innovator of sustainable cleaning technologies, is pleased
to announce that Kisco Senior Living, a leading owner and operator
of senior living communities throughout the U.S., has made the
sustainable choice to greatly reduce its use of packaged chemicals
and, instead, generate commercial cleaning solutions on-site using
the award-winning Orbio® os3. The Orbio os3 is attached to the
building’s water supply and uses the process of water
electrolysis—which combines water, electricity and a small amount
of salt—to create an effective cleaning solution and a
disinfecting/sanitizing solution that meets U.S. EPA regulatory
guidelines for disinfection and sanitization.
Jack Mayse, National Director of Environmental Services for
Kisco Senior Living based in Carlsbad, CA, was convinced of the os3
performance when he tested it in one of Kisco’s senior living
communities. “We have found the self-generated cleaning solutions
from the os3 to be superior in performance to traditional cleaning
chemicals we previously used. Also, the cleaning solutions
dispensed from the os3 don’t release strong chemical odors into the
environment and that contributes to a healthier environment for our
residents. That makes the os3 an easy choice,” Mayse said. “For
Kisco, it’s important that the Orbio os3 also helps to reduce our
carbon footprint.”
Cleaning the 19 Kisco Senior Living communities is no small
task. With more than 3 million combined square feet that need to be
cleaned daily, the great results and added productivity gained by
generating the cleaning solutions on-site are significant. “Having
a clean, inviting place to live is paramount to the well-being and
satisfaction of our senior residents,” Mayse said. “And,
cleanliness has a direct correlation to the health of our residents
and we take that very seriously.”
Kisco will ultimately deploy 20 Orbio os3 units throughout its
communities and has said that any newly built or acquired
communities will be migrated to the Orbio cleaning methodology.
“The driving forces behind our decision to go with on-site
generation from Orbio include the science behind the system, the
proven outcomes, the Tennant Company’s reputation for service and
the environmental impact reduction we achieve,” Mayse
explained.
“We look forward to growing with Kisco because they are
innovative in their thinking about sustainability and passionate
about providing the best possible care for their residents,” said
Karla Leis, Vice President and General Manager of Orbio
Technologies. “On-site generation is a perfect match for Kisco and
we’re thrilled to be leading the way with them,” Leis added.
