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.
