ISS Facility Management service has announced the launch of a new disinfection and hygiene solution, Pure Space.

‘Pure Space’ works by analysing all traffic and touchpoints, identifying high-touch surfaces, and tailoring a suitable hygiene plan for that environment. It ensures that high-touch areas remain safe for hours after they have been disinfected.

Cleaning and disinfection experience 

We developed Pure Space with our scientific knowledge of large-scale cleaning, disinfection, and workplace experience. The product was ready within a few weeks, utilising our experts from the world over."

"The ISS and our people are dedicated to making our customers’ employees reconnect with the places they work in, in the aftermath of the corona pandemic,” says ISS Group COO, Troels Bjerg.

ATP technology

Pure Space is effective as it implements proven methods to eliminate all sources of infection on surfaces

PURE SPACE validates the outcome of the disinfection process. It uses ATP technology to scientifically measure the outcome of the cleaning. ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule found only in and around living cells, and can therefore be used to measure the concentration of microorganisms and the level of hygiene.

Pure Space is effective as it implements proven methods to eliminate all sources of infection on surfaces. It has been verified by the third-party verifier, Norske Veritas. Research indicates that a virus applied to a high-contact surface, such as a doorknob or a tabletop, can infect 40-60 percent of workplace employees within two to four hours.

Accurate testing and monitoring

Aksh Rohatgi, CEO of ISS Facility Services India, agrees, “Pure Space is a fantastic product that provides much-needed reassurance, enabling the people to feel relaxed and achieve their purpose within a hygienic environment."

"The entire process, combined with right individual behaviour, will have a powerful impact on curbing contamination and also provides accurate testing and monitoring of results for real-time feedback on cleaning efficacy.
