An article published on Index on January 9, 2026, presented an innovative solution debuting at CES that draws attention to one of the biggest yet often underestimated hygiene risks: the rapid and continuous recontamination of frequently touched surfaces, such as sinks and touchpoints.
The article also confirms what the hygiene and healthcare professions have known for a long time.
- Traditional cleaning only reaches 20–25% of surfaces.
- frequently touched areas become recontaminated within minutes,
- Disinfection has an immediate effect and requires continuous human or technological intervention.
It is no coincidence that more and more developments are appearing in this area.
The direction of innovation is right – but it matters at what cost and how
The solution presented in the article clearly shows that the market has recognized the problem, but at the same time, these tools:
- require a continuous supply of electricity,
- require special equipment, installation, and maintenance,
- heir investment and operating costs are typically high.
This means that, although they are interesting from a technological point of view, they are not a realistic, long-term sustainable solution for all institutions.
Clean+Safe chose a different path – lasting protection without energy
The Clean+Safe system addresses precisely the same problem as described in the Index article – but with a completely different approach.
Clean+Safe is a long-lasting, hybrid antimicrobial surface protection system that:
- does not require electricity,
- invisibly, constantly active on surfaces,
- not a tool, but surface-integrated protection,
- costs a fraction of active, electrical systems.
Clean+Safe coatings and touch protection solutions based on ReSilver technology remain active for years and provide protection even in places that cannot be reached by cleaning or disinfecting agents.
Why is this a real advantage for operators?
Introduction of the Clean+Safe system:
- Reduces disinfection costs by 50–60%,
- Reduces employee absenteeism by 20–35%,
- significantly reduces chemical use and surface damage,
- improves ESG compliance and institutional reputation,
- auditálható, mérhető és dokumentált eredményeket biztosít
(30 napos, 6 hónapos és 12 hónapos utánkövetéssel).
The hygiene systems of the future are not devices, but surfaces
We welcome the fact that critical touch surfaces are receiving increasing attention on the international technology scene. However, we believe – and 15 years of experience prove – that the real solution lies not in continuously operated devices, but in permanently self-disinfecting surfaces.
A Clean+Safe nem a jövő ígérete –
hanem egy ma is működő, költséghatékony és bizonyított rendszer.
