How Unify Is Using Tersano To Reduce Chemical Cleaning
Sustainability is becoming a growing priority for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact while still creating safe, healthy workplaces. More companies are looking closely at the way their workplaces operate and asking an important question: how can we reduce our environmental impact while still creating safe, healthy spaces for people?
At Unify, we’re always exploring smarter ways to improve how we work without compromising on quality or hygiene. Through our partnership with Chespack Hygiene, we’ve introduced Tersano technology across a number of sites to support a more sustainable approach to commercial cleaning.
Cleaning products can often come with harsh chemicals, unnecessary waste and a hefty environmental footprint. Tersano offered a different way forward as it allows businesses to reduce reliance on traditional cleaning products while still maintaining high cleaning standards.
What Is Tersano?
In simple terms, Tersano transforms ordinary tap water into a powerful cleaning and sanitising solution.
Using a process called aqueous ozone technology, the system creates a non-hazardous cleaner. Once it’s done its job, the solution safely reverts back to water, leaving behind no harmful residues.
What makes it especially useful in commercial spaces is how versatile it is. It can be used for day-to-day cleaning across almost every surface and environment, including:
Surfaces -
Floors, carpets and hardwood
Walls
Mirrors and windows
Stone, marble and ceramic
Sinks and taps
Environments -
Schools
Sports facilities
Offices
Outdoor terraces
Hospitality
It’s super effective at getting rid of contaminants and supporting cleaner, healthier workplaces - without relying on strong chemicals or overpowering smells.
A More Sustainable Way to Clean
One of the biggest benefits of Tersano is the impact it can have on sustainability goals.
Because the solution is created on-site using tap water, there’s far less need for transporting large volumes of cleaning chemicals between suppliers and buildings. That means fewer delivery emissions, less packaging waste and a much smaller overall carbon footprint. The system also helps reduce single-use plastic by removing the need for multiple bottles of products.
For businesses focused on ESG targetsand greener workplace operations, small changes like this can make a real difference over time.
Healthier Spaces
Sustainable cleaning doesn’t just apply to the environment, it’s also about creating healthier, more comfortable spaces for people to work in. And that includes reducing exposure to harsh chemicals wherever possible. Tersano helps us do that with:
Less strong chemical odour
Reduced exposure to irritants
Safer environments for people with allergies or sensitivities
It also creates a safer experience for our cleaning teams. With no sticky residues left behind, surfaces are safer underfoot, helping to reduce slip risks while simplifying the cleaning process overall.
Supporting Smarter Operations
Beyond the environmental and wellbeing benefits, the technology has also helped improve operational efficiency across the spaces we support.
We rolled the system out across more than 25 units over a six-month period, helping Bruntwood streamline cleaning operations and significantly reduce the use of harsh cleaning products. Adoption from on-site teams has been incredibly positive, with Tersano now used for around 90% of daily cleaning activity across the business.
“Rolling out Tersano across our portfolio has been a hugely positive step. Using less chemicals creates a better customer experience and of course reduces the environmental impact of cleaning operations in line with our ESG goals”
For us, that’s what smart workplace operations look like - finding practical innovations that improve sustainability, support people and make day-to-day operations simpler and more effective.
As businesses continue to prioritise ESG goals, wellbeing and operational efficiency, sustainable technologies like Tersano are helping redefine what modern commercial cleaning looks like - cleaner, safer and more environmentally responsible.
