Pure Room: Sanitising Technology

What began as a novel technology for niche use in the pharmaceutical industry, has now evolved to include the hospitality industry with implementation at large in various luxury hotels, including Taj, North Goa

For every housekeeper and general manager, one of the most important aspects of running a hotel is cleanliness and hygiene. Coupled with microbiology and so many international standards, it has now become extremely prudent that all hotels follow utmost care in providing, clean, hygienic and defect free rooms to their guests.

Keeping this in mind, one of the many things which we have introduced in Taj, North Goa is a Pure Room concept. Pioneered by the ever evolving and demanding pharmaceutical industry, this concept has now found space in the Indian hospitality landscape. The backbone of Pure Room is the technology - DSX, which puts sanitisation levels at par with pharmaceutical clean rooms.

Having been test-piloted at a couple of Taj properties, this technology is now being implemented across Taj in North Goa. As the weeks progressed, the hotels have now witnessed first-hand efficacy of this new technology and have expanded the scope of work, giving access to full rooms, common areas and kitchens. Pure Room works on sanitising hotel surfaces in a “pure” manner, without the use of any chemicals or other toxic compounds.
