Smart Surfaces. Visible Hygiene.
We believe cleanliness should be visible. Smart antimicrobial coating technology powers LumiClean — combining antimicrobial action with light-responsive innovation to create visibly cleaner, safer environments.
Smart by Design
LumiClean combines proven antimicrobial technology with light-responsive indicators, allowing you to see when your surfaces are protected. No guessing — just visible hygiene assurance.
Safe & Sustainable
Formulated with eco-conscious materials and non-toxic solvents, LumiClean keeps both users and the environment safe — aligned with EU sustainability and circular economy goals.
Proven Protection
Backed by laboratory testing, LumiClean eliminates over 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Durable, water-resistant, and designed for long-term antimicrobial protection.
Welcome to LumiClean!
We are developing intelligent coatings that bring visibility to hygiene. Our luminescent antimicrobial technology combines long-lasting biocidal protection with optical feedback — so users can instantly verify coating integrity and effectiveness.
Whether it’s hospitals, schools, public transport, or homes — LumiClean helps ensure cleaner, safer surfaces with less effort and more confidence.
About Us
LumiClean was born from a shared mission — to make cleanliness visible, reliable, and intelligent. Our team brings together scientists, technologists, and innovators who believe that hygiene should not only be effective but also evident. We specialize in smart antimicrobial coatings that combine biocidal protection with optical feedback, enabling users to instantly verify when a surface is safe.
Developed through collaboration between the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, and SIA Sprayify, LumiClean bridges cutting-edge materials science with real-world usability.
Our work is grounded in rigorous scientific testing and sustainable product design. All formulations are developed with environmentally responsible solvents, ensuring both high performance and low ecological impact. The result is a coating that is not only intelligent and effective, but also aligned with the principles of the EU Circular Economy — helping build cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environments.
"We believe that hygiene shouldn’t be invisible — it should be proven, seen, and trusted."
Technology
LumiClean combines advanced antimicrobial materials with optical sensing to create a visible layer of hygiene. Unlike traditional cleaning methods or standard antimicrobial coatings, LumiClean not only protects surfaces — it shows when protection is active.
The Science Behind It
Traditional cleaning methods provide only short-term protection and no feedback on surface hygiene.
Conventional antimicrobial coatings extend this protection but remain passive — users cannot tell when the coating wears off or stops working.
LumiClean introduces a breakthrough dual-mode system:
1️⃣ Bulk luminescence – under UV light, the coating emits a subtle glow, confirming its presence and coverage on the surface.
2️⃣ Surface chemiluminescence – the coating reacts with a special luminol-based reagent, emitting light that correlates with its active biocidal performance.
This intelligent optical feedback enables real-time monitoring, long-lasting protection, and data-driven hygiene control — bridging the gap between cleaning and continuous safety.
