Starting in 2025, Kawan Lama Solution launched the #SolusiBersih (Clean Solution) program which the first activity was undertaken at Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, 8 January 2025. With the support of Nilfisk, a brand of cleaning equipment from Denmark officially distributed by Kawan Lama Solution, the program was committed to providing the best cleaning solution to maintain the cleanliness of historical and iconic sites in Indonesia. At the same time, it strengthened Kawan Lama Solution’s commitment to supporting culture and environmental preservation.
Arifudin, the Associate Product General Manager of Kawan Lama Solution, said, “As part of the company’s social and environmental contributions, the #SolusiBersih program becomes our real movement in delivering innovative cleaning solutions to support the preservation of the priceless cultural heritage. Istiqlal Mosque became the first location for this program because it is the biggest mosque in South Asia, also a national icon reflecting historical value and national culture. In 2024, a total of 2.9 million visitors from domestic and abroad were recorded. That’s why keeping the cleanliness of the Istiqlal Mosque is important to keep its beauty and function as a symbol of pride for Indonesia. With Nilfisk’s innovative technology, we aren’t just focused on cleaning efficiency and how our solution can comfort society and contribute to sustainability and cultural heritage preservation. #SolusiBersih program from Kawan Lama Solution is a perfect example of how sophisticated technology can keep iconic places in Indonesia clean and well maintained without compromising the environment.”
Nilfisk's sophisticated cleaning technology ensures an efficient, innovative, and sustainability-oriented cleaning process. Nilfisk products are designed to fasten cleaning processes and optimize the use of resources without compromising cleanliness results. With the ability to reach wide areas and difficult corners, the technology not only keeps the thorough cleanliness of Istiqlal Mosque but also reduces the environmental impact caused by the cleaning process, aligned with a commitment to create a cleaner, healthier, and sustainable environment. Nilfisk technology supports resource efficiency and becomes part of real efforts to preserve cultural heritage while keeping environmental sustainability for the next generation.
Kombes Pol (Purn) Drs. KH. Zainuri Anwar, M.Ag., Head of Riayah of Istiglal Mosque, stated, “We sincerely welcome the #SolusiBersih program initiative from Kawan Lama Solution supported by Nilfisk. The activity started by cleaning the main area of Istiqlal Mosque, including the interior and exterior, and then the carpet extractor cleaning equipment was handed over to Istiqlal Mosque. This program doesn’t just support the physical cleanliness of Istiqlal Mosque and reflects an incredible commitment to keeping the mosque sanct and comfortable for all visitors. Using Nilfisk products has given significant efficiency in saving water, energy, time, and human resources. These advantages make this cleaning technology an optimal solution to support sustainable cleanliness. We hope that the program can be continuously developed and give Indonesia wider future benefits.”
In the future, Kawan Lama Solution, part of Kawan Lama Group, does not see the #SolusiBersih program as a cleaning initiative but as a strategic move to strengthen relations between society, culture, and modern technology. Focusing on historical and iconic places in Indonesia, this program aims to be a bridge that connects traditional values with modern innovation, resulting in a positive impact on national cultural heritage preservation.
