Big Sky Deacon is making a BIG difference in the lives of many
Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen has
continued to visit with businesses across the Treasure
State during her first term in office, including a Made in
Montana company that’s turning heads with its goal to
enhance public safety.
Big Sky Decon, previously known as Kart Kleen,
originated with the idea of cleaning grocery store
shopping carts, but has since expanded to applications
in law enforcement, first responders, schools, and more.
“The innovation and dedication from the team at
Big Sky Decon is inspiring,” said Secretary Jacobsen.
“They’re a locally owned and operated company that
truly cares about their clients – our children’s schools,
local businesses, and our law enforcement officers and
first responders who risk their lives for us – and it’s great
to see their passion for a cleaner, safer community.”
“We are a Made in America company, and we are
a Montana company and employee owned,” said Big
Sky Decon CEO Jason Gardiner. “We care about the
people we deal with; we care a hell of a lot more about
the people that we deal with than we do the profit that
we make.”
It’s that dedication to public safety that led
Gardiner and his team to brainstorm ways to “reduce
the spread of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa” in
as many places as possible. The ideas bounced around
in Gardiner’s mind for nearly two decades, as he wrote
patents and paperwork to prepare for implementation.
“Then we wake up one morning and it seemed
like the world is on fire,” Gardiner said, recalling 2020.
“People didn’t think I was crazy anymore. They didn’t
think my ideas were ludicrous anymore. They didn’t
think that what we were trying to do was nuts.”
“(U.S.) Senator (Steve) Daines was able to get us
into Hellgate Elementary here in Missoula, and we
showed and exhibited our product,” Gardiner added.
Big Sky Decon VP Max Gardiner says that initial
preview led to other opportunities with the Montana
school system.
“We did a program at the Department of Public
Health and Human Services to be able to outfit the K-12
schools in Montana, and we had a bunch of schools
apply and we had a really good success with that,”
said Max. “We’ve been checking in periodically with a
lot of the schools that ordered our stuff, and I got an
email (recently) from one of the schools which had a
classroom where a bunch of students were sick. … They
used one of our area units after school and moved it
around the classroom three minutes at a time in each
spot. And kids over the next week came back to school
every day and all complaints went away. There was no
more sickness that they were dealing with.”
“At the end of the email she sent, she said, ‘I wish
I was able to get more products. It’s great that this is
quick and efficient, but I would love to be able to do one
room and then another one at the same time.’ So we had
 the coming years.”
a real life example brought to “Whatever we can do to continually
us and I was like, ‘Wow, that’s help people in Montana and people in the
incredible.’” States and internationally, we want to do

doesn’t matter where the place is, whether it’s dirty or
not, you go in, it’s part of the job. But by getting into
those types of scenarios, it opens up the possibility that
the individual officer or first responder is going to be
exposed to disease or bacteria … and then they proceed
to put it back into a patrol car or fire truck or ambulance
that they share amongst their other peers.
“What really hit home to me personally was that
they could take it back to their families. Our units
will prevent that, and that’s why I was all in when first
speaking with Jason and Max.”
Big Sky Decon has implemented numerous
products for a variety of applications. Their area decon

can be used at any scene, while other units are more

any other location.
The testimonials speak for themselves as two
decades worth of ideas and implementation continue to
expand to new clients across the state, and, according to
Jason, hopefully across the country and globe.
“Where does it go from here? Shoot, there are a
plethora of ideas,” explained Jason. “We would love to
see an expansion of the programs that we just did in
Montana, especially in the schools. If something like this
was being worked on all over the world, then I could see
tremendous positivity in a lot of areas – mental health
sickness, and things like that.”

“It gets a little overwhelming when you start

thinking about all the different avenues that we can take
with this technology and these units that have been
designed,” added Bouchee. “But it’s also very exciting
where we can go in the future in how many hundreds of
thousands, if not millions of people that we can help in
