Page 4 How to choose the best restroom systems Most of us think of hand washing as a common sense part of personal cleanliness, but it s a lot more than that. Frequent hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, according to the.s. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) agrees. Hand washing, APIC says, reduces the "carriage of potential pathogens on the hands"; in short, hand washing not only gets hands clean, it helps keep people healthy. No matter what type of facility, providing the right kind of skincare systems is a crucial ingredient in protecting the health and well-being of the people who use its washrooms, day in and day out. But how do you determine which skincare dispensers are best for a particular facility s needs? Here are some guidelines to help select the right skincare system for the task: Counter-mounted dispensing systems Counter-mounted soap systems are ideal for office buildings or properties where appearance and image are important concerns. These systems provide an upscale look for today s modern facilities. When selecting this type of soap system, it s important to make sure it is engineered to eliminate the clogs, leaks, rust, corrosion and costly repair problems associated with many traditional counter-mounted, bulk soap systems. Look for systems that provide a new pump in every cartridge with a refill tube that runs all the way through the dispensing spout, so soap never touches the dispensers. A new pump in every cartridge will help eliminate pump mechanism problems. With this type of system there is also no chance of spilling soap when refilling the system. These systems often come with different finishes, such as chrome or brass, and can be used with many types of cleansers. Why not try a luxurious, thick soap that provides a rich hand feel to make the best impression possible on tenants and visitors? Replaceable soap systems For properties looking for an easy maintenance skincare solution, consider purchasing a high-capacity system that provides a new dispenser with each refill. With this kind of system, maintenance professionals replace the entire unit with a new, hygienic replacement as soap is depleted. Replaceable soap systems are easy to use as all dispensers are, regardless of size and easily click and mount on a universal bracket. Before you select a disposable soap system, check to see if it is made of recyclable plastic to reduce the amount of trash added to the waste stream and minimize the impact on the environment. These systems can also be used with many different kinds of hand cleansers, as well as alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers. If you want to offer an instant hand sanitizer, consider purchasing a product that is formulated to help prevent dry skin. Wall-mounted dispensers containing instant hand sanitizers are convenient for use in healthcare facilities in places such as, patient rooms, corridors, or nurse s stations. Portable instant hand sanitizers Another way to encourage hand hygiene in any type of facility is to provide portable bottles of instant hand sanitizer. The larger sizes can be placed on a desk, in a classroom, or in an office break room, while the smaller sizes can fit inside a pocket or lab coat, or be given to a student at school, making it possible to sanitize hands anytime, anywhere.
Page 5 In fact, waterless hand sanitizers on every desk was the second most popular choice for protecting office workers against germs in a 2003 survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for Kimberly-Clark Professional. Portable bottles are a great way to supplement all types of wall-mounted soap dispensing systems. The use of alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers is also cited as a key element in improving hand hygiene practices among health care personnel and reducing infection rates in the Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings from the CDC. In addition, a study published in the American Journal of Nursing in March 2001 found that providing an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as an alternative to traditional soap-and-water hand washing increased hand antisepsis compliance by nearly 44 percent in one leading healthcare facility. Touch-less systems Touch-less dispensers further minimize the spread of germs, since there are no buttons, cranks or levers to touch. However, touch-less technology is most crucial for hand towel dispensers, since towels are typically used once hands are clean. This is the most important time for people not to touch potentially germ-laden surfaces. Durable systems for high traffic locations For high-traffic locations, you may want to consider installing a high-capacity, abuse-resistant dispenser. After you ve selected the right skincare system for a particular facility, make sure to give careful consideration to the number of dispensers that will be needed. There should always be enough well-stocked dispensers to accommodate a busy restroom. With too few dispensers, people are more likely to leave without washing their hands, particularly if someone else is using the sink. By considering these tips before selecting skincare dispensers, you ll select the most effective system for a facility, ma king it easier for restroom visitors to wash up. Lastly, to make sure soap is there when people need it, be certain to purchase a system that functions well and doesn t require a lot of maintenance or repairs. Restocking, cleaning, as well as repairing broken or malfunctioning dispensers, all cost money. High-capacity dispensers that perform properly can also reduce costs because they don t have to be checked, repaired and restocked as often.
