Why phs washroom hygiene? Visitors use washrooms to help them make a judgement about an organisation and how it s being managed. It provides a window behind-the-scenes - and a bad first impression can have a negative impact on an organisation. In fact, 64% of people would think twice about returning to a premise with a bad washroom. To run a successful and profitable business means winning the confidence of visitors and employees. It also means complying with the requirements of regulatory bodies by demonstrating a professional knowledge of legislation and regulatory standards and having efficient practices in place to meet them. Having an experienced and reliable washroom hygiene services provider to help you manage these challenges can be invaluable, and this is where phs can help. Your washroom says more about your organisation than you realise. It speaks volumes to your employees and visitors about how your establishment is run and how it treats people. Providing a clean, pleasant and modern washroom is a positive reflection on your organisation and its values. We supply washroom hygiene services to anywhere from Buckingham Palace to beach bars in Ibiza. 2 WASHROOMS 3
CONSUMABLES Washroom hygiene How our LifeCycle process works MEETING PEOPLE S NEEDS TOILET ROLL DISPENSER TOILET PAPER Providing for people s human needs is not only your duty of care, it shows a commitment to employees and visitors, reassuring them that they come first and are welcome at your premise. Ensuring your visitors have access to hygienic, well-maintained and easy-to-use facilities will keep our organisation healthy and happy. 73% SOURCE Commercial hygiene waste (i.e. sanitary, incontinence pads and nappies) is collected from cinemas, shopping centres, leisure centres, travel hubs etc and is delivered to our state-of-the-art facility. SURFACE SANITISER HYGIENE WASTE OF PEOPLE BELIEVE A BAD WASHROOM INDICATES BAD MANAGEMENT We know that space in washroom cubicles is often limited and our range of sanitary bins, incontinence bins and nappy bins offers different options to fit the area you have available. The frequency of our collection service can be tailored to suit your needs. PROCESS Waste is then processed to remove moisture content to leave a raw, clean burnable mass. NAPPY BIN SANITARY BIN There are also legal obligations for organisations to consider when looking at their washrooms. The Duty of Care Act demands that all commercial properties manage sanitary waste at the point of disposal. CONVERSION The raw material is then burned to create energy. INCONTINENCE BIN DISPENSING SANITARY BAG DISPENSER LEADING THE WAY IN SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT We process our customer s absorbent hygiene waste products through our LifeCycle plant. WHAT IS LIFECYCLE LifeCycle is our revolutionary solution for the recycling of items such as nappies, incontinence waste and sanitary waste and is unique to phs. We process the waste and turn it into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) to be used in power stations. Our LifeCycle service is available nationwide so, you can be confident that when you work with us, you are also helping to protect our environment by diverting this waste stream away from landfill. POWER This energy is then used to power our factories, schools, public buildings, homes and even light washrooms and the cycle begins again. VENDING MACHINES KEY FACT There are an estimated 1 million working men in the UK living with some form of incontinence, with many requiring male incontinence pads. 250% Landfill costs have gone up by over 250% since 2007, and this is set to increase even further. 4 WASHROOMS WASHROOMS 5
HAND CARE DISPENSING Washroom hygiene HAND DRYER AIR CARE SOAP DISPENSER AIR PURIFIER ODOUR CONTROL SPECIALIST MAT HAND DRYER MAT HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENTS A welcoming hygienic environment Germs and viruses spread quickly through hands so providing good quality hand hygiene equipment in your washroom is vital. We understand that no-one likes being faced with a washroom with no soap or inadequate hand drying facilities so we work with organisations to provide fully serviced washrooms that provide appropriate, well-maintained facilities for their visitors and staff. From high speed, low cost dryers to discreet drying at a low volume, our new series of AIRSTREAM hand dryers show how we can apply our pioneering technology and innovation to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We know that hand dryers are a typical area for collecting water. We can provide hand dryer mats to help avoid slips and trips in the washroom by soaking up the water that can lead to wet and slippery floors, so you can avoid unnecessary and potentially costly accidents. The average office worker s hands come into contact with 10 million bacteria a day. KEY FACT Hand washing can reduce illness by 30-50% The very first thing visitors notice about a washroom is its smell. An unpleasant odour creates an instant bad impression and may put visitors off all together. Bad smells can also mean your washroom is harbouring dangerous germs. We understand the importance of maintaining clean, fresh-smelling air that creates a welcoming, healthy environment. Our revolutionary air freshening technology systems ensure your washroom stays odour-free, whatever its size, by destroying bad smells, not just masking them. Public and shares spaces, like open plan offices and shopping centres, are breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, dust, allergens and harsh chemicals and odours. As a result, airborne viruses such as flu are easily passed, affecting between 15 and 20% of the population each year. We can make your areas healthier and hygienic for both visitors and employees. Our innovative AERAMAX Professional is an air purifier with a HEPA filter that has been shown in an independent laboratory study to remove 99.9% of the airborne flu virus within 35 minutes of operation, filtering ambient air several times an hour. Our energy-saving hand dryers cut energy use by compared to traditional dryers 80% The placement of a phs AIR FRESHENER and AIR PURIFIER within your waiting area provides a simple and hassle free solution and helps you to ensure your business adheres to relevant legislation surrounding air care.

WATER AND ENERGY CONTROL Washroom hygiene HAND DRYER GOING GREEN Having an energy efficient, environmentally friendly washroom can impress visitors and save you money. There are a range of ways you can reduce costs in your washroom from water saving equipment to energy efficient dryers and autostop taps. We have applied our innovative technology to create a range of these solutions for our customers. Our new mats are made with ECONYL yarn. ECONYL yarn is a 100% regenerated and regenerable Nylon 6, made from waste, such as fluff from carpets, textiles and recovered fishing nets disposed in the sea. So our mats are not only helping to keep your floors clean, they are helping to clean up the ocean. From systems that reduce water consumption in toilets and urinals, to unique energy-saving hand dryers, we have solutions to suit all organisations whatever their environmental needs. Our FLOWSAVER urinal water management control system can save up to 80% (with an average of 70%) of water when compared to an uncontrolled cistern and up to 30% against an unintelligent system (dependent upon urinal usage).

It s also about managing the less obvious, dayto-day dirt that is part of being human. And in everyday life we regularly collect dirt on our shoes, taking it with us wherever we go. Patients, visitors and employees walk along busy streets where there are pigeons, seagulls and dogs and will bring this dirt, as well as grease, soil, mud, soot, hair, glass and skin into your premises. All of this dirt can be captured by mats placed in the areas of highest footfall, helping to prevent it from spreading throughout the building. Our mats also help to avoid slips and trips at work by soaking up water that can lead to wet and slippery floors, so you can avoid unnecessary and potentially costly accidents in the workplace both in terms of money and lost hours. Our unique mat products carry the Royal Warrant. As well as providing suitable mats for your business, we also launder them, making sure that they continue to function effectively, trapping dirt and retaining moisture. Not only do our unique mat products carry the Royal Warrant, we also help protect the environment by providing mats made from Econyl - a recycled material using fishing nets and plastics disposed in the ocean.
