Tork provides the solution
for school washrooms
C
hildren need every encouragement to wash and dry their hands
after using the toilet to avoid the risk of cross contamination.
SCA Tissue Europe provides a complete solution for school washrooms.
Tork soaps, hand towel rolls and toilet tissue systems are designed to
minimise cross-contamination and are housed in lockable dispensers to
prevent vandalism.
New out this year (2010) is Tork Premium liquid soap in a completely
sealed cartridge to protect the soap from contamination. A University of
Arizona study has revealed that 25 per cent of bulk refillable soap
dispensers contain unsafe levels of bacteria.
The new cartridge takes only a few seconds to replace and the recyclable
cartridge is collapsible which reduces the volume of waste by 70 per cent.
All Tork soaps are paraben-free and triclosan-free and contain only
natural preservatives. Soaps particularly suitable for schools are Tork
Premium mild, Tork Premium extra mild and Tork Premium extra hygiene
which conforms to the EN1499 and reduces bacteria by 99.9 per cent.
Also ideal for schools is the high-capacity Tork hand towel roll.
The dispenser presents only one sheet at a time, dramatically
reducing consumption while ensuring that each pupil touches
only the towel they use.
Tork Advanced green hand towel rolls are particularly suitable
for schools since these are an economical, recycled option.
Also highly suitable for school washrooms is The Tork
Compact Auto Shift toilet tissue system which comprises two
compact long-lasting rolls. When the first roll is used up the
second automatically shifts into place, preventing the problem of
toilet paper running out between maintenance checks.
