WASHROOM A SENSORY DISPENSARY
Mike Sullivan, Managing Director of GOJO Industries Europe Ltd discusses the importance of a decent dispenser system for your services.
The right products and systems play a critical role in the promotion of hand hygiene. Creating a healthy environment can be as simple as getting your washroom facilities right. Cleaner buildings help to enhance the image of the facility and can also reduce staff absenteeism.
“THE BEST PRODUCTS WILL SUCCESSFULLY
COMBINE SOOTHING, MOISTURISING INGREDIENTS.”
Research shows that ¼ of people who use the washroom do not wash their hands, and 46% of people who do wash, don’t wash long enough to be effective. Germs on their hands can then be transferred to other surfaces throughout a building. Additionally, occupants believe door handles are unclean, and many use paper towels to open the door and then throw them on the floor. As a result, building image and appearance suffers.
Using products that both look and feel good can greatly enhance the washroom experience and they can also play a major role in encouraging healthy hand hygiene behaviour. In order to be truly successful, systems need to combine good aesthetics and accessibility, whilst being equipped with pleasant and effective hygienically advanced formulations. Hence, dispensers that look good, are easy to use, and are installed at convenient locations, are bound to be more popular.
The use of innovative technology also helps, such as touch-free dispensers that intuitively sense the presence of hands and dispense just the right amount of product every time. The fact that they are ‘touch-free’ also increases their hygiene rating.
Efficacy is, of course, an important issue, so only those companies who can prove the effectiveness of their soaps or their hand rubs against germs through independent scientific testing should be considered. The best products will successfully combine this with soothing, moisturising ingredients that are gentle on the skin, meaning that the products can be used again and again, safe in the knowledge that hands will be kept in good condition.

standards – will mean that people see hand washing as an enjoyable experience rather than a chore.
GOJO® dispensers are easy to service
and built to last and have been designed to appeal to the end user, helping to create a positive lasting impression of your facility. This is a key factor in helping to maintain and, where possible, increase hand hygiene compliance.
Two of the most popular dispenser models from the GOJO range are the LTXTM – the Lifetime Performance Dispenser (touch-free) and the ADXTM – the Anywhere Design Dispenser. Both the LTX and the ADX systems carry the GOJO Lifetime Performance Guarantee; a dependability promise that includes the batteries in the touch- free model. This is made possible by the use of Smart, Trouble- Free Electronics, technology that optimises energy use, therefore eliminating the need to change the batteries during the life of the dispenser in most installations.
“¼ OF PEOPLE WHO USE
THE WASHROOM DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS.”
SANITARY SEALED™ refills are increasing in popularity because the product inside is protected from contamination as it is factory sealed and includes a fresh valve with each refill. All GOJO and PURELL® refills are SANITARY SEALED. This means that the soap is never open to the environment and so cross contamination from the air or other sources is prevented.
By enhancing the washroom experience, not only will you reduce the risk of germs spreading, you can reduce staff absenteeism and improve the image of your building.
