Paper hand towel dispensers save time because they allow the user to take out a towel and move aside, freeing up space and reducing the risk of logjams. Dispensers should ideally be high-capacity to prevent run-outs and ensure that a new towel automatically appears ready for use, since precious seconds will be wasted if the towel can only be accessed via a push-button or lever.
Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel has been designed to speed up hand drying because the towels are dispensed in a continuous loop, allowing the washroom visitor to take a towel and step away. The unit also serves more than 1,000 guests between refills which means that run-outs are never an issue, even in busy periods.
Another system that’s particularly suitable in theme parks and zoos is Tork EasyCube. This works by means of sensors placed inside dispensers and on washroom surfaces, which keep a constant check on refill and traffic levels. The data is then uploaded to the internet where cleaning staff can access it via a smartphone or tablet.
Among the latest theme parks to switch on to the benefits of data-driven cleaning is Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay in Louisville, Kentucky. Tork EasyCube provides cleaning managers with an overview of staff activity which helps them to make better-informed decisions, while the park’s entire stock and maintenance process is being streamlined by the software.
Tork EasyCube has also resulted in higher customer satisfaction levels and fewer complaints at Sweden’s Furuvik Zoo and the Apenheul Primate Park in the Netherlands. And in a recent survey at the Gröna Lund theme park in Stockholm, the customer satisfaction index registered an all-time high – with figures well above 80% – for having clean and fresh toilets.
Meanwhile, cleaning teams at these attractions report having more time to carry out other important cleaning tasks since Tork EasyCube was installed as they are no longer spending most of their time checking dispensers.
There are other measures that attraction managers can employ to ease the cleaner’s task. For example, all dispensers for toilet tissue, hand towels and soap should offer a high capacity and limit consumption to reduce the risk of run-outs during visiting hours.
The Tork SmartOne works well in these environments since the dispenser is designed to give out just one sheet of toilet tissue at a time. This can reduce consumption by up to 40% and minimises the risk of run-outs.
Many high-traffic washrooms use liquid soaps that are refilled from bulk fill dispensers. However, these are time- consuming to replenish and may also lead to messy spills on the floor and units.
A highly suitable soap solution for busy theme park washrooms is Tork Foam Soap, which comes in a cartridge that can be clicked into place within seconds. Each refill contains roughly two and a half times the number of shots housed in a liquid soap cartridge which means the supply lasts much longer.
Ensuring that the washrooms of outdoor summer attractions remain clean and well stocked at all times can be a challenge. But with a combination of well-chosen systems, high-capacity dispensers and a connected solution such as Tork EasyCube, it is perfectly possible to improve the washroom situation for everyone – the visitors, management and the staff alike.
