How you keep
your facility clean and disinfected is subject to more rigorous scrutiny.”
the regular protocols that support compliance with government and local health regulations specific to COVID-19.
Cost and sustainability savings
According to ISSA, the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, dispensing equipment that delivers accurate dilutions reduces cleaning costs up to 30%. The right system will help you eliminate overuse of chemical and water, thereby helping to reduce both the cost and environmental impact of cleaning without sacrificing performance. To the extent more frequent cleaning is needed, chemical dispensers play a vital role in helping to prevent labour costs from getting out of control.
Some advanced dispensing systems utilise the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance transparency and eliminate unnecessary visits to the site. Understanding chemical usage and shortage, as well as any alarms triggered throughout the process, can further smooth the operation. Using advanced equipment will help to identify any patterns and abnormalities before they become a costly or dangerous problem. Being able to conduct preventative maintenance will also help to increase the lifespan of your equipment.
Making the right choice
There are several important points to consider before investing in a chemical dispensing system. To make the best choice for your facility, consider:
• The number of chemicals used – Make a list of the types of chemicals that you use most within your business. Review new cleaning standards and requirements for your area and identify any new chemicals that you’ll be using to enhance cleanliness. Some dispensers are designed to handle only one or two chemicals, while others have multiple channel configurations to deliver many chemicals. This will enable you to meet your immediate dispensing needs but can also help you plan for the possibility of increased capacity in the future.
• How the dispenser will be used – Determine who will use the system and how often. Identify whether the dispenser will be used to fill bottles and buckets, larger

equipment such as auto scrubbers or foamers and sprayers. Keep in mind that dispensers are a key way to control labour costs when more frequent cleanings are necessary.
• Where to install the system – With the requirement for more regular cleaning, it’s important to identify an accessible area to install a dispenser. To maximise space, look for dispensers with a small, compact design and a wall-mount option. Consider installing dispensers near high touchpoint areas and common areas, making it easy for staff to access and use the system. Pre- wired dispensers allow for quick installation and can be programmed to minimise downtime.
• Water flow and pressure requirements – Water flow and pressure can vary from building to building, and even from one area in a facility to another. Facilities without water pressure regulation can run into the issue of inconsistent dilution rates. To manage high water pressure, look for a dispensing system with a component to regulate the pressure and eliminate dilution variance by controlling the amount of water allowed into the unit.
•
Investing in a smart system – Search for a smart system offering features such as predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and automated adjustments. It’s also important to invest in accessories like depletion alarms and wands to measure and report when product runs low. These features provide extra reassurance for the times when you’re unable to physically be in your facility and maximise dispensing capabilities.
The right supplier
A new era of cleanliness has begun, making it more important than ever to establish a strategic partnership with suppliers you can trust. Solutions that ensure accurate, safe and cost-effective dosing will enable you and your employees to clean with confidence post-COVID-19. Defining and maintaining a better approach to cleaning and hygiene is crucial to uphold your reputation, enhance your employee’s wellbeing and support the bottom line as you reopen your facility.
