COVER STORY
technology that optimises energy, therefore eliminating the need to change the batteries during the life of the dispenser in most installations.
GOJO CONTROLLED COLLAPSE bottles are engineered to hold their shape while emptying. The bottles remain flat to the surface of the large sight windows at the front of the dispensers, making it easy to monitor soap levels at a glance but in a more attractive way. GOJO SMART- FLEXTM bottles are made from durable, recyclable PET materials that provide crystal clear clarity while using 30% less material than rigid HDPE versions.
Great care has been taken to reduce the amount of material used in the manufacture of the dispensers. Batteries are pre-installed, meaning that packaging is further reduced, and they cannot be activated until the tag is removed, saving energy. With the ADX and LTX dispensers, recycling is also made easier thanks to the refill hosting a recyclable pump that can be easily removed once the refill is empty.
FORMULATION AND
FUNCTIONALITY MATTER Efficacy is of course an important issue, so only those companies who can prove the effectiveness of their soaps or 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 employees can use the products again and again, knowing that their hands will be kept in good condition.
PURELL Advanced Hygienic Hand Rub combines exceptional antimicrobial efficacy and is clinically proven to maintain skin health. It helps reduce the risk of transmitting harmful germs via the hands and is a perfect complement to routine hand washing, adding an extra level of protection after or in-between washes.
THE RIGHT REFILLS When a company invests in a hand

expect it to deliver the highest standards of cleanliness, resulting in the increased well-being of their workforce. They certainly would not expect their employees to leave the washroom with more germs on their hands than before they washed them – and this is why the method used to refill dispensers is such a crucial consideration.
A bulk fill dispenser is one where the soap is poured into an open reservoir at the top of the unit. Because the reservoir is open to the environment, bacteria can contaminate the soap, which leads to the formation of a bacterial biofilm on the inside of the dispenser. Biofilms are groups of bacteria that coat surfaces and are difficult to wash off or ‘kill’. Because the biofilm is formed on the inside of the dispenser it leads to bacterial contamination of any new soap that is subsequently added to the dispenser.
This doesn’t make for comfortable reading, but there is an alternative. SANITARYSEALED™ 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. The hygiene and health benefits are obvious – and in addition they also make for efficient use of time for hard- pressed maintenance staff, because they are so much simpler and quicker to replace.
By investing in the best hand hygiene solutions, you not only protect your facilities, but also demonstrate your commitment to improving the well-being of your employees, and your dedication to providing the very best service.
