Let Us Show You How Surface Sanitisers Can Improve Hygiene Throughout Your Business
A surface sanitiser dispenser is a wall-mounted hygiene solution that allows users to spray sanitising solution onto tissue or paper towel before wiping shared surfaces. While these dispensers are often associated with toilet seats, their benefits extend to any shared space with frequently touched surfaces. For businesses, they offer a simple way to demonstrate a visible commitment to hygiene while giving employees, customers, and visitors greater confidence when using shared spaces.
In this blog post, we’ll highlight some of the key places where a surface sanitiser dispenser can make the biggest difference.
An Essential Addition to Your Hygiene Practices
Even the cleanest facilities have shared surfaces that are touched by many different people throughout the day. While regular cleaning routines remain essential, a surface sanitiser dispenser gives users the option to clean an area themselves when they want additional reassurance.
This is particularly valuable in customer-facing environments, workplaces, and shared facilities where hygiene standards influence how people perceive the business.
Toilet Cubicles
We couldn’t talk about our surface sanitiser dispenser without highlighting the value of installing one in your toilet cubicle.
Nobody enjoys using an away-from-home toilet. Research has shown that cleanliness concerns have a major impact on how uncomfortable people feel using shared washrooms. In fact, 8 in 10 people avoid public toilets unless abosolutely necessary, and even in the workplace, 1 in 10 employees avoid workplace toilets due to hygiene concerns.
For many, this anxiety comes from the fear of sitting on an unfamiliar toilet seat.
People often find their own ways of dealing with this. Some place toilet paper on the seat or avoid direct contact altogether by hovering. However, these habits can lead to excessive paper waste, mess, or even potential health risks.
Many people feel more comfortable when they can wipe a toilet seat before use, even in facilities that are cleaned regularly. A wall-mounted dispenser positioned directly in the cubicle, next to the toilet paper dispenser, allows users to quickly access sanitising solution when they need it. For businesses, this small addition provides a visible sign that comfort and hygiene are prioritised.
But the best thing about a wall-mounted sanitiser dispenser, is that it’s not just for toilet seats. This multi-purpose unit can also be used on other frequently touched areas, including flush buttons, cubicle locks, and door handles.
Baby Changing Stations
If your business is customer-facing, you may have an area dedicated to families with a baby changing unit and a nappy bin. Parents place a high level of trust in businesses that provide baby changing facilities. A clean, well-maintained changing area can make a significant difference to their overall experience.
Installing a surface sanitiser dispenser next to the changing unit allows parents to wipe it down themselves before use, providing additional reassurance that the area is clean and ready to use. It’s a thoughtful feature that many users appreciate and demonstrates that hygiene has been considered throughout the facility.
Gym and Leisure Centres
Surface sanitiser dispensers can be useful in gym environments as they allow customers to wipe down equipment before and after use.
Shared fitness equipment is used continuously throughout the day, from fitness machines to benches and workout stations. In busy environments, this can increase the likelihood of germs spreading around your facility. Research has found that gym equipment can carry significant levels of bacteria, even suggesting that some treadmills, exercise bikes, and weights could have more germs than a toilet seat.
Providing a surface sanitiser dispenser encourages good hygiene habits and allows members to wipe equipment before or after use. For gyms, this is a visible way to demonstrate care for members and create a cleaner, more welcoming environment.
Treatment Rooms
Beauty clinics, salons, and wellness providers rely on trust. Customers expect treatment environments to be clean, professional, and well maintained. From tanning beds to treatment tables, salon and beauty clinics use a variety of shared surfaces that can benefit from a quick and convenient wipe with sanitising solution between visitors.
A conveniently positioned dispenser provides easy access to sanitising solution for shared surfaces such as sunbeds, massage tables, treatment beds, chairs, and any hard surface. This demonstrates your commitment to maintaining high standards across your treatment spaces.
Shared Workstations
Hot-desking is becoming increasingly common in modern workspaces, and although it has plenty of benefits, it also comes with a higher risk of germs spreading among employees.
Shared workspaces rely on employees maintaining good hygiene habits, however 1 in 10 workers never clean their desks. A surface sanitiser in an accessible location gives employees a quick and easy way to wipe down their workspace before starting work, and again before they leave the desk, ensuring it’s hygienic for the next person. It’s a practical solution that helps support a cleaner and more considerate workplace.
Meeting Rooms
Meeting rooms are another key area where surface sanitiser dispensers can help.
Meeting rooms are often used by multiple teams and visitors throughout the day. A wall-mounted dispenser positioned near the entrance allows staff to quickly wipe meeting tables, chairs, and other shared equipment before use. It’s a simple addition that supports a hygienic and tidy environment.
Staff Kitchens and Break Areas
Our final pick is staff kitchens and break areas. It is important to pay attention to hygiene levels in any food preparation areas.
Communal kitchens are among the busiest shared spaces in many workplaces. A surface sanitiser dispenser makes it easy for staff to wipe down dining tables before eating or freshen work surfaces before preparing food. Shared spaces rely on everyone playing their part in maintaining good hygiene. Providing easy access to a sanitiser dispenser encourages people to leave surfaces clean and ready for the next user.
Reassurace Users by Putting the Power in Their Hands
A surface sanitiser is a simple addition, yet it demonstrates real consideration for both staff and customers. It puts the power in their hands, providing them with the option to give surfaces an additional wipe over to give them confidence in your facilities.
