Clean & Very User-Friendly –

Traditional hand soap dispensing setups involving either a hand pump or a bar of soap often involve two hands to use. This exposes you to significantly more of other people\’s germs, which may possibly not be rinsed off should you wash your hands too quickly, which is incredibly typical. The excellent thing about these newer hand soap dispensers is that they do not require you to touch a lot of your hand soap dispenser at all in order to get some soap. A lot of people just use the heel of one hand to dispense the hand soap, meaning the amount of germs you might be touching that has been touched by many other individuals is really small. Moreover, it is relatively cheap these days to purchase ‘no-touch hand soap dispensers that contain motion detectors to ensure that the soap is automatically dispensed just by you holding your palm below the dispenser! With these kinds of dispensers, the quantity of surfaces you touch when dispensing soap that many other individuals have touched goes all of the way down to zero! Who doesn\’t would like to get sick less generally? Moreover, most wall-mounted hand soap dispensers today have a built-in device that prevents soap from getting all over the place while being dispensed, which makes cleaning your bathrooms counters much more infrequent and significantly less difficult!

Whenever you buy such refills, most of your cash goes towards the materials: the plastic bottle, plastic pump device, and labels. In the event you opt to use a wall-mounted hand soap dispenser instead, then you are going to only pay for that initial dispenser! Afterwards, you will probably be able to purchase significant amounts of refill soap in a single huge container, which won\’t only be considerably cheaper than a comparable quantity of soap purchased in little individual containers, but will also be kinder towards the environment in addition! Less materials will need to be manufactured, transported, after which it will sit in landfills. So at the end, it turns out it\’s smart, low cost, and kind towards the planet to change to wall-mounted hand soap dispensers!

Toilet Tissue – There are many types of tissue and dispensers that can be used, but the important part is that the dispenser be place strategically near the toilet so it is convenient to reach and use the tissue and that there is always a current roll and a back up roll so that you are never without any tissue.
2. Hand Soap – Hand Soap is critical for proper cleaning before exiting the rest room and must be in a clean dispensing unit.  The level of soap in the dispenser should be monitored daily and should be change or added any time there is less than one day’s supply in the dispenser.
3. Hand Towels - Drying of your hand is important in the cleaning process and proper supplies of a hand towel must be available to complete the drying process.  Levels of available supply must be monitored daily and should be added or replace when levels are below daily use.  The dispenser should be maintained replacing batteries for a automatic dispenser as needed and keeping the dispenser clean and sanitary so the user is not contaminated trying to retrieve the towels.

Types of Can Liners

There are two major types of can liners, low density and high density.   If you are looking for a stretchable bag that won’t “seam” tear, you are looking for a low density bag.  High density bags are a great way to save money when used in the correct locations.  An  example of great uses of high density is an office or restroom where you are moving primarily paper and won’t have exposed sharp edges to tear the bag.  You can get many varied degrees of thickness of can liners so is important to match the thickness of the bag with the usage of the bag so that you are not disappointed with the results is safely  transporting the trash.

Selecting and purchase of your can liners online makes life easier for you and gives you a chance to review all the options available.  Matching the correct sizes with your container is a breeze as bags are listed by dimensions.  Great Western Supply carries a full line of available types and sizes and is ready to ship them out to you.

A few businesses use bar soap which requires that the user touch the contaminants that were left by the previous user in order to use the method. Although efficient for cost usage, the risk of cross contamination makes this delivery system less than desirable for public areas. Hand soap dispenser systems can deliver both efficient cost delivery systems as well as improvement in sanitation.

Hand soap dispensers come in two basic types, closed system and open system. Open system deliver means that you have a container that opens and soap can be poured into the container. The lid is reapplied and then the user pushes or pulls a lever for the dispensing action. Closed delivery systems mean that a container filled with the soap is inserted into the dispenser. If you utilize an open delivery system, we highly recommend that the container be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before refilling each time. This helps to avoid the chance for mold or bacteria to get into the soap and to grow in the container. The closed system avoids any possible contamination coming from the soap but the dispenser should also be cleaned regularly.

The action necessary for the user to complete the dispensing action falls in two different methods, automatic sensors and lever action. Lever action dispensers require that the user push or pull a lever to dispense the soap. The act of touching a lever can be a source of cross contamination and if you use one of these you should wash your hand vigorously to be sure that you have removed any contamination. The other deliver method of hand soap from a dispenser is automatic sensors that will automatically deliver a measured amount when you put your hand in front of the dispenser. This is the most effective method of avoiding cross contamination with your hand soap delivery system.

Paper towel

Paper towel dispensers can come in many different types.  The towels themselves can be flat like a c-fold or multifold or come on rolls.  The dispensers for the roll towels can be pull type or automatic sensor to manual lever action.  Speaking from a purely cleanliness point of view, the optimum process for the least chance of spreading germs and bacteria to others is to have a system that the user does not have to touch any area that was previously touched by another patron.

The best solution to this is the Touch Free Dispenser which allows the patron to simply get their hand close to the sensor and activate the dispensing of a towel and does not need to touch anything.  These are battery operated and if properly maintained and last for years and provide thousands of towels.  Another option is the center pull towel dispenser which allows the patron to pull the towel down and tear it without touching the surface of the dispenser.  Both of these are great options for reducing the spread of germs and bacteria in the restroom or any wash area settings.

Bio-Based Green Cleaning Products

You have no doubt been hearing a lot lately about the preferred use of ‘green’ cleaning products. Using the term ‘green’ is supposed to indicate that they are environmentally friendly, not their actual color. Even the large soap companies like Proctor and Gamble and Johnson and Johnson have jumped on the bandwagon with what they are calling ‘safe’ and ‘natural’. But there are concerns among professionals and laymen alike as to just what exactly these terms mean. 

What Is Meant By Safe And Natural? 

Just because something is ‘natural’ does not mean it is safe. For example, rattlesnake venom is of course ‘natural’ (found in nature), but who in their right mind would consider it ‘safe’? So what does all of this mean to the normal consumers? Should they still be investigating bio-based green cleaners? Absolutely! They just need to be very aware of what they are finding.

What About Commercial Cleaners And Soaps?

If you were to search the Internet with the phrase ‘making your own soap’ you would quickly discover web site after web site that provides information on making and using so-called natural cleaners. Most of those sites simply copy each other and include similar postings by individuals who have a formula for making ‘safe and natural cleaners and soaps’. In most cases, they will suggest that using commercial cleaners will cause cancer, asthma, skin rashes, and even death. And they may be right. But what they offer as alternatives may be just as dangerous. For example, many of these natural cleaner formulas contain rubbing alcohol, washing soda (Borax), commercial liquid hand soap, vinegar, and fragrances to make it all smell good. And they tell you to add tap water to dilute them for everyday use. 

Alcohol – Ingestion or inhalation of rubbing alcohol is dangerous and toxic to the central nervous system.

Washing Soda – Highly alkaline and can cause severe skin rashes and burning, especially to those with skin conditions and allergies.

Liquid Hand Soap – Most of these (even the ‘oil’ soaps) contain potassium hydroxide which can cause acute poisoning if ingested, including severe pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and collapse. Cancer may be a long term effect.

Vinegar – An acidic liquid processed from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid. Vinegar can cause a severe reaction when applied to the skin and can cause burning of tissue in the eyes and nose.

Fragrances – Many people are very allergic to man made fragrances such as those found in commercial cleaners. Snakes and rodents are repelled and even killed by inhaling these fragrances in lab tests. Even the so-called natural fragrances named essential oils are highly concentrated forms of potentially toxic plant chemicals.

Tap Water – Usually contains alkalines, lead, chlorine, and other toxic materials in low doses.

Are these the ingredients you want to have in your ‘safe’ and ‘natural’ cleaners? 

How About The Bio-Based Cleaners? 

Bio-based cleaners are those produced using only safe organic ingredients found in nature. Yes, they are called ‘natural’ too. But they are non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-corrosive, non-abrasive, non-alcohol, non-polluting, and contain no fragrances. The usual ingredients include (but are not limited to) vegetable oils, vegetable and plant-based enzymes and minerals, coconut oil, and natural vanilla, mixed with de-ionized, purified, and/or distilled water. They are so safe they can be rinsed down any drain or disposed of in bodies of water including ponds and lakes without having any effect on aquatic life or plants. 

‘But what would happen if my child should drink some’? Very simply – nothing! Because the cleaners do break down organic materials the child may experience some mild diarrhea if he/she recently ate a large meal containing fatty foods, but it will quickly disappear. 

Bio-based cleaners do not require any warning labels on their containers and no special handling. On most commercial cleaners you will see a warning to ‘Keep out of the reach of children’ because those other cleaners do contain toxic chemicals. 

Bio-based cleaners were originally formulated for those people who are chemically sensitive, hyper allergenic, have compromised immune systems, or just environmentally concerned. While they certainly surpass those requirements, they have also become very popular recently with those seeking an alternative to the dangerous, toxic chemicals that are being sold today as ‘safe’ and ‘natural’ cleaners.
