Sensor-operated Soap Dispensers

It is a great feeling of security when using a sensor-operated soap dispenser especially in a public restroom. Even in the home having a touchless soap dispenser is essential when handling food, particularly meats like chicken or fish. Salmonella and e.coli from contaminated food can really make you very sick.

There are two types of soap dispensers for restrooms and institutions. One type can be mounted like a faucet on the countertop. It looks like a faucet. Other dispensers are mounted on the wall. Both types use either a foam soap or a liquid soap. These soap dispensers can be used in the home also.

In addition to wall and countertop mounted dispensers there are models that stand on the kitchen, bathroom, or restaurant countertop. These automatic devices use batteries that can last through many uses. Any touchfree step in the process of handwashing like sensor-operated soap dispensers eliminates some cross-contamination of germs.

Travel With A Sanitizer

In this day of international travel where people from all over the world use the airlines, rent cars, stay in motels, and ride trains and buses it makes sense that we should avoid coming in contact with disease causing germs from these sources. Hygiene standards can vary quite a bit in different cultures. Awareness of microbes on objects does not exist in some parts of the world. Yet we can possibly interact with these individuals by touching things that they have handled.

This cross-contamination can be avoided by using a sanitizer. Ultraviolet sanitizers come in small and large sizes. They employ ultraviolet light to destroy microbes. The light waves interfere with the reproductive stage and so eliminate these germs. Holding the device over the area to be sanitized usually takes seconds to be affective. A pocket size purifier is very handy and can be carried in a purse or upper pocket. Airlines do not clean between passengers. A quick once over on head rests and arm rests can be accomplished easily with one of these miniature wands. Use it on the interior of a rental car also.

For items in your motel room a larger wand is recommended for the toilet seat, faucet handles, doorknobs, phones, menus and other reading material, and last but not least, the TV remote. The remote has been cultured and pronounced dirtier than a toilet seat. Maintenance crews never clean the remotes. The full size sanitizer wand covers a larger area and can be packed in your luggage. It does not take a germaphobe to realize that with more global travel we also have more global germs, so sanitizing is a preventive way of avoiding sickness, especially from foreign germs.

Workplace Keyboards

Many of us work in an office or industry where we have to use a computer. Often there are multiple users on that computer or computers. Each person contributes his or her own microbes that are present on their hands. At times these microbes are disease-causing germs. Colds and flus can be spread in this manner. Bacteria like e.coli are a threat when people who use the restroom omit handwashing and then type on the keyboard. Sickdays taken by workers can be expensive so preventing illness should be a motivating factor.

One method of doing this is to provide waterproof keyboards in the workplace. These keyboards can be washed with solutions or disinfected with wipes. Some can even be washed in the dishwasher. Disinfectant wipes can clean the keyboards between users and a thorough washing or disinfectant solution can be used at the end of the workday.

Automatic Tank Toilet Flusher

Most people have seen an automatic toilet flusher in a public restroom. They are installed in offices, schools, airports, hospitals, and other work areas. We have come to expect them in these places. We appreciate the fact that we do not have to touch germs left behind by others. As we move away from the toilet, the sensor-operated flusher goes to work.

Are you aware that this modern technology is available on tank type toliets as well? These tank toilets are present in some public restrooms as well as in the home. In the home bathroom germs are left on surfaces by family members and also visitors that use the facility. When a family member is sick, there is a chance of spreading the illness as he or she uses the bathroom. Who knows what germs are left behind by visitors. Little tots who are not aware of microbes are not that careful about personal hygiene and may contribute to the contamination. For these reasons an automatic tank toliet flusher would be a sanitary addition to the bathroom. They are easily installed and the batteries last a long time. There is an allowance for manual operation as well. Watch the installation video on the site below.

What peace of mind there is in using a sensor-operated soap dispenser,

Automatic Toilet Flushers

What a good feeling it is when we don't have to struggle to flush a toilet in a public restroom. When the establishment has installed sensor-operated, automatic toilet flushers, we don't have to use our foot or toilet tissue to avoid cross-contamination. That's what I call taking care of your customers.

Remember to face away from the water which can spray up to twenty feet. I watched a demonstration to prove that this happens. The scientist dyed the water red so that the droplets that spray out would be visible. You don't want to get sprayed so simply turn around and move away .

There are devices available for home toilets also. They are wireless ,ensuring that toilets are always flushed, clean, odor-free and presentable . They simply install to the tank plumbing mechanism. The flexible installation fits most tank designs. They have the same reliable motor and cam gear technology used in autoflushing and. the tank handle remains operable for courtesy flushing.

Waterproof Keyboards

Today computers are used in all kinds of places. hospitals, business offices, dental offices, medical offices, industrial settings, schools, colleges, government buildings, prisons, banks, and much more. In many of these workplaces, the computers are manned by multiple users. Each of these users not only contaminates the keyboard with many microbes but also that user picks up germs left by others. Some of those pathogens can cause disease. and unfortunately often do spread colds and flus between workers. When microbial cultures were grown from the keyboard surfaces, they proved that keyboards were more contaminated than toilet seats.
Sickdays are lost work hours and can be costly. Preventing illness is the answer. Protecting against the spread of germs means disinfecting phones, desks, doorknobs, elevator buttons and other items that are touched by everyone. Computer keyboards are the biggest offenders when it comes to coming in contact with germs. They don’t have to be since modern technology has developed washable, waterproof keyboards that can even be put through a dishwasher that includes the final heat cycle. These keyboards are covered with a seamless, silicone shield. In the home setting, families can avoid sickness by putting the keyboard in the dishwasher. They can be sanitized with disinfectant wipes in between worker use also. Some added benefits to using these keyboards are quiet operation where noise should be avoided, backlighting, and cable length options. Spills or accidents will not damage these keyboards, but the greatest benefit to having a waterproof keyboard is the feeling of security that comes with avoiding disease-causing germs.
