The Importance of Hand Hygiene and How Soap Dispensers Can Help

Hand hygiene is important in today’s busy world. Germs and bacteria are everywhere, on keyboards, door handles, rails, surfaces, and more, whether that be in your office, in a commercial kitchen, or a public space. Our first defence against illness is handwashing, but let’s face it, traditional methods of hand hygiene such as soap bottles or bars are messy and unhygienic. That is where the convenience of soap dispensers comes in with both a convenient and sanitary solution. 

In the below blog, we will cover the importance of hand hygiene and how soap dispensers, such as those supplied and serviced by Hygiene Concepts, are the right solution for you. 

Why is Hand Hygiene Important?

On any given day, our hands make contact with numerous surfaces, picking up germs and bacteria. These microscopic hitchhikers can transfer to our faces or food, possibly leading to illnesses such as colds, flu, or even serious infections.

For this reason, proper handwashing using both soap and water is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs and illnesses throughout your office, school, and business and keep everyone healthy. 

Studies have shown that washing your hands for 15 seconds with soap and water can reduce the bacterial count on your hands by 90%. While another 15 seconds can almost eliminate the bacteria. 

The Importance of Soap Dispensers

Soap dispensers play a vital role in promoting effective hand hygiene.

  • Improved Hygiene: Dispensers eliminate the need to touch a potentially contaminated soap bar, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Reduced Waste: Many dispensers use pre-measured portions of soap, minimising waste compared to bar soap.
  • Convenience and Efficiency: Dispensers are quick and easy to use, encouraging frequent handwashing.
  • Variety of Options: Choose from automatic soap dispensers for touchless soap dispensers or manual dispensers for a more elegant method.
