Facility managers and cleaning staff should consider the following when putting hand hygiene first as part of restroom care:
Prioritize sustainable products. Select toilet paper, paper towels and facial tissue that are certified by trusted organizations such as Green Seal or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These certifications indicate products are responsibly sourced and safe for both people and the environment. This helps companies lower their carbon footprint, focus on ESG goals, and align with public concern for sustainability.
Keep hand hygiene supplies stocked. Ensure your facility is consistently stocked with essential hand hygiene products, including soap, paper towels, and sanitizing supplies. Opt for third-party-certified products that meet environmental and health standards. A fully stocked restroom supports consistent handwashing and demonstrates your commitment to a well-maintained restroom, as well as mitigating frustration and disappointment when visitors use your facilities.
Use automatic dispensers. Automatic paper towel dispensers provide a hygienic and sustainable restroom solution by reducing high-touch surfaces and limiting the spread of germs. As a result, it reduces unnecessary paper waste and provides a more hygienic solution in comparison to air dryers, saving you money and lessening your environmental impact.
Promote hand hygiene through education. Display clear, engaging signage in restrooms to reinforce proper handwashing practices. Visual reminders near sinks remind occupants of the importance of hand hygiene and demonstrate correct techniques, such as scrubbing hands for at least 20 seconds. Educational signage helps reinforce compliance across your facility and reinforces your commitment to practicing responsible hand hygiene.
Hand hygiene remains crucial to reduce the spread of germs, promote healthy restroom experiences, and leave guests and staff feeling protected when they visit your facility.
