For hand washing and disinfection
Handwashing, whether simple washing or disinfection, requires a standardized product as well as a proper drying protocol using paper towels or an electric hand dryer . Hand-borne contamination depends not only on correctly using the product and respecting the contact time, but also on thoroughly drying hands, fingers, and forearms to ensure perfect hygiene .
Which distribution system should I choose?
Before choosing an antiseptic soap or alcohol gel, the distribution system solution must be determined first.
You can choose between a refillable (cartridge) soap or gel dispenser system or a direct (bulk) filling system.
The refillable dispenser offers the advantage of being completely hygienic, allowing for quick and clean refill replacement, and preventing refilling errors. It also enables better control of consumption thanks to its more energy-efficient design. The drawback is its proprietary nature, as the dispenser only accepts the specific brand of refill for which it was designed.
The direct-fill (bulk) dispenser has the advantage of being economical (price per liter) and not tied to a particular brand or system. However, some drawbacks remain, such as less-than-ideal hygiene requiring regular cleaning, a risk of product mix-up, and more cumbersome refilling with disinfectant or hand sanitizer.
Which disinfectant soap distribution system should I choose?
The range of professional-grade disinfectant soap and alcohol-based hand sanitizer is currently very broad, with several major manufacturers on the market, the most recognized being Deb (now SC Johnson), Tork, Anios, Rubbermaid, etc. Recent epidemics have highlighted the importance of hand hygiene to significantly reduce virus transmission. The implementation of a disinfectant soap dispenser and hand sanitizer is no longer in question. Installing a paper towel dispenser or an electric hand dryer complements this protocol.
What type of handwashing do you need?
Once the distribution system has been chosen, it is necessary to define the need in terms of effective hand hygiene.
A distinction must be made between a simple washing operation, a washing operation including disinfection , or disinfection with a hydroalcoholic solution or gel .
A simple wash will be perfectly suitable for routine use in less sensitive environments (tertiary environment) and will be sufficient to reduce the risk of hand-borne contamination.
Washing with a disinfectant formula is recommended for healthcare professionals, those in the food service industry, and those in professions and/or personnel with repeated contact with the public. This type of soap exhibits antimicrobial, bactericidal, and antiseptic activity , the standards for which are specified on each product label. Since soap is disinfectant, it falls under the Biocidal Products Regulation and must therefore be used with caution.
Liquid, foam, solution or gel, what's the difference?
Soap and disinfectant gel can come in various forms. Once the dispensing system is chosen, the type of texture of soap or gel to be dispensed must be selected.
There are liquid formulas in gel form, liquid formulas in solution form, and foam.
Liquid or cream soap is the most common type for handwashing. The price per liter is often a deciding factor in this case.
Disinfectant soap or hydroalcoholic solution dispensed in foam form offers several advantages. First, it saves up to 35% on product . It also saves up to 45% on water. Because the user uses less product, they are also exposed to fewer skin irritations and allergic reactions.
