Your hands could be getting germier after washing with a contaminated dispenser, significantly increasing the chances of infections and sickness. 1 in 4 refillable soap dispensers are currently contaminated.
Refillable soap dispensers are prone to contamination. It can be caused by “topping up” a dispenser and/or an infrequent dispensing unit cleaning program. By design, refillable hand soap dispensers are open to the elements which allow the hand soap to interact with:
- Contaminants from hands
- Contaminants from the air
- Possible external contaminants such as bugs
Contaminated hand wash is ineffective and dangerous, below are some examples of contaminated dispensing units.
Some warning signs include:
- A bad smell with the hand soap
- Discolouration of the hand soap
- Bugs and other contaminants in the hand soap
- Mould growing in the dispensing unit
