Use Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitisers

If you are using hand sanitisers in your daily routine then you are already one step ahead of staying safe from diseases. But there are two types of hand sanitisers available in the market, alcohol and non-alcohol based hand sanitisers.  According to the WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines with regard to the coronavirus (COVID-19) virus, alcohol-based hand sanitisers have been proven successful especially if the alcohol consistency is above 60%. Anything below that is not considered to be the safest in eliminating the virus.

Make sure that the hand sanitiser you are using is alcohol-based and has 60% consistency to be properly protected for the coronavirus.

Initial Hygiene has a range of hand sanitisers in Ireland that are designed to eliminate common disease-causing pathogens and keep you safe. Our range is perfect for businesses and areas that observe a high influx of visitors.

Use Automatic Hand Sanitiser Dispensers

The most common mode of transmission for germs is by contaminating your hands and they entering your body when you touch your face with the contaminated hands. While the use of hand sanitiser is useful, constant touching and sharing of hand sanitisers can compromise its surface and increase the likelihood of contaminating your hands.

To combat this situation. Initial Hygiene has designed a range of Non-Touch Automatic Hand Sanitiser Dispensers. Automatic hand sanitiser dispensers and sanitiser stands are designed with sensors that automatically dispense sanitiser liquid without the need of touching the dispenser in any way.

This is why automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are currently the most sought-after type of hand sanitiser in the market, especially for businesses.

Install The Hand Sanitiser In The Right Location

You can install as many hand sanitisers in your business premises as you want, but it won’t make any difference if people are not using it. To increase the likelihood of your visitors using hand sanitisers you must install them in locations where they interact the most. By installing these hand sanitisers in the right area within your business premises you will also be saving cost and avoid wastage.

Common areas such as entrances, washrooms and exits are the best location to install a hand sanitiser. Freestanding hand sanitiser dispensers are quite ideal for common entrances as they can be easily installed and moved based on your preference.

Wall-mounted hand sanitisers are best for areas that will always require hand hygiene services such as the washroom.
