Antibacterial – This category collects the 5-litre canisters of antibacterial products, most often hand cleansing preparations intended for washbasin positions. They are specified for public washrooms, kitchen and back-of-house areas, treatment rooms and anywhere the property applies a defined hand hygiene procedure alongside its standard cosmetics range.
When enquiring, state the products, the positions they serve and the documentation required, since products of this type are usually procured against a written hygiene procedure. Composition, directions for use and the available documentation are shown on each product page.
Antibacterial: procurement considerations
- Intended positions: basin and back-of-house hand hygiene rather than the shower line; keep these positions separate from the guest cosmetics
- Documentation: ask for the product documentation and safety data sheet during procurement, as hygiene audits normally require them on file
- Directions for use: these products are used according to the stated method and contact time, which should be communicated to the staff using them
- Dispenser choice: select a pump format for basin positions so that the product can be taken one-handed at the point of use
