Cleanliness is a top priority in an office, shop, restaurant, hotel, or any facility. However, COVID-19 has heightened this priority as hand washing is a safety protocol used to stop the spread of the virus.

As a business, you will need to provide your staff and customers safe and effective ways to sanitize their hands. Soap dispensers help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria and provide a level of safety. They also help reduce illnesses and sick days among your staff thus boosting productivity.

On a practical matter, soap dispensers not only make washing hands easy they also offer an economical way to store soap. And they are a good alternative to the traditional soap that gets slippery and messy.

Besides offering some peace of mind some soap dispensers also offer aesthetics and decor to washrooms, clinics, and other public places. We have narrowed down some of the best soap dispensers to this list.

How to Choose the Right Soap Dispenser 

  • Manual Vs. Automatic Dispensers: Manual soap dispensers require less maintenance and upkeep compared to automatic dispensers. They are relatively cost-effective, don’t need a power source and help users to determine how much soap they want to dispense into their hands. Automatic dispensers for their part help maintain a clean facility by reducing cross-contamination between users. Because they are touchless, they are sanitary and help stop the spread of bacteria and germs. Automatics dispensers use sensors, which also makes them more efficient.
  • Countertop VS wall mount: Countertop soap dispensers are OK if you plan to move your dispenser from room to room. But risk getting knocked off the counters or being stolen. Wall-mounted dispensers do not risk getting knocked off countertops and are great in places where there is high traffic. Wall-mounted dispensers can easily be fitted into walls and offer reliability and security.
  • Durability: Look for stainless steel or plastic for long-lasting dispensers. And whether is automatic or manual, make sure the mechanism is well made, it is easy to clean, and refill.
  • Liquid vs. foaming soap dispensers: Liquid soap dispensers produce liquid soap while a foaming soap dispenser mixes the soap with air to deliver a soap lather. This is more of a personal choice, but liquid soap is touted to encourage users to rub their hands to produce a rich lather which can help to reduce microbial load in the process. Some dispensers will only work with one or the other. Other models may be able to dispense both. Make sure the dispenser you are looking at is compatible with your chosen hand soap before you buy it.

 

Cartridges vs. Manual Refills and Capacity

There are two main ways to refill soap dispensers, cartridges, and manual bulk refills. The easier and cheaper option is the manual refill where the soap is filled manually into the dispenser from a larger bottle of soap. With cartridges, you simply need to swap them out whenever they run empty. If your soap dispenser requires cartridges make sure they are easily available.

The capacity of the soap dispensers will help you determine how long it will last before a refill. Soap dispensers with low storage capacities will mean you will need more frequent refills. Also, look for dispensers that have a transparent refill indicator so you will know how much soap is available.

Soap Dispensers are Essential

A good soap dispenser is an essential part of any washroom. In these hygiene-sensitive times, automatic dispensers help provide peace of mind and they keep washrooms clean.

With soap dispensers, you don’t just stop the soap inside from getting dirty, but the dispenser also acts as protection against other forms of contamination. Best of all it is an affordable tool you can easily install in your washroom.

Soap dispensers come in many styles and shapes. When choosing one, keep in mind that it must be suitable and appropriate for the space you are going to use it in. A small office and warehouse have different requirements, so choose accordingly to get the best out of the dispenser.
