How Useful are Commercial Paper Towel Dispensers?
Businesses these days are looking to save money in every way possible. One of the largest expenses that can easily be reduced is that of sick days. Each year, thousands of dollars are wasted paying employees for work that they are not doing since they are sick at home.
We have all seen people not bothering to wash their hands after using the toilet. Research has found that the reason for this is twofold, with men in particular reporting that they have not got the time to waste standing under a hot air dryer, whilst women are concerned about drying out their hands.
An excellent way to combat these two main complaints is to install a paper towel dispenser in your bathrooms.
However, with a multitude of dispensers for paper towels in the market, it is difficult to wind your way around. This article serves to briefly guide you through the process of choosing your dispenser, finding a piece that suits your own specific business needs.
When choosing an appliance, the following need to be considered:
Material – dispensers come in a wide variety of materials, with the two most popular being stainless steel and chrome. Both are strong and thus resistant to knocks and bumps, with chrome having the advantage of coming in a variety of colors.
Type of towel – there are three main types of paper towels; the roll, the c fold and the multifold. Although the cheapest of the three, it is difficult to pull off the towel in a roll and thus small pieces of paper can end up on the floor, making your bathroom look messy and unhygienic. C- Folds consist of a single paper with double thickness at both sides. Although workable, there is a certain thinness and more than one paper may need be needed. A multifold has the disadvantage of being the most expensive option however as a general rule only one paper is needed, although as the roll, can at times be difficult to pull out.
Manual or motion – To eliminate the difficulty of pulling out the paper, a motion sensor dispenser can be used. This enables a certain amount of paper to be dispensed whenever anyone activates the sensor button, making it a more economical way of using paper.
Overall, commercial paper towel dispensers are an economical choice, providing your bathrooms with not only a hygienic way to wash, but enabling you as a business to optimize your employees health, which must surely be good for you as well as them.
