Soap Dispensers

 Choosing Your Soap Dispenser

Soap dispensers, filled with anti-bacterial soap, are found in every clean restroom. Matter of fact, the soap dispenser is the focal point of many patron complaints when it does not meet their expectations – lack of soap or clogging being at the top of the list. The most common soap dispenser found in public restrooms is the “manual pump” aka push-button soap dispenser; however, the “automatic” or touch-free soap dispenser has gained popularity because they are generally less likely to get dirty or gummed up. Soap dispensers are not only an expected patron convenience but are also a legally required accessory in all public restrooms, especially in all restrooms servicing employees who handle prepared foods. Public or employee restroom soap dispensers should be securely mounted to avoid spillage and theft and should be made of durable materials. Many of the soap dispensers found on the market today are not made to last and function poorly. All soap dispensers are mounted near a water faucet and drain of course, but, the choice of soap dispenser mount and reservoir style can vary widely: Mount - surface, recess or countertop soap dispenser: Reservoir Style - bulk, cartridge, globe, tank or urn soap dispenser. Regardless of the type or style, they all do the same thing, i.e.; dispense antibacterial (preferably) soap for prevention of common communicable sicknesses and diseases (like the flu, common cold and diarrhea). Diseases are frequently spread by unclean hands. Unfortunately, every sort of germ, virus and microscopic creature known to man can be found in restrooms. This makes access to a high quality soap dispenser, supplied with anti-bacterial soap, very important to community health. Therefore, soap dispensers, either manual or automatic, are required by various federal and state health laws and ordinances if your restroom is being used by either employees or the public. The choice of soap dispenser will depend on the physical attributes of your restroom.
