Resources - Soap Dispenser Buyer’s Guide
How to Choose a Soap Dispenser
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently stated, “Handwashing is like a ‘do it yourself’ vaccine.” All that’s required are five simple steps: Wet, Lather, Scrub, Rinse, and Dry. Everyone wants to be healthy, but in the workplace, a healthy worker is also far more productive. Restrooms, therefore, play a significant role in your company’s productivity and are worth the careful decisions regarding which products you should use.
