What is hygiene equipment?

Hygiene equipment refers to tools, machines, and supplies designed to maintain cleanliness, sanitisation, and infection control in workplaces, public spaces, and commercial environments. This includes items such as hand sanitiser dispensers, touchless soap dispensers, waste bins, restroom cleaning tools, and advanced disinfection systems.

What types of hygiene equipment are available?

Common hygiene equipment includes:

Touchless dispensers for soap, hand sanitiser, and paper towels

Waste bins and liners for safe disposal of rubbish and hygiene waste

Restroom cleaning tools (brushes, mops, squeegees)

Electrostatic sprayers and foggers for rapid disinfection of surfaces and air

UV-C disinfection lights for killing bacteria and viruses on surfaces and in the air

Ozone generators for odour and bacteria control in large spaces

Handheld disinfectant sprayers for targeted cleaning of high-touch areas

Why is hygiene equipment important in the workplace?

Proper hygiene equipment helps prevent the spread of germs, bacteria, and viruses, supporting a healthier work environment and reducing absenteeism. It also ensures compliance with health and safety regulations and improves overall staff and visitor confidence.

How do electrostatic sprayers and foggers work?

Electrostatic sprayers electrically charge disinfectant particles, ensuring even coverage of surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas. Foggers disperse a fine mist of disinfectant to sanitise large spaces quickly, making them ideal for offices, schools, and healthcare environments.

What are UV-C disinfection lights and where are they used?

UV-C disinfection lights use ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens on surfaces and in the air. They are used in hospitals, offices, retail spaces, and HVAC systems for continuous sanitisation without disrupting daily activities.

Are there hygiene solutions for waste management?

Yes, solutions include:

Small to large bins with step lids for offices, retail, and industrial settings

Biohazard bins for healthcare facilities

Leak-proof liners for food service and high-traffic areas

How do I choose the right hygiene equipment for my facility?

Consider:

The size and type of your facility

The level of foot traffic and risk of contamination

Specific hygiene needs (e.g., restroom sanitation, waste management, air purification)

Ease of use and maintenance

How should hygiene equipment be maintained?

Clean and refill dispensers regularly

Empty and sanitise waste bins frequently

Inspect and replace filters or bulbs in disinfection devices as needed

Follow manufacturer guidelines for safe operation and servicing
