Touch-free automation and innovations in public washrooms can help improve hygiene, health, costs and sustainability. Away-from-home washrooms like those in offices, schools and airports experience high traffic and are havens for germs. Touch-free fixtures like soap dispensers, faucets and doors along with automatic cleaning systems can help increase hygiene and reduce disease transmission while protecting the environment. Customers increasingly demand touch-free, eco-friendly washroom solutions and facilities that prioritize hygiene to improve brand image and staff/visitor wellness.

Because

—

are
safe
havens

emphasize
the

Factors

Various
studies
confirm:
Maintaining
a
high
restroom
cleanliness
level,
a
high
hand-‐washing
compliance
and
addressing
the
public's
growing
concerns
about
touching
restroom
surfaces
and
fixtures
is
essential
for
improved
health
and
wellness
Driving
Factors
for
Innovation
Improved
Image
Research
shows
that:
around
70
percent
of
visitors
rank
finding
a
clean
restroom
as
extremely
important.
A
similar
percentage
responded
that
they
would
avoid
a
facility
in
the
future
if
they
found
the
restroom
to
be
dirty.
Driving
Factors
for
Innovation
Improved
Costs
and
Financial
Performance
Clean
and
hygienic
restrooms
will
enhance
the
visitors'
and
staff's
experience,
reduce
absenteeism
and
help
customer
retention.
Improvements,
such
as
touch-‐free
fixtures
and
hardware
will
increase
the
value
of
the
building
and
its

and
will
easily
be
