Hygiene and comfort in the washroom

Businesses visited by customers are often judged by the cleanliness of their washrooms. A clean washroom gives visitors a positive first impression and keeps customers coming back.

To ensure hygiene and comfort in the washroom, textile rental firms offer a variety of services, equipment and accessories.

Textile hand towels in dispensers enable effective and ecological hand drying. State-of-the-art dispensers supply each user with a clean portion of towel for individual use. The dispenser is designed to fully separate the clean and used parts of the towel.

Textile hand towels are usually delivered on a full-service basis tailored to the customers' needs and includes:
  • delivery, pick-up and distribution of washroom equipment
  • laundry and maintenance of towels, and
  • installation and regular maintenance of dispensers.

Washroom accessories such as soap dispensers, clean air dispensers, feminine hygiene and other personal care products are also supplied.

More information on hand hygiene is provided in our publications section.


Why use textile hand towels and dispensers?
  • higher effectiveness, absorption and drying capacities than paper or hot air
  • best way to remove bacteria from hands, thus reducing illnesses and loss of working days
  • better for the skin
  • contribute to an aesthetic washroom environment; they reduce litter and the likelihood of blocked sanitary ware
  • ecological through the use of special washing machines and sophisticated laundering processes. (The results of an E.T.S.A. study evaluating non-chlorine bleach washing processes are summarised in a new technical report.)
  • quality control guarantees continuous reliability, comfort and hygiene
  • customer tailored solutions
  • reliable service, delivery, laundering, maintenance
  • reduce solid waste
  • no hidden costs (such as maintenance of stock, removal of waste, costs of plastic bin liners, daily waste disposal, plumbing costs if paper towels are flushed down the toilet)
