Air fresheners
Unpleasant odours dominate the environment they’re in. A washroom with a bad smell will leave a negative impression regardless of the other facilities available. Commercial air fresheners, in addition to regular cleaning, ensure your washrooms never exude the kind of uninviting smell that’s going to put people off. Spending any amount of time in a space with a bad odour can increase employee stress and give the impression you don’t care about their welfare. Investing in high-quality fragrance delivery technology helps to ensure any bad smell is dealt with quickly.

While toilet roll dispensers may seem an obvious choice for any washroom, there are bound to be times you’ve entered a business washroom and found loose toilet rolls lying around. This doesn’t create a good impression and suggests an organisation’s lack of care or thought when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness. Toilet roll dispensers come in a vast range of styles and types to suit any washroom and they don’t have to be a significant expense.Menstrual product free-vend machines

Urinals are a space saving and cost-effective addition to any male washroom. They are hygienic in their hands-free design and can be made even more hygienic with the addition of urinal screens. Urinal screens combat bad odours, maintain their condition, ensure they smell fresh and minimise the risk of splash back. Splash backs can not only be messy for individuals, but can contribute to damage and deterioration to the floors and surrounding areas, so a solution for keeping these under control is in demand. Urinal screens can also trap any additional debris that may be dropped, such as chewing gum, minimising the risk of blockages and the repair bills that come with them.Cubicle Mirrors
Recognising not everyone is comfortable using mirrors in the public space of the washroom, cubical mirrors give people the chance to check anything they need to in the private space offered. Depending on the size of your cubicles you can conveniently position mirrors on the door or on one of the side walls.Toilet seat cleaner

Toilet seat cleaner make it clear your business is committed to providing safe and clean washroom environments. It provides reassurance to any visitors that your workplace is a healthy and hygienic environment.

This promotes a more hygienic experience and shows visitors and employees your commitment to their health.
