Touch-free Towel Dispensers Help Reduce Spread Of Germs

With highly publicized outbreaks of H1N1 and MRSA occurring over the last couple of years, public concern for cleanliness has grown. So, too, has the demand for touch-free restroom products, as the general public wants to go in-and-out of the restroom while having to touch as few things as possible.

One critical touch point in most restrooms are towel dispensers. Manufacturers of these products now offer a wide variety of touch-free systems, which continue to improve in terms of aesthetics, maintenance and also promote health.

With so many occupants visiting the restrooms in high-traffic facilities, there is greater potential for cross-contamination. Touch-free towel dispensers, whether pull or sensor-operated eliminate a common touch point for users, reducing the spread of bacteria.
