Cross-contamination in public washrooms is a significant health concern that often goes unnoticed. It happens when harmful pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, are transferred from one surface to another, typically via hand contact.
In schools for example, poor feminine hygiene can also result in the spread of harmful germs and diseases which can cause children to fall ill and force them to miss school.
In the washroom, this can happen on high-touch surfaces like faucet handles, door knobs, and flush buttons, creating a breeding ground for illnesses.
One effective solution to combat cross-contamination is the implementation of no-touch sanitary bins. These bins are designed to minimise hand-to-surface contact, reducing the risk of spreading germs.
4 Ways Automatic No-Touch Sanitary Bins prevent cross-contamination
Touchless operation: No-touch feminise hygiene units are equipped with motion sensors allowing users to dispose of feminine hygiene products without touching the bin’s surface. This touchless operation minimises the risk of transferring pathogens onto the bin itself.
Enhanced hygiene: By eliminating the need for physical contact, touchless bins promote better hygiene practices in the washroom. Users are more likely to dispose of items properly, reducing the chances of waste being left in inappropriate places.
Reduced cross-contamination: With touchless bins, there’s a significant reduction in the potential for cross-contamination. Users can dispose of items safely, knowing they won’t come into contact with contaminated surfaces.
Easy maintenance: Touchless sanitary bins are designed for easy servicing. They can be emptied and cleaned efficiently, reducing the time and effort required for upkeep, which is crucial in maintaining a hygienic washroom environment.

Does your business comply regarding disposal of sanitary waste?
In a previous blog we wrote about legal compliance regarding the disposal of sanitary waste.
Because businesses produce large volumes of sanitary waste, business managers should be asking themselves whether it is being disposed of in compliance to regulations laid out above, and what are the risks to the business if it is not disposed of correctly.
