It’s important to keep our hands clean, especially in the current climate, and hand sanitiser is a quick and effective way to do that. Recently, you’ll be able to see more and more hand sanitiser dispensers in everyday life; in shops, restaurants, offices and schools, but you’ll notice there are lots of different types.
So, if you are looking to buy hand sanitiser dispensers to keep your colleagues, students or the people around you safe, how do you know which ones are the best to buy?
Types of Hand Sanitiser Dispensers
Below, we have put together a list of different types of sanitiser dispensers and how they are operated:
Hand Pump Sanitiser
These hand sanitisers are usually found in plastic bottles in a variety of sizes where you need to push the pump down with your hand to receive the sanitiser.
These are easy to operate however the main problem with a hand pump dispenser is that you need to use your hand to push a pump to get the sanitiser out. This means that the pump has a common touch point which will have lots of germs on as that gets pressed before you can sanitise your hands. This means that you would need to sanitise the dispenser itself regularly which isn’t always convenient.
Foot Operated Sanitiser Dispenser
These dispensers are usually free standing and have a pedal on the base. You place your hands under the nozzle of the sanitiser and then use your foot to press the pedal to dispense the sanitiser into your hands.
These dispensers are more hygienic because you use your foot instead of your hand to release the sanitiser. However, these aren’t very user friendly for people with disabilities such as wheelchair users and they can also be confusing if you don’t realise it’s foot operated.
Automatic Hand Sanitiser Dispenser
These sanitiser dispensers have sensors near the nozzle so that when they detect motion, they will release a controlled amount of sanitiser straight into your hands. You can find these in either free standing or mounted options.
Touchless sanitiser dispensers help to reduce the spread of germs because there is no common touch point meaning they are contactless, reducing the need to sanitise the dispenser. They are easy to operate and just require the user to put their hands under a sensor to dispense the right amount of product.
The Best Type of Hand Sanitiser Dispenser
It has been proven that automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are the best type of dispensers. They naturally encourage individuals to use them more as they are seen as more convenient. Manual dispensers are less likely to be used over the automatic ones as they are seen to be more tedious and often have more operating problems. This means that if someone has had a negative experience with them in the past, they will steer away from using them in the future.
Germstar’s automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are hand’s free and don’t need to be touched which reduces the potential to pass on germs and infections which will help keep your friends, family, and colleagues safe.
Our innovative dispensers come in large and small sizes and are suitable for many sanitising products like extra mild soap, degreaser and our Germstar ONE so you can find the best fit for you. We have a wide range of colours, shapes, fragrances and options, from free-standing dispensers to wall-mounted sanitising dispensers to ensure you’re getting the best product for your organisation. This ensures that our touchless sanitiser dispenser can be accessible for everyone as they can be mounted onto the wall at any height.
When your hand sanitiser runs out, you can simply replace it with a refill bag. This means that there is less waste, and you can switch up the fragrances to find your favourite. Our refill bags are easy to change and are economical too. Each 946ml sanitiser refill bag delivers up to 1400 uses, whilst the 355ml bags delivers up to 500 uses per bag.
