Restroom experience is important, and the world has never paid more attention to cleaning and hygiene than now. To provide a healthy workplace and ensure efficient operations for facility managers, Tork is proud to offer the highest capacity towel system on the market—with up to 250% more towels.1 Why is that important? Having hand towels available is one of the most important factors in improving hand hygiene compliance and contributing to a healthy workplace.
Do not let office hygiene get in the way of job satisfaction and productivity
As people begin to return to the office environment, hygiene can get in the way of job satisfaction and productivity. But it doesn’t have to.
Common office restroom issues
- Hygiene: Running out of paper hand towels is the most common complaint about restrooms. When hand towels aren’t always available people can’t practice proper hand hygiene increasing the risk of cross-contamination and more sick leave.5
- Time: Cleaners spend and waste a lot of time on dispensers – checking, refilling, and gathering stock.
- Flow: When towels run out, traffic flow is disturbed, and social distancing is not maintained as people move to another dispenser looking for a towel.
- Space: Storage closets tend to be overcrowded by hand towel refills, and space on cleaning carts is limited
Continuous high-capacity dispensing is key
Overcoming the most common office restroom issues comes down to continuous high-capacity dispensing. A continuous system is when refill bundles latch onto each other when loaded so the towels dispense with no interruption. A high-capacity system simply holds more towels at a time. Continuous high-capacity dispensing is why the Tork® PeakServe® Continuous™ Hand Towel System was created—and where it shines.
First, Tork PeakServe uses towels compressed by 50%6 to:
- Offer the highest capacity on the market7
- Save on storage space and reduce transportation environmental impact
Second, Tork PeakServe dispensers can be refilled quickly and easily at any time, which helps you avoid run-outs and waste. This allows you to:
- Free up staff time for actual cleaning
- Speed up restroom flow
Finally, since people only touch the towels they use, you get a very hygienic hand drying solution that helps you secure the new hygiene standard.
How Tork PeakServe works
All restrooms are not created equal
Many office buildings with high traffic restrooms also have mid and low-traffic restrooms. If facilities use specific hand wiping solutions for each, this adds complexity to inventory management and restroom servicing. At the same time, many facility managers want to use different quality refills in different parts of their facilities while still using the same dispensing system. In the US, we estimate that around 25% of high traffic venues feature recessed cabinets—adding more complexity to the landscape.
