Sofidel, a leading global provider of paper for hygienic and domestic use, offers ways to keep restrooms in tip-top shape while prioritizing sustainability this World Hand Hygiene Day. This global initiative highlights the critical role of hand hygiene in reducing the spread of germs and promoting healthy habits.

“This World Hand Hygiene Day, we want to emphasize the important role restroom cleanliness plays in promoting proper hand hygiene,” said Giorgia Giove, Marketing Manager at Sofidel. “Our mission is to support facility managers with effective, environmentally responsible hygiene solutions.”

Facility managers should consider the following:

1. Prioritize sustainable products. Select toilet paper, paper towels and facial tissue that are certified by trusted organizations such as Green Seal or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These certifications indicate products are responsibly sourced and safe for both people and the environment.
2.  Keep hand hygiene supplies stocked. Ensure your facility is consistently stocked with essential hand hygiene products, including soap, paper towels and sanitizing supplies. Opt for third-party-certified products that meet environmental and health standards. A fully stocked restroom supports consistent handwashing and demonstrates your commitment to a well-maintained restroom.
3. Use automatic dispensers. Automatic paper towel dispensers provide a hygienic and sustainable restroom solution by reducing high-touch surfaces and limiting the spread of germs. As a result, it reduces unnecessary paper waste and provides a more hygienic solution in comparison to air dryers.
4. Promote hand hygiene through education. Display clear, engaging signage in restrooms to reinforce proper handwashing practices. Visual reminders near sinks remind occupants of the importance of hand hygiene and demonstrate correct techniques, such as scrubbing hands for at least 20 seconds. Educational signage helps reinforce hand hygiene compliance across your facility.
