Innovative hygiene solutions to help food retail businesses ensure high hygiene standards to protect staff, customers and equipment to ensure food safety.
Good washroom facilities are also vital in creating a pleasant shopping experience and are important factors in your customers' decision to return. Customers often expect a minimum standard of cleanliness in a public washroom and if facilities are poor, it can negatively reflect on your brand image, reduce the length of stay and spend and ultimately drive people away.
We also understand the need to support value and help with expenditure control. The need for quality, differentiated solutions and services which are robust and improve efficiency. And a trusted partner who is reliable, can respond quickly and reduce the management burden.

Shops and supermarkets with restaurants and cafés all operate in a transient – often high-traffic – business group. Here, close contact between customers, staff and surfaces makes the spread of pathogens more likely and increases the risk of infection.
Good hygiene practices are essential for disrupting the transmission of germs and protecting premises and the people in them from further risks, especially at cross-contamination hotspots.
Germs can be brought into your business by customers or staff. Hand sanitisers that kill germs can be positioned in the most convenient locations, such as entry points, to promote frequent use.
High levels of footfall, close contact between people and surfaces, and the storage of different food and materials mean that surface hygiene and air care solutions across your facility are vital to help avoid the spread of germs.
Frequently touched objects such as door handles, clothes hangers and shopping trolleys can facilitate cross-contamination. Surface hygiene solutions can reduce risks of infection by sanitising these touchpoints.
Toilet seats, sinks and flush handles can transmit germs. Regularly sanitise surfaces. All female washrooms should be well-provisioned with feminine hygiene facilities.
Conveyor belts, bagging areas, self-service containers, payment screens and card readers can harbour germs. Self-serve sprays and wipes and hand sanitisers can kill bacteria and viruses in these areas to help reduce germ transmission.
Staff working in kitchens, food preparation areas and fresh-food counters can transmit bacteria and viruses onto equipment, surfaces and the food itself – compromising food safety. Effective hand hygiene facilities and surface hygiene programmes are crucial in these locations.
