Did you know that wet hands spread 1,000 times more bacteria than dry ones? Proper hand drying is just as important as hand washing to help prevent cross-contamination in your facility.
Whether you prefer the advanced hygiene of no-touch technology or the traditional appeal of manual dispensers, our hand drying range ensures a fresh, clean experience for every user:
In busy environments like hotel lobbies, offices, and shopping malls, providing easy access to hand sanitiser helps maintain hygiene standards and gives users confidence wherever they are.

At Initial, we don’t just provide products, we deliver complete, fully managed solutions. It’s this combination of cutting-edge solutions and professional servicing that creates handcare that works better for everyone. From your first site survey and professional installation to ongoing, proactive maintenance, our experts ensure your dispensers stay reliable, efficient, and ready to perform.
By taking care of servicing, stock and day-to-day management, we help you maintain high hygiene standards with less effort. This gives you confidence that everything is taken care of, with less to manage and more time to focus on your business.
With a fully managed hand hygiene service like Initial's, you get more than just dispensers and consumables; proactive maintenance, stock management, and monitoring are all built in. Rather than handling refills, breakdowns, and replacements internally, a managed service takes day-to-day responsibility off your team, keeping your washrooms running smoothly without the added workload.
For high-traffic environments, prioritise dispensers with robust, high-cycle pumps, no-touch sensor technology to reduce cross-contamination, and built-in usage monitoring to prevent downtime. It's also worth considering whether foam or liquid format best suits your footfall levels, as foam typically offers more controlled dosing and less waste in busy washrooms.
Several handwash products in Initial's range carry EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan accreditations, independently verified certifications confirming reduced environmental impact across the full product lifecycle, from formulation to packaging. For businesses with sustainability targets or ESG reporting requirements, this makes it straightforward to maintain high hygiene standards without compromising on environmental commitments.
For maximum effectiveness, position dispensers at key touchpoints such as building entrances, reception areas, lift lobbies, and high-footfall communal spaces like canteens and shared corridors. Initial's fully managed service ensures units are always stocked and operational, so placement decisions don't create an additional management burden.
Wet hands can transfer up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry ones, making hand drying a critical, and often overlooked, part of any effective workplace hygiene strategy. Businesses should choose solutions suited to their environment: high-speed electric dryers with HEPA filters suit fast-paced settings, while paper towels or linen roller systems may better suit spaces where noise or aesthetics are a priority.
