Everything’s coming up…touchless! I’m sure you’ve noticed the trend. Maybe you can’t remember the last time you had to embark on the paper towel-to-door-handle-to-trash bin challenge. Or perhaps your not-so-lavish office bathroom has suddenly become a hygiene haven.

Whatever your experience, it’s clear that touchless systems are cropping up wherever people used to touch things. Aside from bathrooms, there are now touchless sinks in the kitchen, facial recognition technology, and voice recognition. There’s also the optimization of older touchless systems like motion sensors. 

These inventions have added a brilliant level of ease and cleanliness to our lives that often go unnoticed. Less touching = less contamination + less effort. Awesome! But what if there’s more to it?

If you’re under the impression that touchless systems in restrooms are only good for keeping away COVID-19, you may want to think again. Here’s a breakdown of some benefits of touchless you may have missed:

1. Workplace Safety

Well, this one is obvious! Restroom touchless systems like automatic faucets, soap dispensers, and hand towel dispensers are key to reducing touch points in one of the most germ-heavy areas of your workplace. The simple act of installing these systems can help to reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria within your office space. 

When employees feel comfortable using these amenities, they’ll feel more inclined to wash their hands well — every time. Which leads to our next point!

2. Employee Efficiency

Despite all the allure of touchless systems, they won’t make employees want to hang out in the restroom any longer. In fact, seamless, easy-to-use touchless systems are known to reduce the amount of time people spend in the lavatory. That means more time hard at work! Plus, happier and healthier employees inevitably lead to boosted productivity.

3. Cost Savings 

Along with the money you’ll save with less sick days and increased productivity from employees, you can also expect your water bill to be reduced! Because touchless bathroom faucets only run on-demand and towel and soap dispensers control each serving, your company will decrease its environmental footprint while saving cost on products and utilities. 

We hope these unseen advantages have helped as you consider going touchless at your facility! As COVID-19 increases the importance of proper hygiene in key areas, there is no better time to make the switch — and for that, MSNW is here to help.
