Hand Sanitizers

Stop The Spread Of Cold & Flu

 

Fluctuating temperatures throughout the winter months brings with it more colds and flu.  Have you noticed that the colds going around currently seem to be lingering around much longer than usual?  Why not stop germs in their tracks before they enter your building by adding hand sanitizer dispensers at entrances and throughout the premises?  The hands are one of the most frequent transmission routes for types of infections.  Therefore, practicing proper hand hygiene is the easiest way to help reduce infections. 

 

Swan provides both hand sanitizer dispensers and stands.  Plus, the hand sanitizer re-fills free!  You only have to pay for the rental of the dispenser and stand.  Every two weeks, our Customer Service Representative will stop by and replenish the dispensers.  Order in the month of December and receive one month’s free service. 

 

Please see our video below for more information.

Hand Sanitizers

The Importance of Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers help to deter the spread of germs and bacteria.

  • Stop the Spread of Germs: According to studies, 1 in 5 people don’t regularly wash their hands. Of those who do, 70% don’t use soap. Providing hand sanitizer in key areas (entrance of businesses, bathrooms and kitchens) makes it more likely that people will use it to kill harmful bacteria.
  • Promote Good Hygiene and Health: A healthy building is a productive one. One study in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC) found that encouraging the use of hand sanitizers in schools reduced absenteeism by almost 20%

It’s important you use hand sanitizer properly to ensure it does the job it’s meant to do – get rid of germs before they are able to spread:

  • Don’t Use Hand Sanitizer if Your Hands are Dirty: Hand sanitizers are not meant to clean your hands.  Rather, they’re meant to disinfect residue.  Oil or dirt will prevent hand sanitizers from penetrating down to your skin.

  • Use the Right Amount: When it comes to hand sanitizer, less doesn’t mean more. You need to apply enough to thoroughly coat every part of your hands.

  • Rub It In Until Your Hands Are Dry: This way you can be sure that it has come into contact with all of the most important surfaces.

When combined with other preventative measures like proper handwashing, using hand sanitizer will help to keep you and everyone in your building protected against viruses and other illnesses.

Planning For Fall

Is Your Business Ready For Fall? 

 

 

Summer is coming to an end, and it is time to plan for the fall, which can include wet weather, and more dirt entering your place of business. With children returning to school, and vacations over, is your business ready for the additional traffic through your door?

 

It is important to think about first impressions of your business, and also the safety of both your customers and staff. Swan Dust Control will place mats in the high traffic areas, and entrances, so that dirt, dust, and wet weather are captured by the mat. Every two weeks the dirty mats are removed and replaced with clean mats, so that your business stays clean, and you can focus on what you do best, which is to serve your customers. 

 

In the fall people start to spend more time indoors, and with kids back at school, cold and flu germs are spread more easily. Adding a Purell anti-bacterial dispenser can kill these germs and keep you and those around you healthy. 

 

Contact Swan today for a free quote for mat and mop rental, and Purell.
