Washroom Dispensers: How to Choose Soap, Towel and Toilet Roll Dispensers

Dispensers are one of those things nobody notices until they don't work. An empty, broken or jammed dispenser frustrates visitors, wastes product and makes a washroom look neglected. Choosing well saves money for years.

Soap dispensers

• Refillable bulk dispensers are cheapest to run. Refill from 5L containers.
• Touch-free automatic dispensers are more hygienic in high-traffic areas.
• Choose a window or a clear tank so cleaners can see when it's low.

Hand towel dispensers

• Folded towel dispensers give one towel at a time and control usage.
• Centrefeed dispensers suit kitchens and workshops.
• Match the dispenser to the towel size you'll buy.

Toilet roll dispensers

• Jumbo roll dispensers hold far more paper, which means fewer run-outs in busy washrooms.
• Lockable dispensers prevent "disappearing" rolls.

Sanitiser dispensers

Wall-mounted or free-standing units at entrances, lifts and canteens encourage hand hygiene.

What to look for

• Sturdy construction and a lock
• Easy refilling
• Consistent style across all washrooms for a professional look
• Fits the consumables you can easily buy locally
