Adding a cleaning product dispenser guarantees efficiency, economy and safety. This equipment ensures precise and consistent dosing, preventing waste and damage to surfaces or machinery. Often overlooked, the dosing unit is nevertheless essential: it guarantees optimal use of chemicals and directly contributes to the overall performance of the maintenance department.
Is it really important to get the dosage right?
First of all, all types of industries Many businesses and corporate buildings benefit from installing dispensers to better manage their cleaning product consumption. Numerous companies and buildings rely on employees' good judgment to use products correctly. However, very few employees actually know how to properly measure the products. A cleaning product dispenser ensures precise and consistent dilution, essential for effective cleaning.
I would even add that few employees fully understand the usefulness and operation of cleaning products. That's why we always recommend basic training for each employee. In the meantime, here's an article about the product dosage
Problem related to the absence of a dosing device
- Underdosage
The cleaning action will be ineffective and will encourage the proliferation of bacteria. Surfaces may become sticky due to the accumulation of residue, making them increasingly difficult to clean. - Overdose
Overdosing presents a risk of lasting damage to surfaces and can also pose health hazards to workers. Furthermore, it often leads to the appearance of marks that can become permanent.
What type of dispenser should I choose?
There are several ways to dilute products, including using a simple measuring cup. However, this method depends entirely on the employee's precision, making it unreliable.
In recent years, several types of dispensers have appeared on the market:
Single-use product pouches
These are wipes that dissolve automatically upon contact with water. Their main drawback is the potential for waste, especially when hands are wet. Furthermore, there's nothing to prevent an employee from using more wipes than recommended by the manufacturer.
Integrated pod
Simply squeezing the bottle dispenses the product to the desired level. While the employee can still add more, this takes longer. It is essential, however, that the manufacturer makes the dilution instructions clear and easy to understand.
System with quick connection
This is a more sophisticated dilution system than the previous two. Unless the container is pierced, it is impossible for the employee to change the dosage as desired.
Dilution unit
The safest method remains the dilution system. We recommend that containers not be easily accessible to prevent breakage and unnecessary handling. Lockable cages can be installed to store concentrated products, accessible only to management or the maintenance team.
What are the advantages?
CF Salubrité strongly encourages the use of dilution systems, as these eliminate manual dosing by employees. The advantages are numerous.
Cost reduction
Significant reduction in maintenance costs thanks to the elimination of overdose
Reducing unnecessary purchases: On average, 3 to 5 (or 6) products are sufficient with a dilution system
Better control of storage space: Concentrated products take up less space
Transport reduction and packaging thanks to concentrated formats
Security
A safer system for everyone: Since the products are dosed in a closed circuit, handling is reduced.
Reduction of chemical risks (irritations, burns, inhalation)
Opportunity to choose ecological or biotechnological products
Simplified documentation: Technical data sheets, safety data sheets and labels are easy to manage thanks to a reduced number of products.
Compliance with standards and recommendations
Training offered by the manufacturer or distributor
Increased quality control: Eliminating underdosing and overdosing stabilizes the results
Time savings for employees: Simply select the product and press a button for precise and rapid dilution.
In short, using a cleaning product dispenser does not present only advantages Cost reduction, environmental protection, increased user safety, and improved quality and speed of work execution. Automatic dilution is fully aligned with a quality and optimization approach to maintenance services for all buildings.
