Hand sanitizer kiosks have been around a long time. People have always gone to these establishments in order to keep themselves, and others, safe from germs. They are in places such as schools and airports, and can be found in beauty salons as well. Now, they’re coming along to more locations.
Kiosk installations are usually built-in to a location. They come with sanitizing soap, dispensers and other needed supplies. But there is always room for customization. Sanitizing hand sanitizer kiosks give organizations another benefit for promoting their business: being able to reach a larger audience without too much effort or investment. Hand sanitizing kiosks built-in to a location already offer an easy and effective way to reach a larger audience.
Hand sanitizing kiosks come with built-in CD ROMs or flash drives for memory. There are plenty of options available, including LCD and LED screens, touch pads, bar coding and sanitizing wipe boards. From germ-killing detergents to disinfectant solutions, there is a wide selection of sanitizing products at these kiosks. Most also offer free standing sanitizing solutions. These solutions include either a tablet PC or a mobile phone that can be programmed to automatically sanitize hands or arms with sanitizing soap.
Another benefit to using kiosk-mounted sanitizing signage is the wide variety of ways these devices can be set up. The Sanitizerrek line of devices allows for a wide range of stand-alone or fixed dispensers with different applications. Some are small and portable and feature only one station. Others are large and have several stations, each with its own sanitizing solution or towel dispenser.
One of the most popular types of sanitizer dispensers is the handheld sanitizer dispenser, also called the hand sanitizer or body wash dispenser. Many people prefer this style because it is simple and easy to use. One such model features a touch screen and a sanitizer foam wash. This is one of the best models for the elderly and young children. They simply wet their hands and run the hose over the foam to rinse their hands.
Some hand sanitizing kiosks provide a sanitizer solution in addition to a hand sanitizer foam wash. Other models are complete with a sanitizer nozzle and water pump. It is possible to find a commercial grade sanitizer kiosk that includes both a foam wash and a sanitizer solution.
Sanitizing solutions sold for permanent hand sanitizing are often called sanitizer cartridges. Sanitizing solution cartridges include an antimicrobial compound that attracts and traps germs. In older systems, people must manually throw away used sanitizer cartridge. In more recent systems, all used sanitizer cartridges are automatically recycled into a container. This makes the process easier and less expensive.
Sanitizing digital signage is one of the newest applications for the development of sanitizing solutions. While many companies that own these signs are already well aware of the advantages of having such signs, few businesses realize the potential applications that digital signage has in the area of hand sanitizing. The availability of sanitizing solutions in this new area is sure to attract many more customers as word spreads about the ease and convenience with which they can be used.
The most common type of sanitizing dispenser is a touch screen device that includes a built-in liquid sanitizer. While it is easy to reach and use, this type of sanitizing dispenser can also cause potential problems for those who have trouble seeing. The latest models of digital display sanitizing displays have been built with a clear panel that makes it easy for those with glaucoma or macular degeneration to read the display. As a result, there is no need to use a cane or any other assistance to access the device.
Another application is for sanitizing in the work environment. Many hotels, clinics and restaurants have existing sanitizing equipment onsite. Unfortunately, many of these establishments use an outdated internal automatic dispenser system that stops working after a certain amount of time. A better option would be a handheld sanitizing dispenser that required no plug-in or recharge time. These sanitizing solutions contain multiple applications including a hand sanitizer refill kit for the professional cleaner and a hand sanitizer refill pack for the domestic cleaner. Hand sanitizers are easy to obtain at almost every drug store.
Sanitizing equipment that features a custom electronic media player also makes it easier to sanitize surfaces in an office environment. For example, instead of having to insert live ticks into a paper towel roll or other surface, staff members simply need to plug in an RFID reader, scan the code and then insert the correct amount of sanitizer. Instead of having to individually count again, multiple media players allow sanitizing personnel to simultaneously sanitize surfaces. Using custom digital signage software, the sanitizing process is made even easier. The sanitizer can be scheduled for automatic refills as well as be displayed with preloaded media player controls.
The use of hand sanitizers by health care facilities and other institutions has increased dramatically over the past few years. Sanitizing hand rails, sinks, countertops, and other surfaces in such establishments is becoming more difficult due to cross contamination from various medical supplies and devices. Custom digital signage software allows operators to display the sanitizer solution as a service to clients instead of just displaying the logo on branded dispensers. Rather than displaying the solution as a refill kit, the custom digital signage software makes it easy for consumers to request and consume sanitizer directly from the dispenser.
