by Brianna Crandall — May 6, 2016 — The consumption of hand soap has increased in the past few years as the emphasis on hand washing to fight germs that can cause illness has boosted the public’s awareness of proper hand hygiene. At the same time, facilities managers are pressured to control their budgets.
Since hand soap is one of the largest consumable line items in a restroom maintenance budget, Kutol Products Company has crunched the numbers and offers a free eGuide called Restroom Budget Control: How Foaming Hand Soap Saves Product Costs.
Included in this eGuide are a number of comparisons between traditional liquid hand soap and foam hand soap, including usage per hand wash, cost per hand wash, and how many washes a 1000 mL refill will provide.
Dan Renner, director of marketing for Kutol, pointed out:
In an effort to control costs, it is easy to make a simple switch in hand soap and realize significant savings. However, many facility managers are not aware how much this simple change can benefit their bottom line. This eGuide clearly highlights the product use and cost differences between liquid hand soap and foam hand soap, no matter what brand is being used.
The eGuide also provides a detailed breakdown of savings when considering various building capacities and user traffic. As an example, a high school with a student body of 1,000 can save over $2,100 in just one school year by switching from liquid hand soap to foaming hand soap. For a school district of 10,000 students, those savings can add up to over $21,000, calculates Kutol.
The Restroom Budget Control: How Foaming Hand Soap Saves Product Costs eGuide is available as a free download on the Kutol Web site under Tools & Resources / White Papers & eGuides.
