Portable washrooms keep hand-hygiene easy

Teaching children good hand-hygiene skills has always been important, but with an emphasis on minimising the spread of infections it has never been so crucial.

TEAL, a specialist manufacturer of portable handwash units, has developed the Kiddiwash range to encourage pre-school and school children into life-saving hand-hygiene habits both in and outside the classroom.

Schools can stay top of the class for infection prevention

Recent reports in Chemist & Druggist have shown that 1 in 10 children under the age of 10 are missing school because of illness relating to poor hygiene.1

Playtime and lunchtimes can naturally be a hazardous time of day for sanitation within schools, with food consumption, toilet breaks and outdoor play often taking place in close and quick succession. Thus break times can prove to be a peak time in the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of germs amongst children, as well as for mess caused by littering in washrooms, in classrooms and in the playground.

Tork adds three foam soaps to hand care range

SCA has introduced a new antimicrobial foam hand cleaner and two eco-labelled foam soaps. Containing 40% ethanol which destroys bacteria, viruses and fungi, Tork Antimicrobial Foam Cleanser is kind to the hands and incorporates lower concentrations of alcohol than other sanitisers on the market.

Commercial fireclay range


Shaws of Darwen have been manufacturing fireclay sinks for well over 100 years and production still continues today, in their vast factory in Lancashire.

The Shaws range of British made fireclay sinks sell the world over which is testament to its quality.  All products are handcrafted to the highest standards using time honoured methods and state of the art kiln technology.   The extensive range of heavy duty white glazed commercial fireclay products are designed specifically for commercial applications in schools, leisure, public buildings and laboratories.

Easy+clean™: Easy to open and clean to use

To assist in protecting people against the threat of bacterial infection, UNION’s Facility Furniture, formerly the Wellington range, has been re-launched as UNION Easy+Clean™ Facility Furniture, combining an easy access design, with new TouchClean® technology.

By nature of its use in toilet and bathroom applications, facility furniture will undoubtedly come into contact with bacteria. TouchClean® anti-bacterial coating helps to improve infection control and reduce the risk of bacteria being transmitted from the surface of the ironmongery.
