Walk into any busy public facility, an airport, mall, your local shop or office park, and you’ll likely encounter the same hygiene red flags.

Overflowing bins, empty dispensers, dripping soap containers and water pooling on counters. These are more than a cringey eyesore; in high-traffic washrooms, these hygiene pitfalls can pose a real risk to a user’s health and your facility’s reputation.

We understand the challenges facilities managers face. That’s why we supply products and systems that solve these issues before they arise, offering hygiene solutions designed for high volume and easy maintenance.

The Reality of High-Traffic Washrooms

If the idea of germs hiding on toilet seats and tap handles makes your skin crawl, you’re probably not hanging around the office loo, let alone braving the ones at petrol stations, restaurants, or hotels. But when nature calls, you’ve likely perfected the art of the bathroom ballet: elbow-opening the cubicle door, hovering over the seat like your life depends on it, and flushing with your foot just to avoid contact.

What Is At Risk For Facility Managers?

In facilities with hundreds or even thousands of users per day, it’s understandable that the equipment wears out, causing hygiene missteps to add up quickly.

Facility managers often get the short end of the stick when users are unhappy and complain, ultimately damaging the company’s reputation. Employees get sick, and budgets are drained by costly replacements.

As a facility manager, it is your job to ensure that equipment is maintained, consumables are replenished, and that durable solutions are introduced from the start.

What Is At Risk For The End User?

An unmaintained washroom can lead to a wealth of health concerns for users.

Let’s start with the sink. Faucet handles and basins, often touched with unwashed hands, are hotspots for E. coli, staph, and cold viruses. Studies show that sinks often harbour more germs than the toilet seat itself.

Soap dispensers that leak or clog become breeding grounds for bacteria, and standard refills are often forgotten or misused. In fact, when soap is stored in refillable dispensers that aren’t regularly cleaned, biofilm forms inside, a slimy build-up of bacteria and grime. Every pump delivers that muck straight to your hands.

Overflowing wall bins or sanitary bins with liners that aren’t changed regularly can also pose serious health risks, as they become hotspots for bacteria and unpleasant odours, attracting pests and increasing the chance of cross-contamination in high-traffic washrooms.

It’s no wonder that so many facility managers are seeking long-term solutions, rather than just temporary fixes.

Ticra To The Rescue

High-traffic facilities deserve equipment built to last. When adopting Ticra’s complete washroom solutions, you can expect:

• User-friendly, hands-free where possible, antimicrobial properties included in manual dispensers  – all of Ticra’s units require minimal maintenance. 
• Durable materials like stainless steel and polypropylene plastic, which are built to withstand wear and tear.
• Easy refill & upkeep: simple sachet swaps and multi coloured bin liners to keep track means no fuss, no mess, and most importantly, putting the user’s health first.
• Plus, installation is straightforward.

The Ticra range supports offices, restaurants, hospitals, and commercial properties. No two facilities are the same, and we can advise on what you require depending on your facility’s foot traffic.

Some Ticra Favourites

Soap Dispenser Sachets

Each soap dispenser sachet is sealed, tamper-proof and mess-free. That means no leaks, no cross-contamination, and no need to clean inside the unit. 

Not to mention: refillable systems often break, leak, or are contaminated with a large number of bacteria if not kept clean, actually making more effort from a hygiene perspective.
