Who hasn’t heard someone say to put on a jacket to avoid catching a cold? Or, telling a child to avoid venturing outdoors with wet hair to avoid sickness. While those words of wisdom are based on common sense, the question that remains is whether cold weather actually causes us to get sick.
The truth is that the flu and common cold are caused by viruses. The reason that people get sick more often in the cold weather months is because they are exposed to one another more directly in the winter. When it’s cold outside, people stay indoors more. Kids in school may not go outdoors for recess and many outdoor sporting activities are halted until warm weather returns. Cold temperatures also mean drier air. Research has now shown that drier air, especially indoors where heaters are on, makes it easier to so spread viruses. As a result, while it is not the cold weather itself that causes illnesses, it is true that more illnesses are spread and more people become ill, when it is cold outdoors.
So, now that you know that it is not avoidable to be exposed to viruses, do know there are ways to protect yourself from becoming ill. The most practical preventative measure is to wash your hands often and to choose public restroom facilities with touchfree products.
Why touchfree? People with illnesses who are sneezing and wiping their runny noses are also the same ones who must touch traditional faucets and paper towel dispensers. A simple way to help minimize that contact is to frequent places when possible with touchfree products. Germs and viruses can stay on equipment long enough to be picked up by the next person, so minimizing contact is a proven approach to lessen the odds of becoming ill.
If you are a business owner, there’s no better time than right now to make the switch to touchfree products. The good news is that making the switch is affordable and can be done quickly. At Touchfree Concepts, we sell only name-brand products that are proven to be of the appropriate quality and performance you should expect. We don’t just offer any product that is sold. Our staff is personally familiar with all products we have listed, and we are here to help you from buying choices through installation and upkeep.

One of the fastest and most noticeable ways to clean up your bathroom at your business or company is eliminating paper towels and switching to a hand dryer. But, as any user of the hand dryers can attest, not all dryers are created equally. Nothing is worse than using a hand dryer that doesn’t operate well, or one that has so little power that customers end up searching out paper towels after they utilize the hand dryer because it didn’t get the job done.
At Touchfree Concepts, we only sell proven, name brand, high quality products that we are personally familiar with and can support. While a hand dryer is in initial investment, we can assure you will quickly regain your money by eliminating huge amounts of paper waste. In addition, you will be pleasantly surprised about how much lower maintenance your restrooms become as well. That’s because restrooms with paper towel dispensers need frequent trash emptying and restocking—both of which are eliminated with a touchfree hand dryer.
The Xlerator is the first hand dryer ever to be awarded the GREENSPEC designation by the editors of Environmental Building News. It is an attractive and efficient, and uses 80 percent less energy than other hand dryers. We also feature BluStorm, which is the fastest touchfree hand dryer and actually dries your hands in less than 10-15 seconds.
Of course, we sell a wide array of touchfree products, with touchless hand dryers just being one of the products we offer. And we don’t sell our products just to companies either. A growing number of homeowners are choosing touchfree products for their homes to enhance sanitary conditions and decrease paper waste. An added benefit is that it also doing something positive for our planet by decreasing waste.
We personally back and support any of the products we sell. So, check out our offerings and then give us a call or email us and see how we can help you convert to touchfree products.

A new health study confirms people’s worst fears; public bathrooms are crawling with germs. Researchers say it’s what you can’t see that can really get your stomach swirling. A study by the infectious disease society took samples from public restrooms. In every one tested, the germ colonies were growing out of control; they were so large, researchers couldn’t even count or measure them all.
Researchers say you can use a seat cover, wash your hands and even use a paper towel to exit, but chances are if you walked in, you’ll walk out with both germs and bacteria. The main bacteria found in public restrooms include staph infection, hepatitis A, E. coli and bacillus (can cause diarrhea).
The upside to the news, however, is that touchfree fixtures can help minimize exposure to germs. It goes without saying that the less you touch the better off you are. Since the public is now developing a better awareness of germs and infectious diseases, patrons are becoming increasingly discriminating about public restrooms—and even about bathrooms in residences as well. That means patrons may even judge your bathroom about whether they will be a return customer or not, and that affects establishments like restaurants, movie theatres, retail stores, and small businesses as well.
With that in mind, if you haven’t already switched to touchfree equipment, now is the best time. It is surprisingly inexpensive and easy to accomplish it, and your patrons and employees will all thank you for making the small investment for a cleaner bathroom as a result.
We only sell the highest quality bathroom supplies and hygiene products. That means our trained and friendly staff can help you with any item on our website. If we choose to sell an item, we will support it all the way through sales and installation. Check out our offers and see how you can make the Touchfree Concepts difference in less than 72 hours!

Of the touchfree products available on the marketplace today, a favorite with many is the soap dispenser. Being able to wash your hands in the restroom or even kitchen area and conveniently and hygienically utilize a shot of soap ranks high on the list of customer likes.
Parents of young children in particular love soap dispensers too because of their ease of use and one-shot dispenser application. Companies and businesses who have installed the dispensers find that their sink areas stay cleaner and that there is less product waste and mess. So, it’s truly a win-win all around!
With that in mind, Touchfree Concepts offers an array of dispensers to meet your preferred style and budget.

When touch-free concepts first debuted, customers were typically delighted to find them in certain establishments but did not have the expectation they would be in most businesses. Today, however, those expectations have changed. With consumers more aware than ever about the spread of germs and how to avoid catching diseases and illnesses, the utilization of touchfree products has shifted from a “nice to have” to a “need to have” mentality. The widespread H1N1 flu epidemic is one of the reasons cited as why customers now demand more than ever before when it comes to hygiene.
At TouchFree Concepts, we keep in mind that while touchless bathroom supplies are no longer considered a luxury, customers and business alike still expect a quality product and one that looks good too. And, of course, they want the fixture to work correctly!
Rather than offering just any product that is available on the marketplace, we review products and make sure that their overall quality, look and price meets our customer expectations. We want you to know that when you are looking at our product offerings that they are ones that feel confident in recommending!

In our last blog, we talked about preparations for the upcoming 2011-12 flu season. Since that time, we are noticing that flu shots are already readily available and being offered across most of the country to help minimize the population that gets sick from the flu each year.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging people to practice good health habits to help stop germs. Those health measures are common sense approaches to practice year-around, but especially as cooler temperatures and the flu season approaches.
Cleaning your hands by washing them often with soap and water when possible and then an alcohol-based hand rub as a second choice is the top recommendation for avoiding germs. Being aware of the overall cleanliness of public places you frequent is highly recommended as well. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, and remember that when you touch something after a sick person has had contact with it, the spread of germs is more likely. That’s where the touchfree fixtures really come into play.
As Americans continue to be more health conscious in their efforts to avoid germs and getting illnesses like the flu, they are becoming more particular about the cleanliness of bathrooms in particular. If your business or company has not yet converted to touchfree fixtures, there is no better time than right now to make the change. Employees and customers alike will thank you.
The idea of not having to physically touch fixtures that just scream of the potential for germs not only is more appealing, but could actually become a decision about whether or not frequent an establishment. If people worry about getting sick or feeling bathrooms are not hygienic, they may think twice about making a return visit.
At Touchfree Concepts, we specialize in high quality restroom and hygiene products. We offer a selection of commercial restroom supplies and sensor activated plumbing fixtures. In addition, our product line is not just functional but beautiful as well, and a growing number of individuals are converting to these fixtures for their home as well. Give us a call to see how you can make the switch to touchfree. Also take a look at our automatic soap dispensers.

Manufacturers are beginning to ship flu vaccines for the 2011-2012 season. Distribution will continue through the fall, with ample supplies becoming available in September and October. Influenza season activity usually lasts from October to May in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
If you have ever had the flu, you know it is something you want to avoid catching ever again. It is a contagious respiratory illness and can really keep you in bed and out of the classroom or away from work for days or longer.
The 2011-2012 flu vaccine will protect against the three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the season. This includes an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus, and an influenza B virus.
So, what does this have to do with touchfree fixtures? Plenty. One of the best ways to keep yourself and loved ones from becoming exposed to the flu is through careful hand washing and to avoid exposing yourself to the same germs and virus from affected individuals. Touchfree fixtures, which first started out being used in hospitals and other medical facilities, are a proven deterrent against colds and viruses. That’s because while some airborne illnesses are hard to escape, individuals can at least avoid having hand contact with fixtures that a sick person is utilizing.
Touchfree products, such as water dispensers, auto flushes, automatic hand dryers, and soap dispensers not only are high on the approval list with customers, but businesses also like them as well. That’s because touchfree fixtures provide a cleaner and more sanitary restroom and kitchen area than traditional designs. The touchless products are so popular that they are now being utilized in homes as well.
At Touchfree Concepts, we are the leaders in automatic restroom and bathroom supplies and offer only proven products that both look and work well. With 24 warehouse locations around the nation, we can ship our products within 1-3 business days. This way, you can have the automated, luxurious bathroom with improved sanitation—and all at wholesale prices!

Numerous studies have clearly shown that customers and employees alike prefer touch-free products in businesses for health reasons. But do you know what touch-free products say about you as an establishment beyond that?
Individuals polled about why they prefer the touchfree designs provides additional favorable insights about why more and more businesses and even homeowners are making the switch. Sleek fixtures actually portray an upscale image that customers like. Studies have shown that people often believe that the facilities that use touchless dispensers are more modern, user friendly, and customer-focused.
Those favorable responses go further in that customers believe the facility is more hygienic, state-of-the-art, and overall successful. In other words, the perception by consumers is that a business that cares enough to make the fixtures switch to touchfree fixtures is very focused on overall cleanliness and customer satisfaction. Since touch less fixtures, like touch-free soap dispensers, were first created in medical facilities like hospitals to avoid cross contamination, the idea has spread to practically every aspect of businesses and a growing number of private homes. Not a bad message to send at all!
At Touchfree Concepts, we offer a variety of beautiful, luxury-style fixtures that will fulfill the duty of providing better sanitation while looking great—and all are sold at wholesale prices. And with 24 warehouse locations nationwide, your order will be shipped within days so you can begin updating your restroom facilities and increase your sanitation standard within the week!

It is rare today for traditional appliances to be built in commercial buildings, as health reports and public preference strongly favors touchfree products for safe, sanitary and environmental reasons alike.
But what is even more exciting is to see the number of homeowners who are making the switch for all the same reasons as stated above, and without sacrificing any beauty or quality they desire in their home. For example, this automatic soap dispenser is a popular item found in many modern homes.
Builders in sync with homeowner preferences are starting to add touchfree features into custom homes as a standard or at least have them offered in showrooms for selections. But just because you don’t have touchfree fixtures in your home at present doesn’t mean you can’t switch out your items easily and inexpensively.
At Touchfree Concepts, we offer only the highest quality bathroom supplies and hygiene products at wholesale prices. Because we have 24 warehouse locations across the country, our orders are shipped within 1 to 3 business days.
Within the same week of ordering, your home can feature luxury-style fixtures with improved sanitation.
