Keep your restroom sparkling clean and reduce the costs for your school with these touchfree school restroom supplies from Touchfree Concepts.
Automatic Flushers
This one aspect of a touchfree restroom may be the most critical. When students and teachers no longer have to actually touch the toilet and urinal handles it helps keep the germ transfer down to a minimum. Additionally, kids rarely remember to actually flush the toilet and urinal and when your school installs an automatic flushing accessory it will immediately cut down on the odor of the restroom.
Automatic Soap Dispensers
Next, we move to the hand washing step of a touchfree restroom. These automated machines will keep students from using too much soap when they are washing their hands. Just the right amount of soap is distributed for each hand washing. And of course they don’t have to touch the germ infected handle to get the soap.
Automatic Faucets
Wave your hand over the faucet and an appropreaite amount of water is provided for students and teachers. Water waste is a big problem for school systems nationwide and automatic faucets are the best solution to cut down on waste.
Automatic Hand Dryers
If you are trying to avoid the cost of paper towels then consider an automatic hand dryer. These new models can provide quiet, cheap solutions to the more expensive paper towel dispensers.
Automatic Air Fresheners
Finally, you can easily keep your school restrooms free from odor with these timed air fresheners. They keep the smell to a minimum and will improve the overall experience for the students and teachers even when the restroom is in need of cleaning.
Cut down on costs and keep your school free from another place for germ transfer. Touchfree Concepts is dedicated to providing these and many more restroom accessories for businesses and homes across the nation.

The words “public restroom” and “pleasant smell” don’t often get used in the same sentence, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. A public restroom doesn’t have to stink when you install some powerful metered air fresheners.
The AutoFresh® Metered Air Freshener has a wide variety of options that can keep your restroom smelling great even during those crazy rush hours when your employees don’t have time to monitor the restroom’s cleanliness.
- Can be set to spray every 7 ,14 ,or 28 minutes to reach desired fragrance intensity.
- Includes 12 hour functionality so the dispenser will only spray during business hours.
- Can be set to not spray on specific days of the week.
With these great options you won’t be waiting the fragrance when it is not needed. But don’t get us wrong, just because a restroom has an air freshener installed doesn’t mean it isn’t a clean restroom. On the contrary, many customers consider a restroom clean based on the smell rather than the actual appearance. So don’t waste man hours of your employees trying to scrub that smell off the floors. You can restore a clean, pleasant smell with a powerful air freshener.
Finally,for the most effective neutralizing air freshener available today consider the Microburst 9000 Air Neutralizers. These full-strength, long term odor controlling sprays permeate the room with subtle fragrances reassuring your customers that the room is clean and comfortable. These are the longest-lasting odor neutralizers on the market today!
Let Touchfree Concepts provide this and many more restroom products for your home and business.

You may not want to know this, but in a poll conducted a few years ago in which a large number of adults were interviewed about hand washing habits there was a definite trend in the percentage of people that wash their hands and those that don’t. The twist is that in this survey is that the researches, after asking the question, then sent them to a public restroom to see what they actually did and compared that to their survey answer. The truth might surprise you!
So here’s the facts, 9
1% of adults claimed that they washed their hands after using a public restroom. But of the 6,336 people that were observed in the restroom, only 82% actually did wash their hands! So there is a 10% gap between the number of people that say they do wash their hands and those that actually do so.
Perhaps unsurprisingly it was found in the same study that women were more common to wash their hands than men. 90% of women actually washed their hands while only 75% of men actually washed their hands.
So the question is: Why don’t more people wash their hands? Here at Touchfree Concepts we believe that more people will wash their hands it the restroom’s facilities makes it even easier to do. For example, an automatic faucet would make it very easy to start the process. Furthermore, a simple touchless soap dispenser would make the next step even easier and finally a touchfree paper towel dispenser would make the final step a breeze.
These are just a few of the ways that you can make a difference in the percentage of people that wash their hands. Making these small changes in your place of work or even in your home will only increase the percentage of people that wash their hands after using the restroom. Together we can make a difference in the health of America.

A poll conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of LifeBridge Health reveals that when in a public restroom without soap or towels, 74 percent of American adults who use public restrooms would rinse their hands with water and let them air dry.
They might as well not even bother,” says John Cmar, M.D., an internist at LifeBridge Health’s Sinai Hospital of Baltimore and expert on infectious diseases. “Washing with water alone does not get rid of microbes the action of working up lather with soap, and then rinsing it off, is what washes them away. Plus, by touching the sink faucet one of the dirtiest things in a restroom these people could be adding even more germs to their hands.
The survey asked 2,257 U.S. adults aged 18+, of whom 2,208 use public restrooms. The poll also revealed that only 12 percent of public restroom users would immediately go find another place to wash their hands in that situation, though that number increases to 17 percent among those aged 18 to 44 and 19 percent among females in that same age range.
Six percent of males aged 18 to 34 who use public restrooms said if there were no soap or paper towels in a public restroom then they would give themselves a “free pass” and not wash their hands at all. This self-reported number is much lower than what past observational studies have revealed; a prior study conducted in four U.S. cities observed 34 percent of men (presumed to be aged 18+) neglecting to wash their hands at all in public restrooms, despite the availability of soap, towels and running water.
To avoid getting sick, it is critical that people know how to wash their hands the right way,” says Jackie Daley, director of Infection Prevention and Control at Sinai Hospital. “Many people think the water temperature kills the germs on their hands, but water from a faucet could never get hot enough to do that,” she says. “The keys are the soap, the length of scrubbing time and drying your hands thoroughly with towels afterwards.” Daley stresses that people need to scrub their hands with soap and water for at least 15 to 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, then an alcohol-based hand rub will work to destroy germs. Finding restrooms with touchfree fixtures is preferable to using the ones you have to touch to operate.
