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

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

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
