The titles I have to write?! That one was quite fun, but now I have to follow it up with an article that shows how matting solutions can support your business’ nCovid routines. Luckily the matting companies are on my side and have realised that they can utilise their branding options to support distancing in your workplace.

Let me start this by saying that I am not a germophobe. I am a firm believer that a healthy human body can deal with almost everything that we can throw at it and that it is important to build up immunity. This is a controversial statement at present, but I stand by my beliefs (and wear a mask in public because I know others may not be as healthy as I strive to be). With public toilet seats, I am a little more fussy. Visible soiling is a big turnoff, but even then we know that it is the invisible stuff we keep an eye out for. I always wipe the seat with a folded toilet tissue before sitting and, if provided (and it REALLY should be), I use the seat sanitizer. But how much of this is a folly?

This year we have all learned one thing together. How to wash our hands properly. Sure, we might have had the concept. However, until this year, most of us did not know the insides and outsides well enough. Mostly between the inside and outside of our fingers. I sit now and admire how far we have, collectively, come. Sure, many will slip back into the old, bad habits but some, like myself, now always stop at a sink to wash my hands. I’m not paranoid, I just realise that I didn’t do it enough before.

We reached this article through a tactile interface.  Whether this be a smartphone screen, mouse or keyboard we applied our hands, as we have done consistently since humans left the ground as early simians.  Where have our hands been today? How effectively did we wash them? What have they touched? Did we think about that before we put our lunch in our mouths with our hands after touching the keyboard?  This author can show you an extensive assortment of consumer or corporate level computer optimisation options.  However, I do not usually give considerable attention to the keyboard I am typing with or the mouse I am using to move around this document as I type.

You are in the zone. Every inch of you is at the threshold of pain, your breathing burns, but the rush of dopamine is numbing the pain, you know you can keep going but your body tells you to stop. You push through, your vision clears and you look at your watch to see where you are at and, checking against your personal best, you stop. The very next thing you do might stop your next week’s worth of gains. You take your hands off the equipment, pick up your towel and wipe yourself down. What did you touch just before you picked up your towel?

Sitting at 30,000 feet I am drawn towards wondering about travelling and hygiene. In my past I have done it all. From the sneaky, walking as bold as brass through reception for a 5 star wee through to disappearing to the far side of a Russian furlong on the Mongolian Steppe to dig a hole just metres from my travelling companions to do my business. This is not, however, about that. This is about the average modern journey of the like that many of you will take with your loved ones this summer to escape the eternal British rain…..in July….and onwards.

Ah, that innocuous sign. Something we see almost every day of our lives but, for many, one that doesn't have a lot of meaning. Indeed even in facilities management it can be hard to get this washroom solution right. What are the issues? Why is it so hard to provide a decent accessible solution? What can we do better?

My childhood was spent watching my family run their outside catering business. Periodically we’d be blessed with a visit from the health inspectors. That episode of Fawlty Towers is far more accurate than people realise. We had, at the maximum, 16 cats. Don’t remember how, we just did. Worse still, I’m allergic to cats?! Anyway, I digress. The doorbell would go, my Mum would wander to the door, see the health inspector then...

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie!". Right, that does annoy me. Not the wet seat (OK, that does too) but more the rhyme. I'm a copywriter and my job is to pursue the highest standards of written English. Not only does this ensure I feel good but it also ensures that you, my consumer, understands my intent and can enjoy my articles. But I’m off target here….and that is the other point, isn’t it?

So we got your attention. Our aim is to provide you with a simple guide to offensive waste and how to deal with it efficiently and legally through establishing an effective waste disposal system for your business waste management.

Either your toilet seat or your smartphone has more bacteria than other. One of them has over 170 times the acceptable level of faecal coliforms of a catering surface. One of them you gladly press against your face for business conversations even when you've just handled it in your toilet visit. We're really hoping that you aren't thinking "the toilet seat"!

In this current financial climate we are all looking to tighten our belts where we can, but does this mean we have to compromise on the high standards we are used to? We say NO!!! Washroom service solutions have moved on at such a rapid pace over the last few years that in most case’s we now can save you as much money on things like water and towel usage, as you would have spent in the first place.
