Cheap isn't always cheerful!

If you are in charge of buying the washroom products for your company or building, given the current economic climate you might be forgiven for choosing the cheapest box of handtowels or toilet tissue, next time you make your purchase. However, by just plumping for the cheapest quality or case price you could find yourself out of pocket. Why?

There are still many washrooms out there which do not have adequate dispenser systems in place. We have all seen the piles of handtowels beside the sink, wet and soggy, with many also on the floor. The same can be said of the toilet cubical, with discarded toilet rolls on the floor, or behind the system.

These scenes can be both unhygienic and very costly, given the amount of paper that does not get used. A little bit like the good old C Fold handtowel, where you 'pinch' the towel and end up taking six, which you don't open and fully use, but discard in the bin without touching. A waste!
This is where a modern, cost effective washroom system is required. By installing a range of dispeners which critically match the amount of people that use the washroom, you can actually reduce cost. Take for example the Tork Elevation Roll Towel .

This gives out only one sheet at a time, which means the user has to make a conscious decision to use more. The reduced consumption often lowers the overall cost compared with generic dispensing systems, or a washroom without a dispensing system at all.
Plus, all of the products are contained in tightly sealed aesthetically pleasing dispensers, protecting them from contamination before use; no one else touches the paper you use.

At Smith & Coburn we are happy to invest time and effort in properly managed washroom trials, which we hope could save you time and money in the long run.
Feel free to give this a try, by calling the office. Next time don’t just buy cheap!
