Are you looking to cut costs within your business? Well, you’ve come to the right place as we have four ways you could save money and it’s easier than you think. And it all starts in your washrooms!

With us at Absolute Hygiene Solutions, we can reduce your water and electricity bills by offering innovative and most importantly, efficient workplace services, that not only save you money (in some cases, dramatically!) but that also help to save our environment.

Think of how many visitors your washrooms get each day and then think about how many times the hand dryers are used or how often the toilets and urinals are flushed or how many times water is left running.

You can probably begin to see where your money is being drained (see what we did there!)

Below are the key areas where your money is being spent and how our products and services can help save you money in your business.

Change Your Taps

Hand washing is very important but sometimes in the workplace or public washrooms water is left running long after you’ve washed and dried your hands.

Introducing the Pushatap – the only push tap to have full flow and running time control saving you 85% on your water usage!

Plus, there is no installation costs involved as it converts your existing tap quickly into a highly efficient delay tap.

Get Rid of the Paper Towels

Surprisingly, paper towels cost you more money a year than a good, effective hand dryer. Plus, swapping to a hand dryer reduces soggy towels on the floors or other mess in the washroom.

Compared to your conventional hand dryer on average you could be spending £106.20 per hand dryer per year but with a Fast Dryer it could only cost £19.20 per hand dryer, per year. That’s an amazing £87.00 saving per annum*.

Our AHS Fast Dry and Jet Air are very cost effective and save up to 80% on energy as well as reducing carbon emissions.

Reduce Your Water Usage

Whether you’re a small business or a big company you could be using more water than necessary.

Typically, one urinal, without water management uses 315,000 litres of fresh, drinking water per year.

What does 315,000 litres of water look like?

–3939 bath tubs

–10 petrol tankers

–15,750 water cooler bottles

–4848 washing machine cycles

–9004 showers

And that is just one urinal – you probably have more! 

With an AHS Water Management System it reduces the flushing time to once per hour and even stops completely when the building is unoccupied, meaning your urinal will flush only 13,140 litres of water per annum. That’s saving a massive 301,860 litres of water a year, per one urinal. 

Similarly, when people wash their hands the taps may continue running long after your hands have been washed and dried. With a Pushatap we quickly convert your existing tap into a highly efficient delay tap which could save you 85% on your water usage!

This is one of the simplest ways to reduce your carbon footprint.

Make Your Waste Go A Long Way

Here at AHS we’re committed to your welfare and the environment, that’s why we use the Waste to Energy disposal method. A shocking 80% of waste collected is landfilled but we incinerate all the waste we collect and are able to supply steam and hot water to hospitals or district heating schemes.

Hygiene and cleanliness in the workplace are very important to ensure employees and visitors are happy and healthy. We provide many products and services that will help keep your workplace nice and clean.

We like to make hygiene in the workplace as easy as possible and you’ll probably find with the right hygiene solutions in place it will help with your cleaning processes too. Here we show you how AHS help.

Washrooms

Good hygiene at work is very important and as most germs and bacteria originate from the washroom it is crucial it is kept as clean and as hygienic as possible.

Our WC sanitiser definitely helps between periods of cleaning. It feeds in a measured dose of active product into the cistern which then attacks hard water deposits in the toilet bowl, preventing the unsightly scale that can form. It also kills up to 99.3% of bacteria and germs and the foam concentrate keeps toilets hygienic and odour-free.

When it’s time to clean the toilet you will notice it will need less elbow grease and harmful chemicals. It’s also more hygienic for you as it reduces the chances of sickness.

Similarly, we provide a Bio-Breakdown chemical spray which is the best way to clean your urinals and surrounding areas as it kills bacteria and that unmistakable urine stench, leaving it clean and hygienic.

Enclosed Working Environments

Whether you work in an office, care home or warehouse it is likely bad smells will arise, whether that’s because someone is having fish for lunch, someone has smoked in a small hotel room or you care for the elderly. It can be hard to eradicate these smells.

Bad odours are caused by a build-up of bacteria, which cleaning alone cannot get rid of.

Our AirSteril works quietly in the background, using no chemicals to kill bacteria in the air and on surfaces, completely removing the bad odour in as little as ten minutes.

For example, if you clean a care home, you can use the portable unit and place it in a particularly bad room whilst you clean other rooms, making it more bearable and hygienic for you to clean.

Designated Waste Areas

It is a law requirement that there are suitable disposal bins provided for sanitary and nappy waste. We provide specific bins for the waste and collect them ourselves so you don’t have to deal with it. Also, our sanitary and nappy units have an active plant extract in that renders bacteria harmless and odour free.

Health & Safety Mats

We are very proud to say we’re an environmentally friendly company offering a variety of eco-friendly products. It’s important we make an effort to protect our environment and the good news is, it only takes small changes to make a big difference. 

Here we detail five areas in your workplace which you can change to make sure your business is as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible. You could even save some money in the process.

AHS and the Environment 

Firstly, it starts with us. We’re ISO 14001 accredited so we are committed to being environmentally conscious. From choosing our product design, packaging and products to servicing we always consider the environment. In fact all of our products can be recycled.

Reduce Your Water Usage 

Even if you’re a small business or a big company you might be using more water than necessary. When people wash their hands the taps may continue running long after they’ve been washed and dried. With a Pushatap we quickly convert your existing tap into a highly efficient delay tap which could save you 85% on your water usage!

Similarly with your toilets or urinals they could be automatically flushing up to 9 litres typically four times an hour which is roughly 315,000 litres of water per year.

What does 315,000 litres of water look like?

• 3939 bath tubs
• 10 petrol tankers
• 15,750 water cooler bottles
• 4848 washing machine cycles
• 9004 showers

With an AHS Water Management System reduces your water usage right down to 78,840 litres or 13,140 litres per annum, depending on which solution suits your business best. You can change the flushing time to once per hour and even stop completely when the building is unoccupied.

This is one of the simplest ways to reduce your carbon footprint.

Efficient Energy Usage 

Similarly, buying a good, efficient hand dryer can reduce your carbon emissions. Our AHS Fast Dry and Jet Air save up to 80% on energy, drying your hands in just 10 seconds using as little as 900w.

Not only are these hand dryers the greener option but they could also save you money. Compared to your conventional hand dryer on average you could be spending £106.20 per year but with a Fast Dryer it could only cost £19.20 a year. That’s an amazing £87.00 saving per annum.

No Waste to Landfill

Did you know that 80% of waste collected is landfilled? This is really detrimental to the environment as the waste is usually left to rot, producing and releasing harmful gases which can contribute to global warming.

However, we do things differently here at AHS – we prefer the Waste To Energy disposal method.

All the waste we collect is incinerated which is recovered by the plant and the steam released is used to heat our local hospital. Any surplus energy goes back to the National Grid.

Bin it! 

It is estimated that 2 billion items of sanitary protection are flushed down British toilets every year. Children, bathers and other beach users regularly come across these items and they may not know the potential dangers of a syringe needle or used sanitary towel.

All of our solutions support the ‘Bag It Bin It’ campaign, promoting responsible disposal of personal products for the safety of others and the environment. We make it easy for you and your staff and customers to dispose of these items discreetly and safely.
