Are you a Dad or male carer that has to use public toilets to change your child’s nappy? Even for mums it’s not easy; long queues, impatient little ones in busy confined and often noisy washrooms. So, can you imagine not having a changing table at all? Well, that is the reality for most Dads who are frustrated with not having adequate and safe facilities to change their child’s soiled nappies. One frustrated father has launched a campaign to try to change this for the better. His objective is to have suitable baby changing facilities as standard in all washrooms. Putting your child an unhygienic floor or other unsanitary surface of a public toilet is often the only option. However, this Dad has come up with a makeshift solution. His squatting technique is uncomfortable and awkward, but at least it works, however there are better solutions. Donte Palmer is a Dad of three sons and has started the movement #squatforchange, as well as an Instagram account Three Boys One Goal. “What’s the deal with not having changing tables in men’s bathroom as if we don’t exist. Clearly, we do this often because look how comfortable my son is. It’s routine to him! Let’s fix this problem!”- Palmer Arguably, some toilets do have family rooms, for both genders to use however, these are in no way, commonplace. There are still an inexcusably disproportionate amount of fathers left without any baby changing facilities to use in their washroom. “Changing tables are important in men’s restrooms because fathers deserve the opportunity to be their best,” Palmer said. Absolute Hygiene Solutions has a range of Baby Changing...

For generations parents have used baby wipes to clean their child while changing their nappies. Recently, there has been a new trend that has seen baby wipes being marketed to adults for use while using the toilet. Traditionally, people use tissue to wipe and then proceed to flush it down the toilet once done, this process works just fine. However, the new trend of using “flushable” wipes raises concerns due to the aftermath of the flushing process. When a toilet is flushed, the raw sewage is funnelled to a nearby waste water treatment plant. Debris in the water is then physically removed by machines. Baby wipes do not breakdown due to the fact that they are synthetic and non-biodegradable, as apposed to tissue paper, which is made of organic material. This creates significant problems for the machinery as baby wipes are prone to getting stuck in gears and pump impellers which will need to be repaired at high costs. “Water UK analysed blockage material taken from 54 sewer blockages across the UK. They included some in London, where samples were taken with help from Lanes Group wastewater engineers. It found 93 per cent of all identifiable blockage material was non-flushable wipes. Of that, 75 per cent, by weight, was baby wipes, while 20 per cent was cosmetic wipes, surface cleaning wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Just 1.9 per cent of material had been designed to be flushed.” – Water UK With over 300,000 blockages a year, the cost of repairs to these systems is approximately £100 million each year and a large part of this cost is due to...

It has been well documented that pollution in the UK is at dangerous levels – but did you know that air fresheners could be a part of the problem? A report conducted in 2016 by the Royal College of Physicians, has warned that it is not just outdoor pollution that people should be concerned about. Everyday products such as air fresheners, pose a great threat to the air quality of indoor space. Some air fresheners contain butane gases. Butane is particularly bad for human health; the gas is a central nervous system depressant which can dramatically decrease activity of the brain, affecting physical and mental responses. Once butane is inhaled the fumes are absorbed rapidly through lungs into the bloodstream. The chemicals are solvable in body fat and pass rapidly to the brain and organs, where they take effect quickly. Although the initial effect only lasts a few minutes, this can be exacerbated in the colder periods due to areas being less ventilated; allowing the effect to last up to an extended 40 minutes. AHS have recently released a brand new product to their sustainable range of air care. These eco options help uplift and fragrance your indoor space without all the risks that harmful aerosols, solvents and propellents pose. AHS XLAir is the health conscious alternative option to fragrance indoor areas whether big or small. The XLair utilises a Hi-tech Smart Fan which enables dry essential oils to travel, for a complete uplifting experience; providing a customisable fragrance system capable of creating endless fragrancing options while still being kind to the environment.
