1. Compliance with WELL Standards

Soap cartridge refills are fully compliant with WELL Standards, ensuring a high level of hygiene and sanitation.

The WELL Building Standards, under the Hygiene Support Feature, specifically state the following:

“For all sinks where handwashing is expected (e.g., bathrooms, break rooms, food prep and wellness rooms), the following are present within the room:
a. Fragrance-free liquid hand soap dispensed through one of the following:
1. Sealed dispensers equipped with disposable soap cartridges.”

3. Sealed Soap System

As it is completely sealed, soap cartridge refills make it nearly impossible for debris to contaminate the soap, thereby enhancing overall hygiene and providing protection against bacteria.

The strong, airtight seal acts like a protective wall, keeping the foaming soap safe from outside dirt and germs, making sure bacteria cannot get in.

4. No Soap Refill Required

Soap cartridges are not refillable; they can only be replaced with a new cartridge to replenish soap. This eliminates exposure to airborne particles and reduces the potential for soap contamination during replenishment.

6. Recyclable Components

Soap cartridge refills consist of recyclable plastic and cardboard, contributing to sustainability efforts. Therefore, when the cartridge is empty, it can be promptly disposed of for recycling.

7. Less Waste and Prolonged Use

Using foam soap cartridges results in less soap product being wasted down the drain with each use compared to liquid soap. This means you do not need to order soap cartridge refills as frequently, since foam soap lasts longer.

Ultimately, this helps save both time and money, as it proves to be more efficient and cost-effective over time.

9. Light Weight

Handling and carrying a soap cartridge is easier due to its lighter weight compared to larger bulk fill soap containers designed for commercial or industrial use, which can be quite heavy, especially when they are full.

Replacing soap cartridge refills is a simple and efficient process that requires minimal effort, whether you are replacing them in a behind mirror system, within a vanity unit, or within a service duct.

10. Cartridge Litre Options

With a variety of manageable soap cartridge refill sizes to choose from, you have the flexibility to opt for smaller cartridges, such as a 2 litre refill pack, suited for an individual cartridge soap dispenser, as commonly found in a superloo layout or larger ones, like a 3.5 litre pack capable of servicing multiple dispensers from a single cartridge.

12. Reduced Disruptions in Washroom Operations

The entire process, from unwrapping the cartridge package to completing the replenishment, can be accomplished in as little as 40 seconds. This reduces labour intensive tasks that might be associated with topping up a bulk fill reservoir, thereby minimising disruptions in washroom operations and increasing the efficiency of facilities teams.
