As always I like to start these open ramblings about the washroom services industry with a little trip back in time. Truthfully we don't have to go that far back to get right back to the major sea change in the commercial hand dryer industry. From the earliest incarnation, created by AirDry back in 1921, that blew air down onto the hands, but was triggered by foot, through to 1948 when George Clemens did the job that AirDry did not do and pushed the hand dryer into the public consciousness (and also invented the electric toothbrush).

ABC hygiene has joined Zenith Hygiene Group, the UK’s largest integrated, independent manufacturer, supplier and distributor of cleaning and hygiene chemicals and products, to become Zenith Washroom Solutions. Throughout 2016, Zenith Washroom Solutions focussed on working closely with Zenith Hygiene Group to modernise and streamline processes to incorporate the wider Group’s policies and systems while ensuring the best value and increased service levels for the customer bases of both entities.

How often have you thought about the life of the man or woman who comes to your business to service your washroom? What is it they get from their job and what are their thoughts on what they see day in/day out? Well, this month we’ve cornered one of the ever moving Zenith Washroom Solutions washroom services operatives to find out a little more about these mythical, ninja-like, people who ghost in and out of your lives silently and discreetly (a touch of poetic licence there!).

Roughly 50% of us have little or no involvement in this market yet it is the 2nd largest competed keyword for washroom services businesses. One of our biggest issues in selling sanitary bin service contracts is the lack of understanding regarding the legal obligation for businesses to provide this service.

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.
