Within the healthcare sector, providing expert care for your patients is at the core of your responsibilities. But is this level of care translated throughout all your washroom facilities? Â Most major hospitals and healthcare facilities see a lot of traffic coming in and out of their buildings, and with that being said, having superior standards of hygiene is crucial to minimizing the spread of germs, bacteria, and illnesses. Having elevated standards has various benefits for your medical facility, including:
Now is the time to partner with Citron Hygiene, one of the industry leaders in reliable, expert washroom hygiene services. With over 45 years of industry experience and earning the trust of the world’s most recognizable clients, Citron Hygiene is here to help you go above and beyond for your staff and patients, one washroom at a time.
A sizeable number of potentially infectious people will likely be stepping through the door every day, so it’s imperative that the highest standards of hand hygiene are in place. Doing so will protect patients from rehospitalization and staff from getting sick, minimizing the sick days employees have throughout the year. Citron Hygiene’s automatic hand soap and sanitizer dispensers help to prevent cross-contamination in the healthcare sector through user-friendly, touch-free systems to provide a safer, healthier environment by dispensing the right amount of soap or sanitizer needed.
Washing your hands thoroughly fosters great hygiene practices, but are you aware of the implications of not drying them? Wet or damp hands are more likely to spread bacteria than dry hands, making it an essential step in the hand hygiene routine of your staff, patients, and visitors. Citron Hygiene offers a wide range of environmentally friendly, high efficiency, touch-free hand drying solutions, with an optional flexible service schedule to suit your needs.
Within most settings, malodours can’t be avoided, healthcare facilities are no exception. But for the improved well-being of patients and staff retention rate, managing these odours is vital. Don’t just get rid of bad smells, treat the air in order to remove viruses and bacteria. Citron Hygiene carries air care solutions that target malodours at the molecular level leaving behind a fresh, clean scent, as well as an air purification system that effectively removes indoor pollutants to provide cleaner and safer air quality standards.
Staffing is a major concern in the healthcare sector, with employee sick days, absenteeism, and a high turnover rate industry-wide. Retaining your skilled workforce by fostering a staff wellness program that sets you apart as an employer can make a big difference. Providing free-vend period product dispensers in your facility washrooms helps support menstrual equity, creates an inclusive space, and provides a means for menstruators to manage their period in a worry-free, hygienic way. Toilet paper, soap, and paper towels are provided for free in every washroom, so menstrual care products should not be treated any differently.
Sickness is not the only thing that is tackled in the healthcare sector, with an aging infrastructure, an increasing concern for many businesses is the facility itself and the maintenance that is needed to keep everything operational. While you can’t avoid things breaking down, you can encourage all your washroom users to play their part but installing menstrual hygiene disposal units and incontinence bins to avoid serious plumbing issues. When users don’t have a hygienic option to dispose of their menstrual products or any option at all, oftentimes they end up flushing them down the toilet, which can cause serious plumbing issues down the road. Our menstrual hygiene disposal bins not only remove exposure to infection and cross-contamination from blood-borne pathogens, but they’re hands-free, hygienic, and most importantly, they offer staff and customers a means to dispose of their products in a dignified way.
1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 experience incontinence, with the likelihood of urinary incontinence increasing with age. In healthcare practices and care homes, this condition is likely to be experienced by many. Support those who experience incontinence by providing them with adequate waste disposal units that are hygienic and hands-free. Additionally, this will also help prevent urinary incontinence waste from being flushed down the toilet, as well as minimize cross-infection risks.
Amongst our various washroom hygiene services and products, we also offer supplementary solutions suitable for the healthcare sector. Our sharps bins will enable your facility to safely dispose of sharps, demonstrating your commitment to the health and safety of your staff and patients, while being serviced regularly by our experts.
Citron Hygiene’s all-encompassing washroom hygiene products and services are the perfect way to show your patients and staff that you care about their health and safety. With over 45 years of industry experience helping countless organizations deliver exceptional washroom experiences, we have what it takes to help any facility elevate its washroom.
