Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Penzance was looking to upgrade its washroom facilities. Their existing dispensers were proving unreliable, frequently jamming and leading to wasted liquid soap and frustrated customers during busy service periods.
"We were constantly having to fix or refill our old soap dispensers. This Rubbermaid kit was fitted in minutes, and the difference is huge. It just works, looks professional, and the refills last for what feels like an eternity. Our cleaning supply costs are genuinely down."
Michael Davies – General Manager
The bistro successfully reduced its monthly spend on hand soap by over 30% and completely eliminated maintenance time previously spent on faulty dispensers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Choose a clean, flat wall surface at a comfortable height next to the sink.
- Use the dispenser's backplate to mark your drill holes accurately.
- Securely mount the backplate to the wall using screws and wall plugs appropriate for your wall type.
- Simply slide the first soap pouch into the mechanism and click the front cover shut – it's ready to use!
Keeping It Going
- Regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to keep it looking clean and professional.
- Keep an eye on the clear viewing window to know exactly when a refill is needed.
- When it's empty, just open the unit, pop out the old pouch, and slot a new one in.
- Check the nozzle opening occasionally to ensure it's clear of any dried soap for a perfect foam every time.

So, what exactly is an antimicrobial lever? Think of it as a built-in bodyguard for your dispenser. The surface of the push-lever is treated with special technology that continuously stops microbes like bacteria from growing. In a busy washroom, countless hands will touch that lever, and a standard one can easily become a transfer point for germs. This clever lever works around the clock to keep itself cleaner, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination between users. It’s a small, invisible detail that makes a massive difference to your overall hygiene standards and shows you care.
