Help or hindrance?
October 1st 2004 Choosing the right dispensing system for your specific needs makes all the difference. Dave Pindar of The Buther Company explains why
Most Cleaning Managers are familiar with all the benefits of dispensing systems: major economies of time and money as well as improved cleaning performance. But how many managers actually dedicate enough time, thought and consideration to selecting the best system for their particular premises and specific cleaning schedules. Spending that extra time at the beginning will reap rewards later onwhen you know you have the right system for your specific needs.
The starting point is your building. Is it short or tall? Fat or thin? Or a conglomeration of small buildings? Would the dispensing system be installed at a central point? Is there enough space for a central system and adequate storage for the superconcentrates? Or would your premises be more suited to a versatile, portable system which can be fixed to a cleaning trolley? How frequent is your cleaning schedule? Daily? Weekly? Hourly? How about your product range? Do you prefer to use a limited number of products? Or do you like to work with a broad range of specialised products? Do you need a system which fills both trigger sprays and scrubber dryers? Can you obtain your superconcentrate products in a ready to use format should you need to? And last but not least, do your products give you the results youre looking for?
Safety, of course, is another key issue. Superconcentrates, dedicated buttons and trigger sprays should be colour coded with similar labels and identical icons for easy understanding and avoidance of accidents by non-English speaking staff. Your selected system should be lockable and pilferage free. And finally, your aim must be to achieve high performance cleaning results, substantial in use cost savings and without having to purchase massive supplies to buy at a good price. One on the system, one on the shelf is the Butchers motto.
