In ancient times, soap was made by boiling fat in ashes and then engraved on cylinders. Records show that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly. Eber Papyrus, a medical document from around 1500 BC, describes combining animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to form a soap-like material used to treat skin diseases as well as for washing. Around the same time, the Israelites obtained detailed laws on personal cleanliness. Moses also linked cleanliness to health and religious purification. Biblical accounts show that they knew that mixing ash and oil would produce a hairspray. Apparently, the early Greeks didn’t use soap, but they bathed for aesthetic reasons. Instead, they clean their bodies with clay, sand, pumice stone and ash, then smear themselves with oil and scrape off the grease with a metal instrument called a stripling. They also use oil with ashes. The ancient Germans and Gaul also discovered a new soap-like substance made from tallow and ashes, which they used to dye their hair red. As Roman civilization progressed, so did bathing. The first Roman baths, known for their extravagance, were fed from their aqueducts, built around 312 BC. Baths became very popular. Baths were very luxurious. By the second century AD, the Greek physician Galen also recommended soap for medicinal and cleansing purposes As Roman civilization progressed, so did bathing.

One of the least-known heroes of any restroom is the humble soap dispenser. It hangs on the wall, quietly waiting for you to wash your hands. Or is it? If your soap dispenser is often empty or not working, this is a major workplace hygiene problem. It’s crucial to make sure your soap dispenser is always ready for these five key reasons, especially during the colder months of the year when flu and other germs are everywhere:

1. Soap won’t cut it

That messy, dirty piece of soap in a dirty, slimy soap dish can be disgusting to everyone, so it’s not something you want your customers to see, or your employees to use, especially when they’re handling food. Millions of bacteria and viruses can live comfortably in the mucus of public soap bars, and people with weakened immune systems are especially at risk of contracting this method of hand washing. Non-contact liquid or foam soap dispensers are more hygienic and will reduce the risk of infection for everyone who comes into contact with your tissue.

2.Reducing the point of contact after using the toilet can reduce the spread of bacteria

The less items you touch between the toilet and the outside world, the better. Unfortunately, soaps and older nonfunctional dispensers are very obvious contact points where bacteria can accumulate. Leekong Hygiene’s contactless bathroom soap dispenser removes one of these points of contact, dispensing the cleaning soap simply by sensing the hand underneath the machine.

3.Soap dispensers don’t maintain themselves, but…

Today’s modern bathroom soap dispensers use a lot of great technology that makes them very reliable. Of course, they still need to be replenished frequently, which is why you need a reliable restroom service company to provide and fill the soap supply regularly, while checking to make sure the soap dispenser is in good working order. You don’t want employees walking around after using the bathroom without enough soap to remove dirt first.

4.Modern soap dispensers are cleaner

Do you know how soap quickly leaves streaks and scabs of soap residue on sinks and counters? Soap residue is a major breeding ground for bacteria. It looks obnoxious, and your cleaning crew won’t like rubbing it off every day. The soap we put into the soap dispenser creates a thick cleaning lather, but doesn’t leave any residue on the sink afterwards, making it a better choice for everyone.

While some facilities are converting to contactless bathroom dispensers, occupants of other buildings are not replacing their dispensers. Instead, they opt for manual soap dispensers. These can make maintenance easier for the cleaning staff, who don’t have to worry about replacing the battery as the non-contact fixtures require.
Manual dispensers typically carry liquid soap, which in the case of wall-mounted units is dispensed by a one-handed push-pull mechanism. The reverse mounting unit is in the form of a pump, which can be pushed in or down.
Users should be able to collect soap in the hands that help distribute it; Even though the dispenser is a point of contact, proper hand washing can eliminate cross-contamination concerns. However, cleaning personnel need to ensure regular cleaning and disinfection of equipment, especially distribution handles and surrounding areas susceptible to contaminants.

5.Washing hands can save lives, but…

Hand washing can only save lives if the right supply of soap is used correctly (or at all). Some very shocking studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that almost everyone is doing it wrong and spreading more bacteria than they should. Therefore, follow these steps and make sure everyone in the office knows and follows the correct hand-washing protocol. It is long and short like this:

• Wet your hands thoroughly and use the soap dispenser.
• Scrub hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean paper towel. Avoid pneumatic hand dryers, because science has found some really disturbing things, too.

Note: To avoid touching faucets or bathroom doorknobs with clean hands, use paper towels as well.
