Bar Of Soap Or Liquid Soap — Which Is Better?

Know which form of the humble soap is ideal for your facility.

Firstly, is there a difference?

Keeping hands clean using soap and water has become the easiest and most important route to staying hygienic and keeping diseases at bay. A soap’s primary purpose is to rid your hands of pathogens. Lathering and scrubbing hands with soap creates friction.

The surfactants in the soap help remove dirt, grease, and microbes from the skin of your hands. The water then rinses them off, eventually leaving you with clean and hygienic hands. So, when it comes to staying hygienic, should you reach for bar soap or hand wash? Let’s find out!

“Whether soap comes in a bar or a liquid form, they are both equally effective at reducing pathogens and removing dirt.”
Dr. Rachel Burns, MD,
A dermatologist in Edina, Minnesota

Has Dr. Burns’ statement confused you more? Well, it shouldn’t as you read further. Choosing between a bar or a liquid need not be tricky after you analyze your preferences.

Here’s how you choose!

Take a look at the questions below. If your response is yes to more than one statement, you must opt for liquid soap in your restaurant, hotel or work facility.

  • Many people use the same soap.
  • There is a risk of contamination through the usage of the same soap.
  • Soap usage is not effortless and convenient.
  • The area around the sink is untidy with soap deposits or foam.

When using a handwash, the liquid soap doesn’t spill out of the dispenser. So, you are assured of a non-messy and non-slimy sink. Plus, a hand wash is super affordable for long usage. A hand wash makes cleaning more personal and safer compared to a bar of soap that is touched by multiple hands.

“Bars of soap have a higher probability of accumulating bacteria and contamination when compared with liquid soap, especially if you live with other people. If someone who is sick uses the soap bar, you can easily pick up their germs if you have both shared the same soap bar.”
Dr. Rachel Burns, MD,
A dermatologist in Edina, Minnesota

So, which hand wash is good for your facility?

When it comes to complete hygiene and safety along with trust and affordability, you could count on Diversey Prosumer’s Soft Care hand washes. These hand washes are formulated by the experts in cleaning and hygiene space for businesses and homes.

You could choose from three variants — Premium Blossom, Triclosan-free Antibacterial and Sandalwood fragrance. All variants are available in 250ml with pump, 750ml refill pouch and bulk packs.

Premium Blossom Handwash (Rose Perfume)

This pleasantly rose perfumed disinfectant handwash kills pathogenic bacteria and viruses on the hands. It keeps your skin soft and supple, but at the same time kills 99.99% of the highly resistant bacteria and viruses.

Benefits

  • Has neutral pH — It is devoid of harsh chemicals and is gentle on the skin.

  • Gives high lather/foam

  • Is a special soap-free formulation.

  • Removes even the strongest food smells.

  • Is cost-effective, with 3-5 ml sufficient for a good hand wash.

Triclosan-free Antibacterial

Triclosan is commonly used in hand washes available in the market owing to its antimicrobial properties. However, triclosan poses health risks. Some studies have shown that exposure to high doses of triclosan hand wash may increase the risk of allergy sensitization, alter the endocrine function or weaken the immune system.

Opt for a hand wash that is as effective as your triclosan hand wash minus the dangers. Triclosan-free Antibacterial Handwash is hard on germs and soft on hands.

To Conclude

Personal hygiene is of utmost importance in today’s times. Though both the bar soap and hand wash are efficacious, the hand wash comes out as the preference.

And, in this space, Diversey Prosumer’s soft care hand washes are a clear winner owing to their cost-effectiveness, innovation and reliability.

How To Keep Your Toilet Bowl Spotlessly Clean Always

Your guide to cleaning toilet bowl like a pro!

Clean toilets are a must!

One doesn’t need an IQ of 140 to know that a dirty toilet is off-putting to guests and a potential health hazard. And, no hotel manager would want their guests to catch a fungal infection or any other disease owing to their hotel’s unkempt facilities and toilets. A clean washroom directly leaves a positive impression on the customer and is one of the key factors for winning repeat customers.

A good establishment may end up losing customers due to unkempt washrooms. This is why it is mandatory to keep the toilet bowls spotlessly clean and disinfected after one guest leaves and before the next one arrives in the room.

For the housekeeping staff, usually toilets top the list of hardest to clean areas in a hotel. The most common reasons are tough stains, harsh chemicals, extra scrubbing, and more.

So, let’s get started!

Step #1 — Relocate items near the toilet for convenient cleaning

To ensure safety and make cleaning hassle-free, move any item from the top of the tank and base of the toilet to a safe area. These items include tissue boxes, room deodorizer and sprays.

Shift them to a farther area to avoid an accidental fall or to make sure they don’t come in the way of your cleaning.

Step #2 — Don the safety wear

Put up your safety goggles and disposable gloves to protect your eyes and hands from the cleaner.

Step #3 — Clean the toilet bowl

  • Close the lid and flush the toilet once to wet the interior of the bowl.
  • Pour Crew Toilet Bowl Cleaner into a squeeze bottle.
  • Apply the cleaner in a circular motion and evenly around and inside the toilet bowl. Direct the nozzle under the toilet rim.
  • Allow the inside of the toilet bowl to soak for some time.
  • Clean the flush handle, toilet cistern, toilet lid and the outside surface of the toilet bowl with Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler. Wipe them with a cleaning cloth.
  • Scrub the grime, especially the nooks of the S-bend of the toilet, using a tough brush.
  • Apply Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler on both sides of the toilet seat. Wipe it down.
  • Return to cleaning the inside of the bowl — From the rim at the top to downwards.
  • Flush the toilet. Ensure the water inside the bowl is clear.
  • Rinse the brush in the toilet after completing the cleaning.
  • Dry the toilet using a cleaning cloth. Make sure you remove all marks.
  • Close the toilet bowl cover.
  • Move back the items you relocated at the start to their original spots.

To Conclude

Usually, the hotel guests check the toilets first to assess the cleanliness of the room. Any dirt or stain on the toilet bowl or a half-cleaned toilet bowl could cause an unpleasant welcome or a dissatisfied guest.

A clean toilet is the first and highest benchmark of a clean room, and hence a happy guest. In the long run, it implies a favourable rating for the hotel and more word-of-mouth referrals.

This is why you need trustworthy cleaning partners for your toilet bowl cleaning. And, who better than Diversey Prosumer’s Crew Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler.
