News: London's public toilets are inadequate, according to recent reports

Some Londoners are purposely dehydrating themselves for fear of being unable to find a public toilet when they need one, according to a recent report. Public toilets are integral to making the capital accessible, inclusive, and economically viable, but it seems London’s loos are not meeting expectations. A recent study by the London Assembly Health Committee find that councils should be legally obliged to provide toilets. This comes as a result of Londoners admitting to restricting intake of fluids in order to avoid having to look public toilet when needed.

Disinfection: Affordability & Effectiveness

While many industries have always been focused on hygiene, there has certainly been a stronger focus on workplace health and safety in recent months. Organisations have begun to consider that standard disinfectants, although great at killing bacteria, don’t necessarily protect surfaces. Businesses are having to take a more diligent approach to workplace cleaning, ensuring surfaces are thoroughly and properly sanitised with effective formulas. And many normal disinfectant products are quite simply not cut out for the job. As soon as the disinfectant dries out, the surface is no longer protected. This means that when the next carrier of a virus touches or sneezes on a particular surface, it will become infected again. For surfaces to remain properly sanitised, all high-touch points need to be disinfected continuously – pretty much all day long! For many organisations, constant around-the-clock cleaning and sanitisation is just not practical, and it is most certainly not cost-effective.
