BLOG: Benefits of Foaming Hand Soap

Arrow Hygiene distribute an excellent range of Foam Soap which is, affordable, efficient, hygienic, easy on the environment and an all-around sustainable option. There’s no doubt that it has grown rapidly in popularity over the last five to ten years. Manufacturers benefit from having to produce less soap per sale, and consumers benefit from having to buy less soap, packaging, and transportation per unit. It’s a win that filters right down to yourself as the consumer.

Below is a closer look at the benefits of foaming hand soap and how it makes a huge impact on environmental, financial, and sustainability decisions:

Environmentally Friendly

Foaming hand soap like Unisol Foam Hands from Arrow Hygiene is the smart choice when it comes to being easy on the environment, and which foam soap to use. Because it is a diluted form of liquid hand soap, less soap is used per hand washing session. It is also thinner and less likely to clog drains; which people often use harsh chemicals and detergents to resolve. When less soap gets rinsed down the drain, less soap ends up in the environment. Another less obvious environmental benefit is the conservation of water. Industry studies have revealed that people who wash their hands with foaming hand soap use 16 percent less water to lather and rinse their hands than those who used regular liquid soap. The same studies suggest that foaming hand soap can be used to lather without wetting the hands and water need only be used to rinse the soap away, which can reduce water usage during hand washing by up to 45 percent. Forced air causes natural lathering, which helps foaming soap biodegrade faster than traditional liquid soap. Additionally, you can get more hand washes per package with foaming soap, reducing packaging and transportation impacts on the environment.

Cost Effective

Arrow Hygiene is always about providing the most cost-effective solution. Wasting less soap means buying less soap. Foaming soap dispensers like the Avera Foam Soap Dispenser release less soap than regular liquid soap dispensers do, allowing users to achieve the same level of cleanliness with less soap. Less soap per hand wash makes the same amount last longer, which costs less. Manufacturers also need to make less soap per unit they sell. Consumers save by having to pay for less packaging and transportation, in addition to the benefit of having to use less product per hand wash.

Sustainable

Foaming hand soap is environmentally friendly, but it is also sustainable in a larger context. By reducing the amount of emissions required to transport it, reducing the amount of packaging needed to distribute it, requiring less of it to be used per hand wash, and by using less water to rinse it away, foaming hand soap is a more financially and environmentally stable product. As an additional bonus, foaming soap dispensers need to be refilled less often, saving both time and money. Several studies have also linked foaming hand soap used in tandem with automatic dispensers to reduce infection in work spaces and improve the health of employees that use it.

 

There’s no doubt that foaming hand soap is giving solid form and liquid hand soaps a run for their money. The long-term benefits of soap that requires less chemicals to manufacture, is hands down easier on the environment, and saves money for both the manufacturer and the consumer are hard to ignore.
