• 25% have unsafe levels of bacteria.¹
• Contaminated dispensers can leave 25x more germs on hands after washing.¹
• There’s a risk of tampering, human error, and the presence of gross debris.
• Concentrates may settle over time and alcohol can evaporate, which reduces the effectiveness.
• It’s difficult to track expiration and lot numbers.
• Labor includes cleaning and sanitizing the dispenser and pump.
• Once dispensers are contaminated, even soaking in bleach has been proven ineffective at cleaning them.
• Recontamination can occur within two weeks.²

Two primary categories in this arena are bulk jugs and concentrates, which may be utilized in open-top, counter-mount, and even cabinet-style dispensers.

Most people picture these when they think about bulk products — large containers filled to the brim with ready-to-use products like hand soap or sanitizer. Their primary purpose is to refill smaller dispensers or containers.

Concentrates are soap products that come in a reduced volume form that then must be diluted before use. They have grown in popularity as a potential solution to the space issue posed by bulk jugs.

While contemporary bulk dispensers may look better than some of the more antiquated ones, they share common pitfalls with their more traditional counterparts:

• Contamination Risk: Refillable containers pose contamination hazards, risking the introduction of external pollutants or microbes and bacteria that could cause illness.
• Maintenance Issues: Constant maintenance is required, including regular checking to see if refills are necessary, battery changes, malfunctioning pumps, and frequent thorough cleaning and sanitizing.
• Inconsistent Quantity: Bulk dispensers may not always dispense a consistent amount of product, resulting in either waste or insufficient application.

Now is the right time to check inventories and stock up on more sanitary options with sealed refills to protect safety and effectiveness when it matters most.

The formulations intended for the ES10 dispenser have undergone rigorous testing, ensuring they combat microbial growth while being maintenance-friendly. These products offer a trifecta of powerful efficacy and proven quality from a trusted brand. While others may match one or two of these, none have the true, worry-free disinfection and the peace of mind that comes with the PURELL® name.
