In an era where hand sanitizer has become a "must-have" in every organization, many companies still choose to use "manual plastic pump bottles" placed at various locations because they see them as cheap and readily available. But have you ever calculated the true "hidden costs" of repeatedly buying small bottles over the long term (1-2 years)? This article from Hygienic will reveal the figures and provide a clear comparison of why investing in an "automatic alcohol dispenser" is a smarter choice for your business.
Cost of cleaning solution per liter (retail vs. wholesale)
The biggest waste is the "packaging cost." Buying 450-500 ml pump bottles of alcohol every month means you're paying for the plastic bottles over and over again.
Traditional method: Buying small bottles results in a very high average price per liter.
New method: Using Hygienic's automated machines, you can order alcohol in gallons (3.8 - 5 liters) for refilling, which is almost 50% cheaper per liter on average. The larger the organization, the greater the price difference will be.

Quantity Control (Human Error vs. Sensor Systems)
Have you ever noticed that when using a hand pump bottle, some people press too hard, or press 2-3 times per hand washing session? This results in an excessive amount of gel being dispensed (overdose) and the bottle running out very quickly.
Automatic sprayers: Dispense disinfectant using a sensor in the "appropriate" amount for one disinfection (approximately 0.8 - 1 ml), neither too much nor too little, allowing for controlled monthly disinfectant purchases.
Durability and image (disposable items vs. corporate assets)
Cheap plastic pump heads often break easily, with the push rod snapping or the spring getting stuck, requiring frequent replacements. Plus, they look unsightly and get dirty when placed down.
Hygienic's sprayers are designed for heavy-duty use in public areas. They are durable, long-lasting, and their modern design enhances an organization's professional image.

summarize:
Switching to automatic alcohol dispensers isn't just about increased convenience; it's an investment in long-term cost reduction, transforming wasteful expenses into controllable savings. If you're looking for a cost-effective and reliable solution, this is it.
