Paper Hygiene Buying Guide
This section covers all the essential paper products needed to keep a hygienic, clean environment. Whether it is toilet roll for your restrooms or hotel, kitchen towels, paper towels or facial tissues you will find everything you need on the Alliance website. All the products available are sourced from reputable suppliers and are competitively priced.
Toilet Paper
For commercial use, toilet paper is available in many different sizes and you should always keep a good level of stock because restrooms must have ample toilet roll available for customers. Keep an eye on stock levels during the day and replenish when required. Choose from different ply strength too and quilted varieties for added comfort. Purchase packs up to 36 rolls and if you prefer toilet roll dispensers, there are plenty of rolls to choose from for this purpose. The toilet roll dispensers are also available and are very popular in restrooms of restaurants and hotels. Of course, some businesses use folded toilet tissue and you will find a number of folded toilet tissue products on the Alliance website including related dispensers for your convenience. There are also environmentally friendly products available to purchase which are much kinder to the environment and offer an ecological option.
Hand Towels
Paper hand towels are much more hygienic than material towels and even hand blowers because they are single use, get thrown away after each use so there is no risk of spread of germs. Many customers prefer hand towels to other methods of drying hands after using a restroom. Hand towels and hand towel dispensers are also ideal for kitchen use in commercial premises. While the hand towel is a simple product, there are various different options available:
- Interfolded (Z or C fold) these are pre-folded hand towels which are only touched by the customer pulling the towel from the dispenser, making these an extremely hygienic option.
- Hand towel rolls which sit in the dispenser horizontally and roll over a cardboard inner, the towel is pulled from below and released by the user,
- Centrefeed towel rolls sit in the dispenser vertically and are filtered through the bottom of the dispenser similarly to the horizontal hand towel rolls, available in different colours including blue, white and green these are a very popular choice.
There are also different strengths, from 1 to 3 ply, the latter being stronger and more luxurious to the touch. Available in blue, white or natural colours you can even co-ordinate them to your colour scheme. The Alliance website has a number of options available including the related dispensers which easily fit to the wall and can be refilled in seconds. Make sure the hand towel dispensers are always amply stocked and choose from manual dispensers to sensor dispensers, the latter using a special mechanism which allows the user to receive a towel without touching the dispenser box.
For businesses who want to be seen as ecologically friendly, choose 100% recyclable C-Fold Hand Towels which are kind to the environment.
Kitchen Roll
Kitchen roll is an essential for any food related business. Made out of absorbent paper, it has many uses especially soaking and cleaning up liquids, drying hands and other cleaning purposes. They can also be used to dry up crockery and utensils and are extremely hygienic because each towel is thrown away immediately after use. As they are very popular and used frequently you should keep a good stock of kitchen roll available. The Alliance website has commercial size packs of 24 available in 2 ply strength.
Facial Tissues
Keep facial tissues in your restrooms as well as having plenty of good stock for hotel rooms. Choose from cube or rectangular boxes and purchase stylish facial tissue dispensers in the correct size for your chosen tissue boxes. Basic tissues come in 1 ply paper but there are stronger tissues up to 2 or 3 ply which don’t tear as easily, the Alliance website has plenty of options available and it is always beneficial for customers to have a hygienic tissue option when they use the restroom.
Despite popular belief, generally manufacturers do not make facial tissues out of recycled paper because the end product tends to look grey rather than white, however, for those who prefer to stock a facial tissue product that is kind to the environment choose 100% recyclable facial tissues, available in a 2 ply thickness.
