The Advantages of Wall-Mounted Shampoo Dispensers

Are you interested in improving the cleanliness, quality, and green impact of your hotel and commercial bathrooms with an easy design choice?

Modern bathrooms are all about efficiency, convenience, and hygiene. Hoteliers are on the lookout for innovative solutions that can continuously be integrated into the lodging and hospitality space.

One solution that’s gaining popularity is the built-in, wall-mounted shampoo dispenser. Instead of having a shampoo bottle sitting on the sink, hotel dispensers are built right into the bathroom design, offering several benefits.

Hotel shower dispensers come in a variety of styles. Some can be filled up again and again with big containers of soap, conditioner, or shampoo, while others use small, replaceable cartridges. These cartridges last about a month, most likely doing away with more than 200 small bottles.

Unlike bottles, hotel dispensers don’t have product waste because the cartridges can stay in place until all the soap or shampoo is completely used up. Housekeeping staff can monitor how much soap is left through a window in the dispenser. Even if the cartridge looks empty, there’s a hidden part that holds enough liquid for about 15 more showers. The big containers can be filled up again during room cleanup.

When people leave a bottle in the shower, housekeepers are required to discard it. However, with hotel dispensers, the entire contents of shampoo and conditioner are utilized.

Not having to collect and replace partially used bottles saves housekeepers a lot of time when tidying up rooms.

Therefore, it’s more convenient, as well as time- and cost-effective, than repeatedly going to the cleaning cart to replenish plastic bottles in each bathroom. Typically, hotel dispensers only need to be refilled every few weeks, making it a manageable task.

Using up all the hair products before throwing them away saves lodging properties and hotels substantial dollars.

Hotels and motels often offer individual amenities to their guests, which housekeepers usually replace the following day. However, using hotel dispensers proves to be more advantageous for these businesses as it results in significant cost savings.

According to the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), hotels in the U.S. threw away nearly a million small bottles in 2009. AHLA claimed that one way for lodging companies to save money is to use shampoo and conditioner dispenser systems.

Here are some reasons outlined by AHLA:

– Bulk liquid soap costs less,

– It reduces the impact of waste, and

– It increases quality control.

In a study done by AHLA with a 300-room hotel, installing two dispenser systems in each room (one near the sink, one in the shower) saved about $10, 512 a year. This included the cost of the hotel dispensers at $32 per unit, installation at $8 per room, and the hotel with 60% occupancy. The overall investment was estimated to be $12,000, with payback occurring roughly one year later.

On average, a business can expect to achieve cost savings of between 30 and 70 percent when they transition from individually packaged amenities to hotel dispensers or amenity fixtures that utilize gallon-sized products.

Throwing away massive amounts of small bottles is not only a waste of money; it’s bad for the environment, too. Millions of the small bottles fill up landfills, without getting recycled, or even end up in the ocean.

On the other hand, one cartridge in an amenity dispenser keeps about 200 bottles out of landfills.

Using hotel shower dispensers is more environmentally friendly for both the hotel and the planet as they don’t have to worry about all those single-use bottles.

Some hotels have recycling stations for small amenity bottles, but this only works if guests participate and use them. With a custom hotel amenities system, housekeepers recycle cartridges.

Moreover, individual bottles have a greater carbon footprint than hotel dispensers. Shampoo dispensers allow environmental advantages in terms of manufacture and shipping.

Using hotel shower dispensers results in less shipping as suppliers don’t send as many and as often, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

In a nutshell, the following is the summary of the benefits of using hotel shower dispensers in restroom environments:

1. Improved Hygiene: Wall-mounted shampoo and conditioner dispensers minimize hand contact. Lessened touchpoints reduce the spread of germs and create a more sanitized environment. Their visibility encourages proper handwashing practices among staff, clients, and guests.

2. Cost Savings: Wall-mounted shampoo and conditioner dispensers contribute to both sustainability and cost savings. By using a bulk-fill system instead of individual soap bottles, you can control product usage and reduce expenses. Additionally, this system reduces waste, resulting in lower refill costs. Overall, choosing hotel shower dispensers is a financially prudent decision. 

3. Convenience and Accessibility: Hotel dispensers offer easy access and are positioned at a convenient height for all users, doing away with reaching and spilling, which increases cleanliness. They also save space in small bathrooms.

4. Enhanced Aesthetics: Sleek, modern hotel shower dispensers integrate seamlessly into bathroom designs, making a statement of quality and attention to detail. These dispensers come in various styles, finishes, and materials making them easy to customize and complement existing bathroom designs.

5. Durability and Longevity: Wall-mounted shampoo and conditioner dispensers are typically more robust and experience less accidental damage. The durability of hotel shower dispensers leads to fewer replacements.

6. Resource Sustainability: By reducing plastic waste, hotel dispensers align with eco-conscious practices and environmental expectations. This is not just a passing fad, but a serious responsibility.

In conclusion, wall-mounted shampoo and conditioner dispensers offer numerous benefits beyond just aesthetics and convenience. They promote hygiene, durability, and sustainability in commercial bathrooms, making them a wise investment for businesses.
