Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Northern Perk coffee shop in Manchester was struggling with messy countertops and constantly having to refill cheap plastic soap bottles in their busy customer toilets. They upgraded to three Rubbermaid FN380 dispensers to create a more premium, hygienic feel and reduce staff workload.

"Our customers noticed the upgrade straight away. The washrooms look so much cleaner and more professional now. For the staff, not having to constantly check and refill soap bottles during a busy lunch rush has been a huge relief."

Robert Finch – General Manager

The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in countertop mess and cut down time spent on washroom checks by a third.

How a Sensor Soap Dispenser Elevates Your Business

Ever wondered how a sensor soap dispenser for restaurants or offices actually works? It's simpler than you think and makes a massive difference. Inside the unit is a tiny infrared (IR) sensor. When you place your hands underneath, they interrupt the IR beam. Think of it like the automatic doors at a supermarket – your presence triggers the action. The dispenser's motor then activates for a split second, pushing out a single, perfectly measured dose of foamed soap.

This isn't just a gimmick; it's a core part of modern hygiene. Because no one touches the unit, it can't become a hotspot for germs to transfer from one person to the next. For your business, this means a visibly cleaner, safer, and more trustworthy environment for everyone.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Choose a smooth, clean wall surface, ideally above a sink but where it won't be accidentally triggered by reflections.
Use the included fittings to securely mount the backplate to the wall. Ensure it's level!
Pop in a fresh C-cell battery and a new Rubbermaid refill pouch – it just clicks into place.
Snap the front cover on and test it by placing your hand under the sensor.

Keeping It Going

Regularly wipe the front of the dispenser and the sensor eye with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean and responsive.
Keep an eye on the refill level window so you can have a replacement pouch ready to go.
The light on the front will flash red when the battery is low, giving you plenty of notice to change it.
Only use the recommended Rubbermaid refill pouches to ensure perfect function and avoid damaging the pump mechanism.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Soap Dispenser

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider when choosing a commercial soap dispenser.

Manual vs. Automatic

Manual dispensers are cheaper upfront, but an automatic hand sanitiser dispenser like this one is far more hygienic and reduces the spread of germs, which is a huge plus for customers.

Foam, Liquid or Spray?

Foam soap is often seen as more luxurious, covers the hands easily, and can use less product per wash, making it more economical in the long run. It also means less dripping and mess.

Capacity Matters

A larger 1.1 litre commercial soap dispenser means your staff spend less time on refills. For high-traffic areas like pub or restaurant toilets, bigger is always better.

Refill System

Bulk-fill systems can be cheaper but risk contamination. Sealed pouches, like those for the FN380, guarantee the soap is 100% hygienic from the factory to the user's hands.

Placement is Key

A hands-free wall mounted soap dispenser saves counter space and is easier to clean around. Consider installing them at entrances, exits, and wash stations, not just in the loos.
