They installed new devices in the restrooms here at work. For the “oogie-sensitive” population, myself included, this is a giant step towards public restroom perfection.
…or so I thought.
We now have touch-free soap dispensers and towel dispensers. For you techie types, the Gojo TFX™ Touch Free Soap Dispenser and the ***Kimberly Clark In-Sight® Sanitouch® Roll Towel Dispenser. All we need now are auto-flushers and auto-on faucets.
My first exposure to the soap dispenser was disturbing. I was taking a whiz, when I hear a sound behind me like the motor drive on a 35mm SLR. WTF?
Apparently I am blessed with built-in stealth technology. I stand there waving my hands like some mystical washroom wizard trying to conjure up a spell, and the damn dispensers ignore me. FWIW, hitting a touch-free soap dispenser works. I have yet to find the sweet-spot on the towel dispenser. When I figure that one out, I’ll be a modern-day restroom Fonzie.
*** The Premium Washroom Market is highly demanding and requires Premium Products as well as an extended offer KIMBERLY CLARK PROFESSIONAL* offers a Range focused on premium High Image dispensers, where the “X Factor” is required. (from their website)
Our restrooms have “X Factor”. Awesome.
That sounds like of fun. You must be drinking a lot more coffee to up the frequency of bathroom visits, huh?
Where I work the soap dispenser is always empty, the faucet is rusted and when you grab a paper towel, the entire load comes out.
Beside that someone decided that cleaning agents are bad for the environment, so they only use water now
…it shows (read: smells)…now that’s what we call the “X factor”
Anyway, sounds to me you need some music and a fridge in there, and you’ll be all set.
Yay! nice to see you again, and with clean hands to boot!
