Automatically cleans exit door handles
April 1st 2008

Washrooms have become more automated in response to public demand for improved hygiene. However, there remains the problem of the exit door handle which, according to Hyso, is the single highest-risk surface for cross-contamination in any public place.

The company has developed a solution in the form of an automatic door handle cleaning system.

Suitable for use on any high-contact door, it comprises an easy-to-install, automatic, battery-operated dispenser that contains a canister of aerosol surface disinfectant that is said to kill 99.9% of a range of bacteria, including E.Coli and MRSA.

At pre-set intervals the system delivers a burst of quick-drying formula that continues to work even between sprayings.
