Hand Soaps and Sanitisers

Hand soap gets grease and raw-food residue off hands between tasks, which is why a commercial hand soap belongs at every basin, in a dispenser that can be worked with a wet elbow. It is also the item most likely to be found empty.

Liquid hand soap in bulk and a wall dispenser is the standard setup, because bar soap in a commercial kitchen is a shared surface and a bottle on the bench gets knocked into the sink. Pair it with a dedicated hand wash basin and paper towel and dispensers so there is somewhere to dry.

Hand sanitiser is a supplement, not a substitute. It does not deal with visible soil or grease, so it earns its place at the pass, the till and the entrance rather than at the kitchen basin where soap and water belong.

These are the top FAQs for Hand Soaps and Sanitisers

Does the kitchen need a basin just for hands?

Yes, and keeping it for hands only is the point. A dedicated hand wash basin that is clear of pots, trays and defrosting stock is the one a staff member will actually use mid-task.

The pot sink and the mop sink are not hand basins, whatever the pressure of service suggests.

Is antibacterial soap worth it?

For a kitchen, the mechanical action matters more than the active. Twenty seconds of lathering with a plain soap and warm water removes soil and grease, and that is most of the job.

Antibacterial products have their place in high-risk handling, but they are not a licence to wash for five seconds.

Soap or sanitiser between tasks?

Soap and water whenever hands are visibly soiled, after handling raw protein, after the bin, after a break. Sanitiser is for a quick top-up on clean, dry hands.

Sanitiser on greasy hands does close to nothing. That is why it belongs front of house and on the waiter accessories side rather than on the line.

Will frequent washing wreck staff hands?

It can, and when hands crack staff stop washing. A gentler soap with a moisturiser, warm rather than hot water, and proper drying all help.

Dry hands matter twice over: wet hands transfer more. A paper towel dispenser beside the basin is part of the hygiene system, not an extra.

Which dispenser type suits a kitchen?

A wall-mounted dispenser that can be operated with an elbow or a forearm, mounted beside the basin rather than above it so soap does not drip into the bowl.

Touch-free units suit front of house and washrooms. In a kitchen, the deciding factor is whether a chef with full hands can get soap out, and whether the cartridge is one you can keep buying.

How do I stop dispensers running empty?

Hold spares at each basin, not in a central store, and make checking them somebody's named job at open and close. An empty dispenser is the most common hygiene failure an inspector finds.

Put it on the cleaning schedule next to the kitchen safety signs so it is written down rather than remembered.

What about the washroom as well as the kitchen?

Washrooms need the same soap plus their own consumables, and they are usually the first thing a customer judges. Keep washroom stock separate from kitchen stock so the kitchen does not raid it.

The washroom and toilet cleaner range covers the rest of that room.
