WELLBEING TECHNOLOGY Opting for quality technology can play a large part in boosting a hospitality venue ’ s wellness responsibility . The installation of innovative hand dryers , like the PureDri hybrid hand drying and sanitising system from Airdri , can play a pivotal role in enhancing the washroom ’ s hygiene standards and sustainable practices , providing a unique triple action defence against the spread of bacteria , mould , viruses and odours .
Plants are known to be nature ’ s healers so bringing botanicals into the washroom can promote feelings of serenity and have beneficial effects on psychological well-being , as well as reducing blood pressure and improving indoor air quality .
Clever use of aromatherapy is another way to bring in nature . Essential oils , extracted from flowers , leaves and fruit , have the power to tap into the human nervous system through our sense of smell , calming the senses , de-stressing and transforming the ambience of the room into a peaceful and welcoming space . Scents of lemongrass , bergamot , lemon and orange make for a bright , citrussy olfactory signature , whilst notes of eucalyptus , peppermint and lavender promote a clean , fresh ambience .
CALMING COLOURWAYS
Light colours are generally considered to make the bathroom feel brighter and more airy , with darker shades lending a more sophisticated ambience . Sandy neutrals , pale blues and serene greens are known to promote tranquil vibes and a soothing atmosphere , whilst nature-inspired earthy browns , soft greys and sage greens engender an organic and calming effect . Colour psychology in this instance is all about emphasising mood and enhancing a feeling of peace .
PureDri works to continuously maintain an environment that is hostile to pathogens by creating and distributing a sanitising plasma into the air and on to surfaces . It also provides individual user protection by focusing plasma both around the user and onto hands in a focused 6 second blast at the end of the hand drying cycle , reducing bacteria that may not have been removed by hand washing by a further 11 %.
Airdri ’ s SteraSpace sanitisation technology effectively and continuously eliminates harmful pathogens , even in washrooms with poor ventilation that are under constant use . The units work to continually remove airborne and surface pathogens by sanitising surrounding air and exposed surfaces , therefore significantly reducing the opportunity for transmission of viruses , including seasonal colds and flu as well as other illnesses .
The units combine Photo Catalytic Disinfection ( PCD ), Germicidal Irradiation and Dual Waveband UV technology to create the most advanced virus and bacteria control technology of its kind . This offers a unique and highly effective way to eliminate bacteria , mould , yeasts , viruses , allergens , and harmful VOCs to result in clean , healthy air and surfaces in the workplace .
By combining these three advanced technologies , a continuous flow of disinfecting plasma is released into the air , eliminating 98.11 % of airborne and 99.6 % of surface micro-organisms in under sixty minutes .
LET THERE BE LIGHT
It ’ s always a great idea to amplify natural light , whether that be by adding skylights where possible or enlarging existing windows . Natural light is proven to boost wellbeing and improve mood , as well as having the power to totally transform a room depending on the time of day , the weather and the season .
Where natural light is not available in the washroom , a bright white décor and strategically placed mirrors will also help bounce light around the room . The introduction of full-spectrum or daylight light bulbs that closely mimic the spectral energy of natural daylight is another option worth considering .
