New BTA member Sanitary Safe UK launches disposable toilet seat covers for public facilities

It's not rare for consumers to judge the venues they visit based on their toilets. No matter how polished and slinky the interior may be elsewhere in the venue, if the toilets aren't up to scratch, the venue's reputation is often tarnished. Many people are anxious and uncomfortable about using public toilets at the best of times, but if they are visiting a venue as a paying customer, they expect high standards.

Providing disposable toilet seat covers is one easy and cost effective way to add to the comfort of customers and staff. Sanitary Safe UK, a new company dedicated to improving basic hygiene in toilet facilities everywhere, is proud to announce its new Sanitary Safe range of high-quality covers and stylish dispensers for use in public toilets. These seat covers provide a physical barrier between the user and the seat, thus eliminating contact with bacteria or dirt that may be on the seat - as well as increasing levels of hygiene and peace of mind.

In the absence of seat covers many people resort to using their own makeshift covers. This can contribute to causing blockages. Toilet tissue often ends up on the floor, causing mess and compromising the cleanliness of facilities, no matter how often they are cleaned. The headaches this causes for the management of the venue as well as its visitors are easily avoided by providing seat covers.

Sanitary Safe toilet seat covers are 100% biodegradable and toxin-free and flush away easily after use, without the user having to touch the toilet seat at any point. Made from white, fast-dissolving tissue and dispensed in white or chrome dispensers, the covers are a great way to add an extra touch of cleanliness to any venue that values its customers
