TORONTO — Citron Hygiene, a global washroom hygiene services company, and Velair Group, a hand dryer manufacturer, announced their partnership in North America with the launch of the Pebble+ hand dryer. Together, both organizations are trying to bring more advanced hand hygiene technology to public spaces, elevating the standards for public health and sustainability.
The Pebble+ delivers an advanced hygiene protocol that is reportedly energy-efficient, good for the planet and well-engineered. Local air sterilization and UV-C disinfection work to remove 99.9% of bacteria, at a lower cost to the planet and the bottom line of businesses. It works to sterilize the air with a H13 filter and is TUV SUD-certified for removal of bacteria and viruses from the air around it.
It’s available now exclusively through Citron Hygiene in a full-service rental program where businesses can avail of their hand dryers for a monthly fee without a significant upfront capital outlay.
“Most companies have elevated their hand hygiene protocol, but not enough companies have found energy-efficient, sustainable and cost-effective hand drying solutions,” said Robert Guice, CEO of Citron Hygiene. “Expanding our partnership with Velair to North America is another step in redefining washroom hygiene standards in this region and reinforces Citron Hygiene’s commitment to sustainability globally. Our industry-unique hand dryers-on-contract program will allow businesses to offer sanitary, cost-saving, low-emission, best-in-class hand drying technology like Pebble+ without a significant capital outlay to the customer.”
“We have built an exceptionally strong partnership with Citron Hygiene over the past 2 years in the UK, so it made perfect sense to develop that partnership further into the US and Canada,” said Matt Anderson, Managing Director, Velair Group. “Citron Hygiene is a company whose values marry up perfectly with the introduction of Pebble+ into North America. In a world that is still recovering from the devastating Covid-19 pandemic, it was clear that the North American hand dryer market was lacking a product that meets the exceptional hygiene standards that users now expect in washrooms.”
When it comes to proper hand hygiene, drying your hands effectively is a critical step that should never be missed. Wet hands not only leave drips of water on surfaces and floors, heightening the risk of slips, trips, falls and contamination, they can also spread up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands do. While the public can take hand hygiene protocols into their own hands, it’s up to businesses and organizations to provide the right hygienic technology to support effective measures.
