It’s time to talk Peri/Menopause

33 million women in the UK who, at some stage in their life, will experience menopause. But, due to a lack of awareness among the public, a lack of training among some medical professionals and social stigma, their needs during this critical life change are frequently ignored, belittled or overlooked.

10% of women leave their jobs

Over half of working women aged 40-65 have experienced 3 or more symptoms of the menopause, including hot flushes (47%), night sweats (41%) and feeling tired (35%).

·Two thirds of those with 3 or more symptoms have lost interest in their work or made mistakes
·There are approximately 13 million peri or post menopausal women in the U.K
·There are more than 30 recognised symptoms of menopause

Perimenopause is when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms may appear, often in the early to mid forties.
Menopause is 12 consecutive months without a period, the average age is 51-52.
Postmenopause is the years following menopause.

·Symptoms last, on average, 4-8 years
·1 in 4 will experience very few symptoms
·3 in 4 will experience symptoms
·1 in 4 will experience debilitating symptoms

Menopause is a natural stage of life which affects most women and other people who have a menstrual cycle.
This can include
• trans people – ‘trans’ is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth
• people with ‘variations of sex development’ (VSD) – some people might prefer to identify as intersex or use the term ‘differences in sex development’ (DSD)

What should you expect from your Employer?

Conduct a risk assessment
Access to toilets
Provide drinking water
Air conditioning/fans
Providing a listening ear
Talk and listen sensitively
Find ways to give support
Have knowledge of the menopause and its effects
Know what support and guidance the organisation can offer

What can you do?

Contact your GP/ Practise Nurse – ask for blood tests and a well being check
Look for resources i.e the Balance app, available via your smartphone app store.
Refer to help websites: www.womens-health-concern.org

B Fresh Bio Cleaner

Continuing the theme of products we would like to highlight based on ‘testing’, this week we want to talk about our B Fresh Bio Cleaner. Nobody enjoys encountering unpleasant odors in men’s toilets, especially emanating from urinals. The smells can be off putting and make all the difference in impressions of customers. However we have found a great way to eradicate these smells!

– The key to combating odors is cleaning but with the right products
– There are a number of options that can work along side, for example urinal mats, urinal caps, air freshners but it is also important to provide ongoing cleaning of the urinal, pipes and surrounding areas.

B Fresh eradicates organic staining and odour problems from all washroom surfaces, including floors and walls contaminated with urine. Simply spray and wipe all ceramic surfaces to control scale and soiling. It contain species of micro-organisms/bacteria that are commonly found in the digestive tract and in soil.

We have used this ourselves on a number of areas to check it deserves a seal of approval. What we have noticed is that this product must be used on it’s own – there is no need for other cleaners i.e bleach as this can prevent the B Fresh working to it’s full effect – this also reduces costs of buying other products alongside. It has a minty fragrance which helps dissipate mal odours.

We used this on carpet which had been vomitted on – firstly removing any debris and soaking the residue, we sprayed the area twice over and the results were the smell had gone. We have used on carpet which has been urinated on – again the same process although 3 times and results were great. We have found this effective with pets who have accidents in the house as well. (No we are not a bunch of reprobates at B Hygienic – we just have children/dogs that have accidents!)

This is definitely a product we recommend and will continue to use ourselves!

Product testers- Team Feedback

This week we did something we have never done before – we asked our own staff for feedback on our products. Nuts that we haven’t ever done this before isn’t it?! And how interesting the feedback was, we often discuss products from a sales perspective, from a customers view point but rarely do we consider what the service operatives view is on how well these products actually work. We’ve taken a unique approach: turning our own staff into product testers.

Engaging our staff as product testers allows us to identify potential issues. Whether it’s a usability concern or a functionality glitch, our team’s hands-on experience provides valuable feedback. This proactive approach helps us address issues swiftly, resulting in a more polished and reliable product or service.

Not only will this benefit our business but it is also a win win as it engages our staff and gives them a sense of satisfaction knowing their opinion is worthy. This collaborative atmosphere not only strengthens team bonds but also enhances the overall quality of our products by drawing on the collective expertise of our workforce.

We are proud to have our team at the forefront of our decisions, we will continue to involving them in our stamp of quality. B Hygienic have some new ideas for the forthcoming months, we will be showcasing some of our products and also working to obtain more feedback from our customers.

Unblocktober – Save our Sewers and Seas

Unblocktober holds significant importance when it comes to promoting clean, hygienic washrooms. At B Hygienic Washroom Services, we’re excited to shed light on this initiative introduced by Lanes Group and share how you can participate.

What Is Unblocktober?

Unblocktober is an annual campaign that runs throughout October, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of maintaining clear and clog-free sewage systems.

Why Unblocktober Matters

Protecting the Environment: Unblocktober underscores the critical link between what goes down our drains and its impact on our environment. When sewage systems become blocked due to non-flushable items like wet wipes, it can lead to sewage spills and contamination of waterways. By participating in Unblocktober, you’re contributing to cleaner and safer environments for all.

Cost Savings: Blocked pipes and sewage backups can result in expensive repair bills and inconvenience. By practicing good drain and toilet hygiene during Unblocktober, you can potentially save money in the long run.
Public Health: Maintaining hygienic washrooms is crucial for public health. Clogged sewage systems can lead to unsanitary conditions and the spread of diseases. Unblocktober encourages everyone to play their part in ensuring clean and functional washrooms.

How You Can Participate

Participating in Unblocktober is easy and can make a significant impact. Here are some steps you can take:

Educate: Learn about what should and shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet or poured down the sink. Educate your family, friends, and colleagues about these guidelines.

Choose the Right Products: Opt for biodegradable and septic-safe toiletries, such as toilet paper, to reduce the risk of blockages.

Install Filters and Traps: Consider installing drain screens, hair catchers, and grease traps to prevent debris and substances from entering your sewage system.

Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance and inspections of your plumbing and sewage systems to detect and address potential issues early.

Promote Unblocktober: Spread the word about Unblocktober on social media and within your community to raise awareness and encourage others to participate #UnblocktoberSewerSavers

Unblocktober serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility we have in maintaining clean and hygienic washrooms. By participating in this annual campaign, you can contribute to the protection of our environment, save on plumbing costs, and ensure better public health.

At B Hygienic Washroom Services, we fully support Unblocktober and encourage you to join us in making October a month dedicated to promoting hygienic washrooms for all. Together, we can make a positive impact on our surroundings and create a cleaner, healthier future. Contact us on 01782 644788 if you would like to discuss how you can make the change!
