A day to support those who lost loved ones during the pandemic and to remember those we lost.
Our Director Vicki shared her thoughts via our Instagram page on the times for B hygienic during COVID 19. We all have our memories and stories, Vicki worked through the time in our service office helping to source products and PPE. The local care homes and hospices struggled to obtain and we managed to help where we could.
We found it difficult to manage the price increases as we knew it didn’t seem right having to source products at a much higher value than they had been the month before. We were lucky to have such loyal staff who worked hard when they could.
We did increase our sales in hand sanitizer however we also credited all smaller businesses who had been forced to close, we were lucky that we did keep going but it didn’t mean a profit increase.
We all learnt alot during this time, being kind, accepting things change and not to take things for granted.
A common complaint in mens washrooms is the smell. Bacteria can penetrate surfaces and cause build up.
There are a few reasons why this foul odour occurs:
Cleaners – try as they might bleach just doesn’t cut through and often causes more damage than cure. A biological washroom cleaner is needed to get to the source and also works along side urinal caps to prevent blockages.
Inadequate flushing – Water savers ensure that there is always enough water in the traps to preserve the water seal. Every urinal needs to have enough flush water, the water savers can be set on a timer to prevent waste.
Mal odours in washrooms should and can be a thing of the past. Modern technology has made huge breakthroughs in ensuring we can identify the source of the problem and provide cost effective solutions.
We have such a fantastic range available to help – have a clean you can see and smell!

We are always passionate about supporting events locally and we were honoured to be a sponsor of Stoke Pride 2022. These events are fun, full of entertainment and also so important in raising health awareness, increasing awareness of the services available to the LGBT community . The main aim to eradicate hate crime towards homophobia and transphobia all together.
This week is the start of Cervical Screening Awareness Week with Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust.
We kicked off the week with talks at Pride for anyone with a cervix to get screened. We had some excellent conversations about the booking process, the experience of the test and why it is so very important to get tested.
Huge well done to the organisers and thank you for letting us be a part of something so special.
In 2020 we launched B Clean – a sister company of B Hygienic.
The purpose of B Clean initially was to focus on the much needed sourcing of supplies during the pandemic. This allowed us to ensure we could provide hand sanitizer, PPE and products or services which supported the restrictions around COVID-19. We focussed on developing new and innovative ranges.
This company is evolving to focus on our future sustainability commitment. We are passionate about working towards making a positive impact on the world in which we conduct our business.
A washroom company can be a difficult place for this to happen as the largest proportion of business is waste disposal, which we are not always in control of the end result. We have started a focus group to look at ideas that are smart for the business, customer and are good for the environment.
We will be trialling different ranges of products, offering alternatives and ongoing work on how to improve. This includes our community involvement, vendor relationships and responsible product sourcing.
