Flu Season is Coming: What You Need to Know

As the leaves start to change and the temperature drops, so does our immune system's ability to fight off germs. Flu season is just around the corner, typically starting in October. It's a time when everyone, adults and children alike, are at risk of getting sick. Which is why it’s important to take as many precautions as possible, and Saniflow has you covered with our HEPA filtered hand dryers and Biocote antimicrobial additives in our changing stations!

At Saniflow Corp., we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy environment, especially during flu season. That's why we offer a wide range of products designed to keep your restrooms clean and hygienic.

Our Hand Dryers: Your First Line of Defense

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs is by washing your hands thoroughly. But once your hands are clean, it's important to dry them completely. Our hand dryers are equipped with HEPA filters that remove 99.97% of airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria. Additionally, our hand dryers feature BioCote® antimicrobial additive, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria on the dryer's surface.

Beyond Hand Dryers: Baby Changing Stations

We also offer a variety of baby changing stations that are easy to clean and disinfect. Our stations are designed with your child's safety and comfort in mind, while also providing a hygienic environment for both parents and children. Additionally, our baby changing station is the only changing station on the market with ion hygienic technology which eliminates and neutralizes bacteria on the surface, after every use.
