The sanitary bin is unlike other waste bins we may have around the home and office. Sanitary bins are designed for washroom and bathroom locations and as such, are often used to dispose of feminine hygiene products, razor blades and all manner of personal, hygienic and medicinal waste.

For this reason the sanitary bin should have several features. Firstly, a good bin for washrooms or bathrooms needs to have a pedal or sensor system. Nobody likes to handle bins, especially if somebody else has placed personal waste in their which may have traces of body fluids such as blood.

Secondly, a bin for the washroom needs to be of adequate size. If the sanitary bin is for a workplace wash room or bathroom then it needs to be large enough that it won’t fill up between emptying times. If a bin is full then many of the items that should be thrown in the waste bin will get discarded in the toilet. Some of these items such as feminine sanitary devices can block up toilet systems very easily and so failing to have the right sized bin could cost a fortune in plumbing bill.

Washroom bins and bins for the bathroom are also often made from Polypropylene. This is a man made polymer and is well suited for this type of location as it is quite resistant to bacteria and microbes as there is nowhere for the bugs to hide on the bin surface.

Other materials that are good for sanitary bins are stainless steel, although stainless steel bins are often more expensive but they offer good protection against bugs and are easy to clean too. Materials to be avoided are things like wicker or mesh. These may make attractive waste paper baskets but they are not fit for purpose in a sanitary location.

There are other areas to the washroom and bathroom where a sanitary bin is often used such as medical facilities and hospitals although specialist hospital bins and bins designed to take medicinal products are available for clinics, surgeries and hospitals. These are very similar to sanitary bins but are often larger, sturdier and have to adhere to numerous regulations including fire retardation.

Sanitary bins are an important part of washroom hygiene so please ensure your home or workplace has an adequate sanitary bin.

How sanitary is it to get your makeup done at the makeup counter?

I want to get my makeup done at Bare Escentuals, but it seems that the community makeup they use isn’t too sanitary at any of those places….with people putting it all over their hands etc. And how well are those brushes really cleaned? Any opinions on the sanitation of the makeup counters? Any bad experiences or tips? Thanks!
thanks for the answers so far…..i agree that i am probably more hesitant about people sticking their dirty hands in the makeup…. they definitely don’t monitor that!

Are Mud Baths and Treatments Sanitary and What are Their Benefits?

Mud treatment options have proved to be vastly popular with spa goers around the world. Despite the popularity of the treatments, questions and confusion over the use and benefits of the “mud” continue to surface.

An issue that is commonly confused is the actual use of “mud” in salons and spas. Products and treatments are often labeled as “mud” in order to simplify the product for consumers as well as for lack of a different term. It is this term that may have lead people to question whether their mud bath is not really filled with an expensive version of mud from their backyard, and could in fact be a dirty and unsanitary practice. Backyard mud contains high levels of toxins, such as lead and bacteria which can in fact have detrimental effects on the skin. Fortunately, most spas and salons utilize mud consisting of seaweed, volcanic ash, clay as well as other mineral rich substances which are mixed with natural or spring water. The Dead Sea mud is still recognized as one of the most beneficial forms of mud available, due to its high concentration in salt and minerals.

But is the mud bath still sanitary when other spa goers have bathed in the same bath as well? Well the answer is yes. You will be happy to know that the mud bath is sterilized after each use. This is usually done by adding boiling water to the mud for 15 mins and then draining it away after each mud bath is taken. The mud is also often raked and new mud is added after each visit. This ensures that the mud is sterile and fresh, guaranteeing a healthy and positive experience.

Besides the relaxation benefits of mud treatments, the mud also has a number of benefits on both the skin and body. The mud aids with blood circulation, skin detoxification and purification, removal of blackheads and blemishes, has anti-ageing properties as well as other added benefits. Depending on the type of mud used and its ingredients, it can be used for both cosmetic and healing purposes. Due to its water solubility, mud allows the skin to absorb nutrients from it or other products applied along with it.

Home based mud treatments are also now widely available, however they do not compare to the therapeutic experience received at a spa or skin clinic. The natural ingredients in mud products stain clothing and fabric and it is difficult to cover your entire body with mud. For this reason alone, a visit to your local spa may be the best way to experience a healthy and relaxing mud treatment.
