The Best Dispensing Systems for Schools, Aged Care, and Hospitality

Not all dispensing systems are created equal. Schools, aged care facilities, and hospitality environments have unique cleaning needs. In this blog, we highlight the best chemical dispensing solutions for each sector — helping you save time, reduce errors, and keep staff safe.

Why Sector-Specific Solutions Matter

Each industry faces different cleaning challenges:

• Schools need child-safe, easy-to-use systems for shared spaces.

• Aged care facilities require strict hygiene protocols and infection control.

• Hospitality venues demand fast, high-volume cleaning with minimal disruption.

Choosing the right dispenser ensures your team gets the job done right — every time.

Best Dispensers for Schools

In education settings, simplicity and safety are key.

Recommended Features:

• Lockable or tamper-proof dispensers

• Colour-coded systems to prevent mix-ups

• Wall-mounted units to keep products out of reach

Ideal Products:

• Manual wall-mounted pump dispensers for classrooms and toilets

• Dilution control systems in cleaning closets to standardise mixing

These help staff apply the right products quickly, without exposing children to chemical risks.

Best Dispensers for Aged Care Facilities

Elder care requires uncompromising hygiene, especially in shared bathrooms, kitchens, and medical spaces.

Recommended Features:

• Touch-free or minimal-touch operation

• Clear labelling and dosing accuracy

• Closed-loop systems to avoid contact with concentrates

Ideal Products:

• Push pump dispensers for surface sanitisers and hand hygiene

• Pre-diluted concentrate dispensers to reduce human error

These systems support infection control protocols and staff safety while keeping cleaning consistent.

Best Dispensers for Hospitality

Speed and efficiency are everything in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and accommodation.

Recommended Features:

• Fast-fill capability for buckets or spray bottles

• Rugged design for frequent use

• Simple instructions for high turnover staff

Ideal Products:

• Quick-dosing wall units for kitchen degreasers and sanitisers

These options reduce downtime and ensure surfaces are safe between service rounds.

Benefits Across All Sectors

Using the right dispenser offers:

• Reduced chemical waste and overuse

• Lower staff training requirements

• Fewer injuries and compliance risks

• Consistent cleaning results across teams and sites

These savings add up — especially in multi-site operations or high-turnover industries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can one type of dispenser work across all sectors?

Some general-purpose dispensers can be used across industries, but optimising by sector gives better results.

Are wall-mounted dispensers better than portable ones?

Wall-mounted dispensers are more secure and consistent, especially where compliance is a concern.

Do these dispensers work with all chemical brands?

Most are compatible with a range of commercial cleaners, but always check compatibility or consult us.

What maintenance is required?

Basic rinsing and checking for clogs is usually enough. Closed systems require less frequent maintenance.
