Keeping Public Washrooms more hygienic with BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology

A Smarter Way to Enhance Hygiene in Busy Spaces

Keeping public and commercial washrooms clean isn’t just about appearances, especially in places that see a lot of people coming and going. These spaces have to cope with constant use, and for the teams looking after them, the to-do list is never short. Maintenance, restocking, dealing with wear and tear, there’s a lot to think about. But hygiene is always a top priority.

To make things a little easier, Mediclinics has designed many of their washroom products, like hand dryers and baby changing units, with built-in antimicrobial protection, thanks to BioCote® technology. It’s not something you can see, but it’s always there, working quietly in the background to help surfaces stay cleaner for longer between regular cleans.

Built-In Hygiene: What Is BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology?

BioCote® is an antimicrobial technology you’ll find built directly into certain Mediclinics products, like hand dryers and baby changing stations. This means the antimicrobial protection is part of the product itself, so it won’t wear or wash away.
This technology is trusted globally to reduce the number of microbes -like bacteria and mould- on treated surfaces, helping to keep them cleaner and more hygienic for longer.

Why Antimicrobial Protection Matters in Public Washrooms

Surfaces in public washrooms like hand dryers and changing tables can quickly become hotspots for microbial growth. Even with regular cleaning regimes, microbes can build-up between cleans. BioCote® antimicrobial protection works 24/7 between cleans to keep the surface fresh.

When BioCote® is built in, its working continuously to:

• Keep surface cleaner for longer
• Increase public confidence in the products
• Minimise the build-up of odour-causing microbes

This leads to a better experience for washroom visitors, while reducing maintenance or replacements.

Hygiene Built into Mediclinics Products

Mediclinics focuses on performance.  They think about the bigger picture. That means developing innovative washroom products that are built to last and help support hygiene, especially in high-traffic areas.

That’s why Dualflow Plus®, U-Flow®, and BabyMedi® products by Mediclinics include built-in BioCote® antimicrobial technology. These products are already in use in places like airports, hospitals, schools, and office buildings, anywhere that wants durable, reliable equipment that also supports a cleaner washroom environment day in, day out.

Hygiene That Lasts as Long as the Product Does

Unlike wipes or sprays that offer short-term cleanliness, BioCote® antimicrobial technology is embedded during the manufacturing process. That means the protection lasts for the entire product lifecycle, it does not wash off or wear out.

For facility managers and specifiers, this offers long-term value with minimal upkeep. For end users, it offers peace of mind in knowing that the products have added hygiene built in.

Exceeding Expectations for Commercial Washrooms

Clean and easy-to-maintain washrooms aren’t just a luxury, they’re an expectation. By integrating antimicrobial protection into the design of our products, Mediclinics is helping facilities meet those expectations more easily and more effectively.

Together with BioCote®, They’re delivering smarter washroom solutions that work harder, so your facilities stay cleaner and more hygienic for longer.
