Dilution Control is Key

Cleanliness plays a significant role in ensuring that building services are meeting the needs of its occupants. It is widely believed that the more chemical concentrate you use, the better the product performs. This simply is not true. In order to use concentrated products safely, efficiently and effectively, dilution control systems, such as State’s One Solution™ dispenser, are a must.

WHAT IS DILUTION CONTROL?

Dilution control systems mix chemicals with water at a precise dilution ratio. 

WHY USE A DILUTION CONTROL SYSTEM?

Manual mixing of chemicals can be dangerous and time-consuming. When chemicals are not mixed properly, you can damage the surface being cleaned and put employees at risk, often resulting in large capital reinvestment. If businesses have to spend money on preventable employee medical bills, they jeopardize losing insurance premiums, or even worse, serious OSHA fines. These worries tend to lead businesses to using ready-to-use (RTU) products that are seemingly easier to handle and more efficient. However, RTU products are expensive and oftentimes wasteful. Whereas, dilution control systems solve all areas of concern. 

HOW TO USE A DILUTION CONTROL SYSTEM

State offers both wall-mounted and portable units for a variety of applications. Wall-mounted units can be used to fill large, heavy-duty equipment, such as auto scrubbers, to increase productivity and eliminate the hassle of manually mopping floors. They can also be used in kitchens to combine dishwashing liquid and sanitizer as well as janitorial closets to dispense up to six different chemicals. Portable units attach to the mouth of a specially fitted bottle and dispense chemicals to either buckets or spray bottles; equipping your cleaning staff with a safe and resourceful tool. 

Using one unit to dispense up to six products, and mounting the chemicals on a bottle rack, frees up space in the storage closet. Our concentrated cleaning and sanitizing products come in compact containers and only ship when you need them. Ensuring you never have an inventory surplus. State’s One Solution further increases employee safety by using safe, tamper-proof packaging and a closed-loop system that reduces chemical contact.

WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS CAN BE USED IN A DILUTION SYSTEM?

The One Solution dispensers come with State’s service and training programs, and the best cleaning, degreasing and disinfecting chemicals in the business. Each product dilutes at a different ratio, which is easy with a One Solution. Sit back and let State handle the equipment installation and custom dilution rate for each product so you can focus more time and energy on other day-to-day tasks.

BENEFITS 

Facility managers that oversee cleaning crews often turn to concentrated chemicals to save money. Dilution systems reduce the number of containers used and shipping costs, allowing more facilities to be more sustainable. These systems prevent janitorial workers from being exposed to harmful chemicals. Best of all, State’s One Solution system comes pre-labeled to ensure the right product is being used for the right application. This is why our dilution control system and service, shine in the marketplace.
