How to Choose a Tork Hygiene System for Your Business

In a hotel, restaurant, office or healthcare facility, a well-designed washroom takes more than an attractive dispenser. The dispenser and refill must be compatible, the capacity should suit the number of visitors, and staff need a refilling routine they can manage every day. These are the starting points for choosing a Tork professional hygiene system.

Why choose the dispenser and refill together?

Tork systems use identifying codes. H2 and H5, for example, refer to different hand towel systems; S4 identifies a soap system; and T7 identifies a toilet paper system. The code helps you match a dispenser with the right refill. A hand towel, soap cartridge or toilet paper roll made for one system will not automatically fit another.

Start with four questions: How many people use the washroom each day? How often can staff check the dispensers? How much wall and storage space is available? What kind of experience should visitors have? The answers help establish the right capacity and dispensing format.

Hand towels and dispensers: H2, H1 or H5?

For a compact space with moderate traffic, consider the Tork Xpress H2 multifold hand towel dispenser. It dispenses folded paper towels one at a time, helping control the number of sheets taken at once. H2 refills are available in different qualities and sizes; the right choice depends on the dispenser and the level of comfort you want to provide.

If you prefer a roll towel, Tork Matic H1 is another option, with a dispenser that presents one sheet at a time. For a high-traffic washroom, look at Tork PeakServe H5. According to Tork, the full-size H5 dispenser holds more than 2,100 towels and can be topped up before it is empty. This matters where frequent refills or an empty dispenser can disrupt service.

Paper hand towels for washrooms and table napkins serve different purposes. Check the product’s intended use when choosing a refill.

Foam soap and dispensers: why does the refill format matter?

The Tork S4 foam soap dispenser works with a compatible cartridge. Tork states that the factory-sealed bottle and new pump supplied with every refill help reduce the risk of contamination during replenishment. For staff, it also matters how easy it is to replace an empty cartridge and plan stock levels.

Do not compare soaps only by bottle volume. Check which cartridge fits the dispenser, how many washrooms you operate, how often refills are needed and which formulation suits the facility.

Toilet paper: what changes with Tork OptiServe T7?

The Tork OptiServe T7 dispenser uses coreless toilet paper rolls. Eliminating the cardboard core removes that source of waste. The system dispenses paper in individual portions; actual refill frequency and stock needs depend on the facility’s traffic.

How do you compare the real cost of different systems?

The price of one pack or roll does not tell the whole story. Record the refill price, sheet count or roll length, average use per visit, refill frequency and staff time. Then calculate the cost per use or, for example, per 1,000 visits. This gives you a more useful comparison for your facility.

Use the same time period and comparable traffic in each calculation. There is no universal percentage saving for every Tork system: the outcome depends on how a facility uses it and which refill it selects.

Frequently asked questions

Will an H2 hand towel fit an H5 dispenser?

No. H2 and H5 identify different systems. Check the dispenser code and refill compatibility before ordering.

Does every business need the same dispenser?

No. A small office, a restaurant and a busy public venue have different requirements. Consider visitor traffic, available space and how often staff can refill the unit.

Where should we start?

Assess traffic and existing dispensers in each washroom, then choose compatible paper hand towels, soap and toilet paper. The HORECA team can help you select suitable Tork systems.
