Collection: Toilet Paper

The difference between 2-ply and 3-ply toilet paper lies in their construction, performance, and suitability for different environments. 2-ply toilet paper consists of two layers of tissue bonded together, offering a good balance between strength and economy. This option provides adequate performance for most standard applications and represents the most widely used specification in commercial settings due to its cost-effectiveness and functionality. 3-ply toilet paper features an additional third layer, creating a significantly thicker, more luxurious product with enhanced softness and absorbency. This premium option provides superior comfort and performance, typically requiring fewer sheets per use despite the higher unit cost. The additional thickness of 3-ply paper also contributes to a perception of quality that can enhance user experience in executive washrooms, high-end hospitality venues, or premium office facilities. When choosing between these options, consider both direct costs and usage patterns—3-ply products may reduce consumption through fewer sheets per use, potentially offsetting some of the additional expense. Environmental considerations may also factor into your decision, as 2-ply options generally require fewer resources to manufacture. At ClickCleaning, we offer both 2-ply and 3-ply options across our range, allowing you to select the appropriate balance between luxury and economy for your specific facility requirements.

Jumbo toilet rolls are larger-capacity toilet paper rolls specifically designed for high-traffic commercial washrooms where minimizing maintenance and ensuring continuous availability are priorities. Unlike standard domestic toilet rolls that typically contain 200-400 sheets, jumbo rolls contain substantially more paper—ranging from 150-400 meters in length depending on the specific variant. This increased capacity directly translates to significant operational advantages in busy facilities. Most importantly, jumbo rolls dramatically reduce the frequency of replenishment, minimizing labor costs and eliminating the frustration of depleted supplies during peak usage periods. The specialized dispensers used with these rolls are designed to control consumption through measured dispensing, potentially reducing overall paper usage by 20-30% compared to conventional rolls. From a sustainability perspective, jumbo rolls typically use less packaging material relative to the amount of product, reducing packaging waste. The bulk supply approach also minimizes transportation impacts per unit of product delivered. These rolls occupy less storage space proportionate to their capacity, optimizing inventory management in facilities with limited storage areas. The enclosed dispensing systems protect the paper from contamination and vandalism while presenting a more professional appearance than conventional toilet roll holders. Different jumbo roll sizes—mini jumbos (150-200m), standard jumbos (300m), and maxi jumbos (400m+)—allow facility managers to select the appropriate capacity based on specific washroom traffic patterns, service intervals, and dispenser space constraints. For facilities welcoming dozens or hundreds of visitors daily, jumbo toilet rolls represent a practical, economical, and user-satisfying solution to washroom management.

Selecting between conventional toilet rolls and specialized dispensing systems requires evaluating several key factors specific to your facility. Conventional toilet rolls present advantages in smaller facilities with limited traffic—they require minimal initial investment as their dispensers are inexpensive, they're familiar to all users requiring no instruction, and they're easily sourced from numerous suppliers. However, they present significant limitations in busier environments: rapid depletion requiring frequent checking and replacement, potential for wastage through overuse, vulnerability to theft or vandalism, and limited hygiene protection as the product is exposed. Dispensing systems, including jumbo, micro, coreless, and Katrin options, offer compelling benefits for higher-traffic facilities. These systems substantially reduce maintenance requirements through vastly increased capacity and controlled dispensing that can reduce consumption by 20-40%. The enclosed design protects paper from contamination, humidity, and tampering while presenting a more professional appearance. Though dispensing systems require higher initial investment in appropriate fixtures, they typically deliver lower lifetime costs through reduced labor, waste, and consumption. When making this decision, consider your specific environment: facilities with fewer than 20-30 daily users may find conventional rolls sufficient, while busier locations almost invariably benefit from dispensing systems. Washrooms serving the public particularly benefit from the vandal-resistant features of enclosed systems. If aesthetic considerations are important, premium dispensing systems present a more sophisticated appearance than conventional holders. For facilities transitioning from conventional rolls to dispensing systems, the investment typically pays for itself within 6-12 months through reduced maintenance costs and paper consumption. At ClickCleaning, we can provide customized recommendations based on your specific traffic patterns, service intervals, and budgetary considerations.

Micro, coreless, and Katrin system toilet rolls represent specialized toilet paper solutions designed for specific dispensing systems, each offering unique advantages for commercial washrooms. Micro toilet rolls typically measure 95-125mm in diameter—smaller than standard jumbo rolls but with significantly more capacity than conventional rolls. They're specifically designed for compact dispensers in washrooms with space constraints, offering increased capacity without requiring large dispenser housings. These rolls balance capacity with space efficiency, making them ideal for smaller cubicles or facilities transitioning from conventional to commercial systems. Coreless toilet rolls eliminate the traditional cardboard tube at the center, maximizing the amount of usable paper within the same diameter roll. This design typically delivers 8-10% more paper compared to equivalent sized rolls with cores, reducing waste and improving sustainability profiles. The coreless design allows these rolls to be used completely, eliminating the cardboard waste associated with conventional cores. Special adapters in the dispensers hold these rolls securely despite the absence of a center tube. Katrin system rolls are part of a proprietary dispensing system designed for maximum efficiency in high-traffic environments. These rolls feature specific dimensions and perforation patterns that work exclusively with Katrin dispensers, creating an integrated solution that optimizes paper usage. The system typically features controlled dispensing mechanisms that release precise amounts of paper, reducing waste while ensuring adequate supply for each user. The Katrin system is engineered for exceptional reliability in demanding environments, with dispensers designed for easy maintenance and paper loading. When selecting between these specialized options, consider your specific requirements—space constraints might favor micro rolls, sustainability priorities could make coreless rolls attractive, while facilities seeking an integrated system with proven reliability might prefer the Katrin solution. Each system requires compatible dispensers, so facility managers should consider both immediate needs and long-term standardization across multiple washrooms.

Calculating toilet paper requirements for your facility involves assessing several variables to ensure adequate supply without excessive inventory. Start by determining your daily user count—employees, customers, visitors, and any other regular facility users. Research indicates the average person uses approximately 57 sheets (or 8.6 meters) of toilet paper per day, with women typically using slightly more than men. Multiply your daily user count by these averages, adjusting for your specific demographic mix. Consider occupancy patterns—offices typically see 5-day usage with daytime concentration, while accommodation or healthcare facilities require 24/7 supply. For a standard office with 50 employees operating weekdays only, the basic calculation would be: 50 people × 8.6 meters × 5 days = 2,150 meters weekly. Factor in your preferred buffer stock to prevent shortages—most facilities maintain 30-50% extra inventory as a safeguard against delivery delays or unexpected usage spikes. The capacity of your chosen product significantly impacts ordering frequency; conventional rolls (approximately 35 meters) would require 61 rolls weekly for our example facility, while 200m mini jumbo rolls would need only 11 rolls for the same usage. Consider storage constraints when determining order quantities—larger capacity rolls require less storage space for equivalent usage periods. For new facilities without historical data, implement a monitoring system for the first few months to track actual consumption patterns, then adjust your calculations accordingly. Seasonal variations affect some facilities—retail locations during holiday seasons or educational institutions during term times may require adjusted inventory. At ClickCleaning, we can help develop customized calculations based on your specific facility type, user demographics, and selected products to establish an efficient ordering schedule that prevents both wasteful overstocking and inconvenient shortages.

Environmentally-conscious facilities can minimise the ecological impact of toilet paper provision through strategic product selection and management practices. Recycled content toilet paper offers significant environmental benefits, with options containing 30-100% post-consumer recycled fiber requiring substantially fewer virgin resources. Look for products with higher recycled content percentages and certification from recognised environmental standards such as FSC Recycled or Blue Angel. For facilities requiring virgin fiber paper due to specific requirements, ensure it comes from responsibly managed forests by selecting products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). The manufacturing process significantly impacts environmental footprints—look for toilet paper produced using elemental chlorine-free (ECF) or totally chlorine-free (TCF) bleaching processes that reduce harmful chemical byproducts. Consider higher capacity options like jumbo rolls that use less packaging relative to product volume and reduce transportation impacts through fewer deliveries. Dispensing systems that control usage can significantly reduce consumption—some modern dispensers cut waste by 20-40% compared to conventional holders. Coreless toilet roll systems eliminate the cardboard tube waste associated with traditional rolls while providing more usable paper per roll. From a lifecycle perspective, facilities should evaluate both production impacts and operational efficiency; sometimes a slightly less "green" product that dramatically reduces consumption provides better overall environmental performance. Be wary of products making vague environmental claims without certification; look for specific, verified credentials from recognized organizations. For comprehensive environmental strategies, combine responsible purchasing with operational measures like installing dual-flush toilets that reduce water consumption and implementing monitoring systems to optimize ordering and prevent waste from overstocking. At ClickCleaning, we offer an extensive range of environmentally responsible toilet paper options with transparent environmental credentials to help your facility meet sustainability goals without compromising on performance.

Toilet paper dispensers play a crucial role in managing costs and enhancing operational efficiency in commercial washrooms. The right dispensing system can significantly impact your bottom line through several mechanisms. Controlled dispensing features—including friction brakes, sheet-by-sheet delivery, or predetermined length settings—can reduce consumption by 20-40% compared to conventional holders by preventing excessive unrolling. This reduction directly translates to lower product costs while maintaining user satisfaction with adequate supply. High-capacity dispensers dramatically decrease labor costs by reducing service frequency; a standard jumbo roll dispenser might require refilling once every 5-10 days compared to daily or twice-daily replacement of conventional rolls in busy facilities. This labor saving often represents the most significant cost advantage of professional dispensing systems. Quality dispensers prevent product damage from water exposure or humidity in washroom environments, eliminating waste from compromised rolls. The pilferage protection offered by locked dispensers addresses a common issue in public facilities—unauthorized removal of rolls for personal use—which can account for 5-15% of product loss in some environments. From an operational perspective, most modern dispensers feature viewing windows or indicators that allow maintenance staff to quickly assess remaining product without opening the unit, optimizing service routes and preventing both premature replacement and embarrassing outages. When calculating return on investment for dispensing systems, consider both the direct product savings from reduced consumption and the often more substantial operational savings from decreased maintenance requirements. Though professional dispensing systems require higher initial investment than basic holders, this cost is typically recovered within 6-12 months in moderate to high-traffic facilities. At ClickCleaning, we offer a comprehensive range of dispensing options from basic to sophisticated, allowing you to select the appropriate system based on your specific traffic patterns, aesthetic requirements, and budgetary considerations.

High-traffic public washrooms present unique challenges that require specialized toilet paper solutions to maintain consistent service, control costs, and ensure user satisfaction. Jumbo roll systems represent the optimal choice for most high-volume public facilities, with 300-400m rolls providing the capacity necessary to withstand intensive usage periods without depletion. These larger rolls can serve hundreds of users between replacements, minimising both maintenance requirements and the risk of embarrassing outages during peak times. For maximum efficiency, select dispensers with controlled dispensing mechanisms that prevent excessive usage while ensuring adequate supply for each user. Particularly in public settings where users have no incentive to conserve, these control features can reduce consumption by 25-40%. The durability of both paper and dispensers becomes critical in public environments—look for commercial-grade toilet paper with appropriate wet strength to prevent disintegration during use, and vandal-resistant dispensers constructed from impact-resistant materials with secure locking mechanisms. Public washrooms benefit from reserve roll systems that automatically transition to a second roll when the primary roll depletes, ensuring continuous availability even during unexpected usage spikes. For facilities with extremely high volume or limited service intervals, twin jumbo dispensers holding two full-sized jumbo rolls can extend service intervals to several weeks even in busy locations. Consider toilet paper with faster biodegradability for public facilities, as occasional excessive usage can increase the risk of plumbing blockages with standard products. The visual appearance of both product and dispensers influences user behavior; professional-looking systems tend to encourage more respectful treatment and reduced vandalism compared to basic alternatives. For logistics management, implement monitoring systems that track usage patterns to optimize maintenance schedules and inventory levels, preventing both wasteful frequent checking and problematic outages. At ClickCleaning, we offer specialized high-capacity systems designed specifically for demanding public environments, with options ranging from standard jumbo dispensers to sophisticated electronic systems that monitor usage and communicate maintenance needs.

Addressing toilet paper theft and wastage requires a strategic approach combining appropriate equipment, management procedures, and user education. The foundation of effective control starts with appropriate dispensing systems—locked, secure dispensers physically prevent roll removal and unauthorised access to supplies. These systems typically require special keys or tools for refilling, dramatically reducing opportunistic theft. Select dispensers with controlled delivery mechanisms that release limited amounts with each pull, preventing excessive dispensing while ensuring adequate supply for legitimate needs. For facilities experiencing significant theft issues, consider jumbo roll systems too large for practical removal or micro/mini jumbo options that aren't compatible with standard household holders, reducing their attractiveness for personal use. From a management perspective, implement inventory tracking systems that monitor consumption patterns across different washrooms and time periods, allowing quick identification of unusual usage spikes that might indicate theft or wastage. Secure storage of replacement supplies in locked janitorial closets prevents unauthorized access to backup inventory. For products in storage, consider removing outer packaging that identifies contents as toilet paper, making supplies less recognizable and targeted. In environments with severe theft problems, some facilities implement "just-in-time" stocking where maintenance staff carry only the replacements needed for immediate service rather than storing supplies in accessible areas. User education can significantly impact behavior—signage about the costs of theft and wastage sometimes reduces problems, particularly in workplace settings. For extreme cases, specialized products like security tissue with organizational branding or unusual colors make stolen product easily identifiable. Consider the broader facilities management context—sometimes, theft occurs because users fear shortages; ensuring reliable supply naturally reduces hoarding behavior. For educational institutions or similar settings, communication campaigns about the environmental and financial impacts of wastage may appeal to users' better nature. At ClickCleaning, we offer a range of security-enhanced dispensing systems specifically designed to address theft and wastage concerns while maintaining convenient access for legitimate users.

Proper storage of toilet paper in commercial facilities preserves product quality, prevents contamination, and streamlines maintenance operations. Designate a dedicated, clean storage area specifically for washroom supplies, keeping toilet paper separate from cleaning chemicals, maintenance equipment, or any items that could transfer odours or contaminants. The storage environment should maintain moderate, stable temperature and humidity levels—excessive humidity can degrade paper quality and potentially support mould growth, while extremely dry conditions may affect softness. Elevated storage on shelves or pallets prevents contact with floors where water from cleaning or minor flooding might cause damage. Keep products in their original packaging until needed for use, as manufacturer packaging provides protection from dust, moisture, and handling contamination. Implement clear inventory organization with older stock positioned for use first (first-in, first-out rotation) to prevent product deterioration from extended storage. For theft prevention in facilities with multiple maintenance staff or shared storage areas, consider secured storage solutions with access limited to authorized personnel. When determining appropriate inventory levels, balance having sufficient stock to prevent shortages against excessive quantities that consume valuable storage space or risk deterioration before use. Standard commercial facilities typically maintain 2-4 weeks' supply depending on delivery reliability and storage constraints. Larger operations benefit from implementing inventory management systems that track usage patterns and automate reordering when supplies reach predetermined thresholds. For multi-location businesses, consider centralized purchasing with decentralized storage—buying in bulk for cost advantages while distributing reasonable quantities to each location for convenient access. In washrooms themselves, maintain small reserve supplies in locked cabinets where space permits, allowing immediate replacement when rolls deplete. At ClickCleaning, we can advise on optimal storage solutions and inventory management practices specific to your facility size, usage patterns, and available space, helping you maintain product quality while optimizing operational efficiency.
