Throughout the years, humans have been scratching their heads on how they can shed the weight off of their trusty gadgets and appliances. Luckily, issues like these have been resolved as technology continues to evolve.

From flat-screen television sets, handy mobile phones, laptops, portable speakers, microwave ovens, mini-refrigerators, and the like, it’s clear that humans have already cracked the ‘slimming code’ for their once bulky necessities. 

It appears that, while engineers and manufacturers have been searching for other things to shed some weight off, they’ve forgotten to pick the dishwasher as one of their candidates. 

Fortunately, today, these once lowly and Jurassic-looking dishwashers have been turned into a compact and sleek-looking appliance that can make one’s other kitchen appliances a bit, well, dull. 

 

Compact Dishwashers Take Center Stage 

Heeding the sign of the times, dishwashers have now evolved into a compact appliance that can be taken anywhere and, in this age of mobility (and compact obsessiveness), this feature is what everybody is waiting for.

 

Reasons Why Your Office Needs a Compact Dishwasher 

Today’s office life is almost a cross between a hamster’s wheel and a treadmill, both physically and mentally. Everything is in constant motion and countless tasks nag every minute of one’s attention. 

 

With high demands inside the office, the simple act of washing dishes can now be regarded as 

an undesirable task, consuming whatever little and precious time office workers have when either resting or working. 

 

With circumstances like these, it is not hard to dream of an office with its own state-of-the-art, premium, compact dishwasher to help lessen the already stressed minds of the office staff.

Below are the appliance’s major advantages for the office and its workers. 

  1. It’s quick and efficient.

Washing off the unwanted stains on dishes and utensils as fast as possible has always been the major headache in washing the dishes, both in the traditional and modern way of doing it. 

Fortunately, compact dishwashers have three handy features: its small size, strong spray feature, and a powerful motor to clean dishes as quickly and as efficiently as possible. 

With the least effort exerted and optimum output, it saves workers’ time and energy to wash dishes. This would eventually lead to more work productivity. 

 

  1. It provides more counter space.

Modern computer monitors, CPU devices, printers, and other office equipment have already provided a lot of free space in offices everywhere. This is because of their slim and compact sizes, making offices more modern-looking than ever. 

Compact dishwashers, undoubtedly, will do the exact same thing.

With more counter space now available because of its compact size, it gives a cleaner and more improved office look.

Moreover, the freed-up counter space can be utilized even more with other necessary kitchen equipment and utensils.

 

  1. It conjures less waste which, in turn, creates more savings.

In traditional dishwashing, people tend to think that the more detergent we use, the cleaner the plate can be. That’s not always the case.

Compact dishwashers are designed to save water and, ultimately, an office’s expenses on washing resources such as detergent powder/paste.

The machine combines the power of water pressure, air intake, motor power, efficient drain pump systems, and a soap/detergent dispenser to save as much washing resources as possible while providing optimum output. 

 

  1. It saves water.

What’s impressive about compact dishwashers is that every component works together to maximize the machine’s washing power with the least water possible.

However, this doesn’t mean that compact dishwashers skimp on the water just for the sake of saving it. This device is miles smarter than that. 

By using water pressure, motor and drain pump systems, control panels, and proper filtration, it uses the least amount of water as possible while also delivering double the result of traditional dishwashing by hand. 

Consequently, since water is being saved, an office’s water expenses can be lessened. This will also entail saving the environment in the process. 

 

  1. It thoroughly disinfects kitchen utensils.

Another appealing feature of compact dishwashers is its ability to disinfect utensils. Since there are models that can use hot water or heat water within the machine, it can kill bacteria on the unreachable niches and tight crevices of the utensils with the least effort. 

Additionally, with the busy life inside the office, office workers might not put too much attention in disinfecting the utensils because of the sheer amount of effort needed to disinfect them. 

With compact dishwashers, office workers can be encouraged to disinfect their utensils after eating because of the less effort it requires. With this, potential illnesses from bacteria on kitchen utensils can be prevented.

 

  1. It works quietly.

What’s the use of being compact, automatic, and economical if an appliance is too noisy when operating? 

Thankfully, that’s one of the top concerns of dishwasher manufacturers. Compact dishwashers are designed to operate as quietly as possible. This feature is especially important in office premises. 

Nobody wants to distract fellow officemates and, God-forbid, their boss while washing dishes, right?

The machine does produce sound but, with its little to silent hum, it’s far from distracting the focus of fellow workers from their specific tasks in the office. 

 

  1. It acts as eye candy.

Traditional sinks in the office hardly impress anyone but, with the presence of a compact dishwasher in the office, it can be considered an eye-catching equipment for any visitors. 

The presence of this equipment also signals that an office is in touch with the latest and most relevant technological equipment that can improve the office’s work productivity. 

 

  1. It doesn’t need other major kitchen modifications.

With its compact size, no big modifications in an office’s kitchen corner are needed to make it fully operational. With that, an office won’t be burdened by big and additional costs just to operate it in full capacity. 

In regards to all the reasons stated above, today’s workers deserve modern equipment. In this case, modern kitchen equipment is considered to be a necessity in offices. 

Compact dishwashers have everything that offices would want: a time-saving, reliable, and resourceful piece of equipment, operates quietly, hygienic, and as a bonus: a head-turner for every visitor.

The fast-paced, modern life has made convenience a top priority. As a result, we regularly use and discard billions of disposable cups, plates, and cutlery every year, even at the office. We’d rather throw them out than go to the trouble of washing and reusing non-disposable ones. Because it is convenient.

That’s not good for the environment on so many levels.

Producing disposable items use a lot of resources, especially the supposedly eco-friendly ones that use paper instead of plastic. Producing single-use paper cups, for example, takes down 20 million trees a year. Recycling them takes up more resources (and produce more emissions), and only 1% goes for recycling anyway.

Plastic cups are kinder to trees, but not so much for the environment in general. Producing them releases copious amounts of greenhouse gases, and only some are even recyclable. That means tons of landfill fodder that will not degrade for decades.

If all that’s putting you off your morning cup of coffee, don’t let it.

You can easily find the best solution to the plastic cup (and cutlery) problem by using reusable mugs, cups, and cutlery when in the office, just like you do at home.

You might be asking doubtfully: But what about those studies about all those germs in the typical office pantry and sponges?

That is a real problem. And we have the solution.

The FreshCup Compact Dishwasher is a cup washing station specifically designed to solve these problems. You can have your cups, mugs, and cutlery (and even small dishes) squeaky clean and ready for use in 30 seconds at a touch of a button.

It’s so easy it’s convenient.

You might even say it’s the microwave of the dishwashers.

FreshCup is a revolution for the office pantry, and works just as well in the home kitchen. You no longer need to wait until you have enough to fill a regular dishwasher, and then wait again for it to be clean. Use this spiffy cup washing station to clean as you go. Pop in a mug or two any time you need and take it out in half a minute. It doesn’t get better than that.

Oh, wait, it does.

FreshCup uses a controlled amount of 100% biodegradable detergents that becomes pH neutral during the washing process, so the system does not dump chemicals back into the environment. Even better, the system uses less than half the amount of water it takes to wash a typical mug by hand.

You can say goodbye to iffy sponges and disposable cups, and say hurray for the environment!

Disposable Cups – The Price of Convenience and How to Stop Paying It https://www.freshcup.ie/disposable-cups-the-price-of-convenience-and-how-to-stop-paying-it/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=disposable-cups-the-price-of-convenience-and-how-to-stop-paying-it Thu, 12 Dec 2019 09:38:30 +0000 https://www.freshcup.ie/?p=1599 Living in the age of Western excess, it has become 2nd nature for us to seek out convenience and comfort.

Living in the age of Western excess, it has become 2nd nature for us to seek out convenience and comfort.

Technological progress has brought many unforeseen challenges to our lives. These, however, are (usually) far outweighed by the benefits of technology, including an abundance of tools that help us save time, which for many of us, is the single most valuable resource.

Disposable coffee cups are a prime example of this.

Around the world, millions of people drink from tens of millions of disposable cups every day, totaling billions of cups annually.
What has long been considered one of the modern era’s ultimate inventions, is emerging as one of its most devastating threats – not only to the environment but to our own well-being.

He stated that two thirds of all colds, and more than half of all infections are sourced in food, cause by conditions in the home.
What’s so bad about disposable cups?

Most disposable Styrofoam cups are coated with oil-derived plastic that is non-biodegradable, breaking in to millions of tiny particles that will never, ever disappear.

For those who believe paper cups are better, well, the truth is that paper cups aren’t entirely safe for the planet either. Not only does the production of paper cups mean cutting down millions of trees every year, but their manufacturing process requires tremendous quantities of energy.

So, there you have it – precious and scarce resources go in to making a single cup of coffee, bringing us but a few meagre minutes of gratification.

Not that smart, is it?

A word about our health

In addition to their negative impact on the planet, disposable paper cups are also coated with plastic materials. This plastic does, indeed, keep boiling beverages from seeping through our cups, but it may also diffuse into the drink itself, and from there straight into our bodies.

Keep in mind, that even if the amount of plastic that finds its way into our bodies from a single cup is negligible, this plastic may never leave our innards. Consequently, the large number of cups we use over the years can lead to high levels of contaminants in our bodies.

How can I reduce disposable cup usage in the office?

1. Increase subject awareness

In 2019, the EU announced a ban on disposable cups, with the aim of reducing the heavy health and environmental damage caused over the decades of their use.

What can you do?

Raise awareness in staff meetings, draft company policies that address the issue and hang them everywhere, join designated work groups and learn more about solutions already implemented elsewhere in the world.

2. Severely reduce disposable cup purchases

Disposables not only harm users and the environment, but also create significant (and unnecessary) office expense.
Reduce to a minimum the purchase of disposables, including cutlery, glasses and disposable plates, as well as trays and bottles.
Acquire multi-purpose utensils for public use and give employees personalized gifts, such as high-quality mugs and plates.

3. Get FreshCUP™ into your office kitchen, the sooner the better

The kitchen sponge may have 200 times more germs than the toilet seat.

You wouldn’t consider preparing food in the toilet, but you do prepare food on the kitchen counter inspite of it having more germs than the toilet seat. According to the University of Arizona expert Prof. Charles Gerba, the kitchen is a germ paradise, where germs especially like growing in cleaning cloths or sponges, which are home to 200 times more germs than found on toilet seats.

Gerba presented his findings last week at the Washington D.C. American Academy for the Promotion of Science conference, from his research on reducing the amount of germs in the average home

He stated that two thirds of all colds, and more than half of all infections are sourced in food, cause by conditions in the home.
