How picky are you about what touches your skin? We’d guess you probably care about things like chemical irritants and whether anything you touch is crawling with invisible bacteria. Why should babies be any different?
When it comes to baby changing stations, the materials used are more important than you might initially think. Not only do the right materials ensure durability and longevity, but they also play a key role in maintaining hygiene, safety, and overall functionality. As a business owner, understanding the importance of materials in changing stations is essential when making this important purchase.
Why Materials Matter in Baby Changing Stations
The materials used for diaper changing stations are crucial for both durability and hygiene. Since these stations are used multiple times a day, choosing high-quality, long-lasting materials is essential to ensure they withstand frequent use. Hygiene is always a top priority for any product that comes into frequent contact with bodily fluids, making it vital for changing tables to resist bacteria, stains, and odors to maintain a clean and safe environment for each diaper change.
Investing in a high-quality, commercial baby changing station both ensures lasting durability and protects children. Sova's superior wall-mounted changing stations offer two types of quality changing surfaces: high density polyethylene (HDPE) and Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic changing stations.
Benefits of High-Density Polyethylene
There are several advantages of a changing surface made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE offers exceptional durability and is highly resistant to impacts, scratches, and general wear and tear, making it ideal for high-use environments.
It also offers top tier hygiene. The non-porous surface resists moisture, bacteria, and odors, which makes it easy to clean and sanitize. Additionally, HDPE is naturally resistant to chemical damage, ensuring it remains compatible with standard cleaning products for easy and convenient cleaning.
Benefits of ABS Plastic Insert
Diaper changing stations made with ABS plastic inserts also offer many benefits in durability and hygiene. Sova's line of stainless-steel baby changing stations uses an ABS plastic insert, adding an extra layer of support to the station's construction, ensuring long-lasting performance even with frequent use. This single insert piece is also replaceable, making maintenance and upgrades simple and cost-effective.
The smooth, non-porous surface makes it easy to wipe down, helping to maintain cleanliness and a visually appealing appearance. Additionally, ABS plastic naturally resists bacteria and stains, contributing to a hygienic environment for every diaper change.
Benefits for Businesses and Caregivers
Changing stations made from high-quality materials offer practical benefits for both businesses and caregivers. Durable materials reduce the need for buying frequent replacement safety belts or other parts and less repairs, resulting in long-term savings and less disruption in daily operations. A clean, well-maintained, and aesthetically pleasing station also enhances the overall user experience and promotes a positive brand perception, making customers feel confident in the business’s commitment to quality and care.
Investing in high quality wall-mounted changing stations is investing in your business and the wellbeing of your littlest customers.
